Dear Dr. Lupo, I would appreciate your input as I do not know which MD to see first. I have had these symptoms occurr about four times in the last 16 years and this last bout has lasted, instead of two to three weeks, two and a half months now. I have muscle fatigue, pain in legs and arms with muscle spasms at times that are severe and wake me up. I have shortness of breath ( about a year now going up stairs) Raynauds started about five years ago and I will wake up with both hands asleep. I will also experience flushing with some anxiety, mainly over whether I will have to live like this working full time much longer!. I became hypo 10 years ago and assume it is Hashi's as my boys ( age 14 and 11 now have Hashi's, my oldest's antibodies were high). Looking over my blood work over the past five years though I see that my TSH has hovered no lower than 2.3 and over the last year has been 4.3. ANA test came back very high 1:1230 with centromere pattern. My GP feels it is limited scleroderma? Do you know if this ANA can be due to Hashi's and Raynaud's alone or should I be seeing a Rhemutologist before endo and I also understand this TSH level is not theraputic and I am hoping some of these symptoms will subside with maybe T3 added or armour. I am currently on 100mcg of levo. Thank you, I am hoping for some insight for my children's sake as well.
