Trying to post Thyroid testing results...keeps jumbling up. Trying again



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


Some of my symptoms are: Muscle pain all over, drier skin 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 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).

Thanks for the info...the ANA thing can be very confusing and a little scary. The doctors keep telling me that women in general have antibodies anyway and that I have nothing to be worried about with such a low result and then a negative.  But when your feeling bad, it's hard to shake that maybe thats the answer.

Interesting.  I had a positive Rheumatoid Factor test when was 21/22, although never again showed with a positive result.  After 25+ years, it has finally been decided that one of two things occurred - 1) never had it and was a false positive; or 2) had RA but such a mild case it would be ludicrous.

Thank you!
I reposted a different way, without the greater than sign and it worked.

I had the same problem the other day...a couple of lines kept getting blown away out of one of my paragraphs...never had that happen before.  It seemed to have something to do with typing a greater-than sign, ">" that wasn't in either parentheses or quotes. Try typing any math signs in parens or quotes.  Not sure about that, but hope it helps.

I havt attempted numerous times to post my test results and they look fine when I type them out, but after I hit send they print out leaving out 1/2 the test results...I'm stumpted and can't get answers without it letting me post the accurate results.

What am I doing wrong?
