This appears to be Graves' disease - would see an endocrinologist for confirmation and treatment options. Usually we start with methimazole and use radioactive iodine or surgery if needed.
I just want to thank you so much for helping us. God Bless your life .
o Doctor,
I truly hope that you can help me out. I have been experiencing pain on my left side of my body along with strong palpatations, hot flashes and extreme soreness for the past three months. I am confused as to why I am experiencing such discomfort on my left side of my body, but my results from thyroid ultrasound were negative. Below I have pasted my blood results indicating my thyroid issues. In addition, I am have a very difficult time sleeping. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions?
tsh.03/normal range is .35-5.50
ft4 1.3
thyroid stimulating immunoglob is 6.0 tsi index /normal range is less than or equal to 1.3
Ultrasound was normal.
Thanks in advance!
