Hello all you thyroid sufferers. Let me first say that I have a total appreciation of what you go through. For the last several months I have been experiencing neck pain, some swelling, sore raspy throat feeling, pain in the ears, jaw and just about every possible symptom of hypo and hyperthyroid. The only lab work done is as follows:
TSH. 0.771
Normal range based on Labcorp 0.450 - 4.500
Triiodothyronine, free, serum. 2.9
Normal range 2.0 - 4.4
T4, free, direct. 1.34
Normal range 0.82 - 1.77
U/S of the thyroid showed several small cysts, both lobes with heterogeneous density. The nurse originally called with the results and said my thyroid was a little high but the doctor later told me it was fine. Meanwhile the symptoms in the neck have intensified. Is it normal to have a sore throat and pain with this. Can someone please give me their opinion on what is going on? I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
