That was not my response.......(the one by ar1281a).
The normal TSH suggests that it may not be your thyroid. Would get full panel w/ TSH, Free T4 and T3 to complete the picture -- if all normal, then it is not likely your thyroid causing the current symptoms but w/ the history of hyper would keep a close watch on thyroid and agree w/ consulting w/ a thyroid expert to help follow along.
you need to get your Free T4 & T3 tested. TSK appears within normal range. Are you taking anything else for your thyroid besides the BB?
Find your self a good endocrinologist that knows what s/he is doing with your thyroid.
Dear Dr. Lupo:
Thanks for your response. Yesterday I talked to my primary care doc. who is recommending that I see a specialist (endocrine doc) next. When the TSH was abnormal I tried both PTU and Metizole but I experienced low grade fevers so I had to stop taking these drugs. Because these are the only drugs that are prescribed for hyperthyroidism I don't have too many other options to help this problem.
Again, thanks for your help.
Chris
Dr. Lupo/ar1281a:
Thank you both for your quick responses. I will follow up w/ an endocrine doc, to test for T3 and T4, and will see what he/she says when the results come back. I just have to keep positive too and hope the palpatations/rashes get better in time too.
Thanks again,
Chris
