I'm 45 years old, I have low TSH for almost 10 years now but was asymptomatic.  Last fall I started having symptoms so I went to see my family doctor and I saw my endo beginning of February and she sent me for some blood work. 

Here the results of some of my tests:

TSH .55 range .32-4 mIU/L

FT3 4.6 range 3.1-6.2 pmol/L

RT3 20 range 8-25 ng/dL

FT4 12 range 9-19 pmol/L

Prolactin 28.2 range 5.0-27 ug/L

cortisol am 457 range 135-537 nmol/L

transglutaminase Ab IgA negative

endomysial antibodies negative

nuclear antibody positive

vitamin b12 493 range 138-652 pmol/L

ferritin 31 range 5-272 ug/L

My symptoms include:

heart palpitations

headaches

tremors

hair loss

low blood pressure

cold intolerance

difficulty concentrating

brain fog

fatigue

joint and muscle pain/weakness

depression

mood swings

irritability

bowel changes

low libido

dry skin and sometimes itchy

eyebrowns at the outer edge are non existent

Can anyone help me?

      I'm a nail biter and I have a rancid taste on my nails and skin around my nails. Tastes like a metalic/dirty dish cloth taste. Sorry don't know how else to describe it!

    I'd reply, but this website keeps crashing.

    Your symptoms with low end thyroxins and high end rT3 could indicate hypothyroidism caused by heavy metal toxicity.
