thyroid/chronic headaches/ seizures, need some help what to do, believe....

i had one doctor tell me that it is odd that my thyroid levles keep going from over sctive to under active after raditation therapy, and i just almost one month ago have another doctor tell me that it is normal, my question is which doctor is right? i had the radition therapy, in 2009, and now are having seizures, that the doctor at the local hospital said are caused by a combation of my thyroid levles not ever being stable long enought for my body to adapt, and my daily chronic headaches. so please any advise will be helpful.

my last thyroid test was this tsh was 0.07 and the range according to my doctor is .34 -5.60 which was consider low and the free t4 was 1.48 and the ranger according to my doctor is 0.61 - 1.12 so my t4 was high. and that was done the end of june.i dont ever see that my doctor has ever ran a free t3 test on me at all. does she have to run the t3 test? how important is that test when i comes to your thyroid?

Along with symptoms, what are your current thyroid hormone levels?  You should be getting tested for the actual thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4, as well as TSH, which is a pituitary hormone and DOES fluctuate greatly, even intraday.

Please post whatever thyroid test results you have, and be sure to include the reference ranges, since these vary lab to lab and must come from your own report.

Are there any other symptoms that you notice besides seizures? They can be caused by many medical conditions. Also, when the thyroid isn't funtioning, nothing else will function normally so, your levels have to be right for you!
