Just received lab results with TSH of 31.8

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just joined this group as I was browsing through info on the

internet about hypothyroidism thanks to the lab results I just got

back. As I stated on the subject line my TSH came back at 31.8 and

my doctor ordered t3,t4, and thyroid uptake tests to follow up my

results.

In short I'm 31, I have always been an athlete, and for the past 6

months or so I've been tired, sleepy, generally out of energy, cold,

ad not feeling right. I contributede all of it to being lazy. I

didn't even know I was getting a thyroid test, as my nurse

practitioner ordered it as a part of my routine annual exam.

So, right now I feel pissed. I was hoping that the test result was a

mistake but after browsing around on the internet, I can't deny that

all my " symptoms " that I blamed myself on for all these months along

with the fact that for the first time in my life I had to fight to

keep weight off, all point to the fact that the results are probably

accurate.

So, I have a follow up on Thursday to get the results of the follow

up tests. I would apreciate any information on what questions to

ask, what tests to request, medication info etc. that anyone can give

me. Most of the web-sites are so matter of fact and general, that I

would love to hear feedback from others who have went through all

this...

Thank you,

Iina

Hi Iina,

Welcome to the group. Although, I am sorry you are having to deal with

disease. You probably can be considered lucky that your TSH was so

high because the doctor could not deny that you have hypoT. So many

people have to deal with that. So you will be able to get the medical

help you need.

One website, if you have not already heard about it is

stopthethyroidmadness.com. It has an incredible amount of info:

tests to ask for, supplements to take and also how to talk to your

doctor. That is just a very small idea of what is on this website.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to get educated about this

disease and the best ways to treat it. Many of the people on this list

use " natural thyroid " but you will have to decide for yourself what

might work for you. You may have to try one and then maybe another

before you know for sure what will work for you.

Keep us posted on what you find out. We would be interested to hear

what your doctor has to say and also what your test results were.

Good luck to you and know we are all here for you.
