Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm not too good at reading this stuff but this was the results of my lab work. Thyroglobulin Antibodies out of range 49H reference range <20 IU/mL Thyroid Peroxidase out of range >1000 H reference range <35 IU?mL Antibodies Written Hashimoto's Thyroiditis T-4 FREE In range 0.9 reference range 0.8-1.8 ng/dL TSH, 3rd Generation out of range 0.01 reference range mIU/L >or = 20 tears: 0.40-4.50 Written subclinical hyperthyroidism Everything else was a CBC and a Basic Metabolic Panel and all was in normal ranges. When I talked with her Wednesday she said that none of my electrolytes were off so there was no reason for the intense muscle spasms. I cannot live my life with these spasms and I don't think they understand. I cannot go to the grocery store, clean my house, take care of my kids or even shower without excruciating muscle spasms so I have stopped taking the PTU as of Tuesday night. Today, my doctor finally decided to try a different muscle relaxer but I can't get it filled for another 5 days due to insurance won't allow it as it'll overlap the 30 days from my last prescription. I don't even know the name of it. If it helps control the spasms, I will resume taking the PTU. The level of the spasms has already decreased by about 1/4th of what I'd been having the past couple of weeks already even though they say the PTU can't cause that. Bull. If someone could explain any of this to me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Lora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
