Starting in August of 2009, for the past 6-7 months I have been having multiple health problems. A lot of the symptoms match thyroid problem (Primary care doctor agrees), some don't.
Some of my symptoms are: Muscle pain all over, drier skin-especially on face (used to be a little oily-this is gone), tight neck/jaw/inside mouth area and strange sensations when I swallow, have lost about 1/3 of my hair, geographical tongue look and now slightly swollen tongue with scallops or ridges on the end of it, sore hands and feet and feet more than hands are extremely intolerant to cold, body twitches, tremors, strange chemical like smell in nose that hasnt gone away for a few months. (This is just a little of what I've experienced the past few months).
Some of my test results since August of 2009 are as follows:
8/31/09 TSH 4.51 (range 0.10-5.50)
9/14/09 TSH 1.97 (range 0.10-5.50)
9/14/09 Free T4 1.3 (range 0.8-1.7)
9/24/09 Vit B12 953 (range >200)
9/24/09 ANA positive 1:80 speckled (further testing: SS-A, SS-B, DNA, CCP, HLA, Rheumatoid Factor etc showed negative, ESR normal and multiple doctors including Rheumatologist have ruled it a false postive and declared not an autoimmune issue causing problem)
11/5/09 Tri-Iodothyronine Total 123 (range 50-170)
11/5/09 Free T4 0.9 (range 0.8-1.7)
11/5/09 TSH 1.18 (range 0.10-5.50)
11/5/09 Thyroperoxidase Antibody 96 (range 200)
1/15/10 ANA negative
I was hoping for your expertise on some of the thyroid testing that I had.
Thank you!
