TSH 3rd generation test 58.14 U/L
I am a woman of the age of 28. I have been having issues with being thin my whole life {5'6 & 104lbs.} for about 10 years now my weight ranges between 97 to 107lbs. I have a TSH test level of 58.14 U/L. I am not sure but if the average levels are 0.3L to 4.0H, mine being at 58.14 concerns me alot. Why or How could it be so high? They say I have Hypothyroidism but, a results of it is weight gain...I have never weighed over 121 and that was when I was 9 1/2 monthes pregnant. I need some advice, that is all. Thanks
well, I am having female problems and I had told the doctor that I had previously been daignosed so he wanted a full report. Turn out I now have endometerosis and I am on a hormone replacement regimin. I am not sure if i was just miss diaognosed with hypothyriodism, it took the doctors over a year to find out that I don't have cancer I simply had edometerosis, I had to move to a completely different state after seeing 3 doctors in florida and them telling I needed chemotherapy. I decided to move back home to Texas where my sister-in-law works for a OBGYN office at Presbyterian Hospital and after a thin prep and sonogram they found that my issues where caused by endometerosis and they started my on Generess Fe which is a hormone replacement.

You should have your TSH test repeated and have free T3 and free T4 tested as well. Make sure that you request FREE T3 and FREE T4. These two test will tell you how much thyroid hormone is in your blood.
Although weight loss is more often a symptom of hypERthyroidism and weight gain a symptom of hypOthyroidism, they are not reliable symptoms of each. Many of our members find that they gain weight whenever levels are not optimal, hypo or hyper, and some lose weight hypo or hyper.
