Theories: Why did I Get Hypothyroid symptoms 18 years ago?

[Guest guest]

I will repost here what I posted in thr natral thyroid hormones adrenals group!

Original post:

I will not discuss Hypothyroidism from mercury in my tissue or hypothyroidism

from low iodine now. I know Hypothyroidism can appear from these two theories,

but I don't have any lab tests from my teens about this. So let's concentrate

about the other theories!

Browsing thru old bloodwork from 1997 and up...

I now know my TSH was 0.98 (0.10 - 5å mU/l) in February 1997, pre-T4 meds. (T4

was started in May 1997!) I was 19 years of age when I did my first

Thyroid/Vitamin D3 tests. FT4 was 12.5 (8 - 20 pmol/l) They didn't test FT3, but

they did test Total T3 which was 2.3 (0.8 - 2.7 nmol/l).

THEORY #1: Hypothyroidism from low Vitamin D?

Can a person become Hypothyroid JUST from having low Vitamin D status? I

remember I deliverately wore huge jackets and covered my body (ashamed of

puberty) and didn't Get any sun since age 13 (about the year 1991). My 25OH-Vit

D3 was 27* (30 - 110 nmol/l) and my 1,25OH2-Vit D was 46* (50 - 145 pmol/l).

THEORY #2: Hypothyroidism from getting Secondary Hypogonadism after that blow?

I did suffer from a HARD blow to the head around 1992 when I was about 14 years

old. It was H A R D !!!! My left side of the head just POW down into the rock

solid ice on the ground. I was hit by my buddy who was riding a sleigh. Bit then

again, could TSH, which was 0.98 at that first test, tide to 1.4 which it did

this summer when I quit ERFA Thyroid 2 grains daily, for 2 days? Could one see

TSH rise like that with Hypogonadism? Wouldn't 0.98 like it was in 1997 be the

limit?

Now, looking at sone other labs from 1997 before T4 treatment was started...

Sorry, I don't have the ranges!

Hormones April 1997:

S-CORT 209

D-GHNY <0.4

S-PRL 179

S-PTH 2.2

S-SHBG 9 (probably Same range as we use today! About 8 - 60 nmol/l)

S-TESTO 10.9 (probably same range as we use today! About 8 - 35 nmol/l)

All I ever heard from ENDO'S looking at the results above, my VERY FIRST

bloodwork ever, was that I was 100% healthy! Obviously, I was NOT, at 300 lbs,

got tachucardia (200+ bpm) in the nighttime, freezing a lot, being slow in my

mind, peeing " sand " (kidney stone symptom), even got some

BIG kidney stones made out of Calcium, etc.

It was pure luck that my mother read about a private specialist treating people

like me at that time. We quit the ENDO clinic at the public hospital and got T4

immediately from the other specialist. I lost 100 lbs over the next 12 months an

lived a decent life from 1998 til 2008 started, and all ell bruke loose when the

SAME ENDO's started removing my thyroid meds due to a high FT3 and a high stress

feelig in my body. And that's why I am writing in these groups now...

I need to figure out what happened to me back then!

I must add that my LH was as High as 7 about 4-5 years ago. Can I possibly have

hypogonadism with a FSH like that? I feel like I've seen what my vet can do on

optimal Thyroid alone, and I Wonder if I can heal perfectly with Thyroid meds

alone today! Why add Testo gel if FSH and LH can be great alone? They once were,

while on T4/T3 meds! (1997-2008) ONLY when Endos weened me down on those meds,

and I started HC, LH and FSH went down.
