Today I have started week 20 of 24. After week 13 the thyroid test results were as under
TSH 5.64 Normal 0.5 to 7.0
T3 2.10 Normal 1.08 to 3.14
T4 118 Normal 59-135
I was told sub clinical hypo problem on thyroid forum. Doc on the thyroid forum said that modern lab standard for TSH is 0.3 to 3.0. Value between 3.0 to 10.00 is considered sub clinical hypothyroid and above 10 is considered hypothyroid. He said that you should treat you thyroid so that it could not convert from sub clinical hypothyroid to hypothyroid. He also said to check Free T3, Free T4 and antibodies. I talked to my GI and he said that nothing is wrong all the figures are in normal range. Normal is Normal. He has not asked for further test again. I m extremely fatigued, weaken, light headed and feel very bad like im dying. I feel very tired particularly legs and back of the neck area. When I go to sleep my BP goes too down. Im also facing numbness problem in arms. Some times I have to sit during walking because I feel im falling. i have lost a very little hair. You can say my hair are thin than before tx. My question is should i treat my thyroid and check it once again or not??? My symptoms are so similar with interferon sx that it is hard to diagnose whether it is due to thyroid or interferon. Why Lab showed normal range 0.5 to 7.0??? Are they not update. Im confused. I m taking macobalamin with doc advice which is helping very little.
