.35 TSH - unresolved medical issue for 12 months
my doctors have been giving me the runaround and havent conducted the necessary tests...its been a nightmare trying to get resolution.
i received my TSH test results today, stating my level is .35 (standard range said .34-5%) so it wasn't flagged as abnormal (highly doubt any doc will follow up with this anyway). i have a strong family history of hyperthyroidism. for the past year i have had concentrated lower left abdomin pain, hot flashes, nausea, weight loss, loss of appetite (due to nausea). prior to this incident i have noticed over the years i am often fatigued, my hair has thinned (im 24 y/o), and my skin is VERY dry ( i got my thyroid checked in 2007 and it was 1.85 back then)
the onset occurred last december, the pain in my LLQ woke me in the night. i then fainted and hit my head. this past monday i fainted again while at work. the night before i started feeling tension behind my left eye. after i passed out this past monday i awoke to tingling and numbness on just my left hand and lip. my necks been sore for several weeks and i dont think it is due to exercise or sleep positions. i stressed to the doctor ONLY my left side was experiencing these effects, but she again brushed it off
((im obviously switching insurance in january, but any assistance in the meantime is VERY MUCH appreciated!!))

It sounds like I am experiencing the same issues. I just had me thyroid level checked last week. It came back .35 and my T3 and T4 levels are on the low side but considered normal. Meanwhile, I sweat constantly, night sweats, I have nausea, heart palpitations, anxiety, tremors, my hair falls out etc. I feel like I'm losing my mind and I don't know what to do!
Request these blood tests: FT3, FT4, TSH. I believe the Graves' antibodies are the same as Hashimoto's, TGab and TPOab blood tests.
Also request a thyroid ultrasound.
Your symptoms sound like they very well could be thyroid. I used to get those same symptoms when my body would go hyper.
