Is it my thyroid? But I'm a guy
Posted , 5 users are following.
It seems everything I Google regarding my symptoms, hypothyroidism comes up.
My symptoms include, cold hands, ice cold feet, not being able to handle cold weather AT ALL, cold one second, hot the next, fatigue, mood swings, etc. The only thing I don't have is weight gain, however, I'm only eating about 1800 calories a day for gastritis.
Went to the hospital to get my thyroid tested and my results were:
Thyroxine (T4) Free - 1.1
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - 1.02
Sent the results to my GI doctor, but haven't heard back yet. Plan to see him soon. Thoughts?

I'd suggest you see your doctor and have your testosterone checked. Diabetes, Lupus, Anemia and even some medications can cause your symptoms. Best of luck!

Hi, Chucky777. One thing I have found is this disease is not discriminating. I have known men who have this and they aren't much better off than the women. Also, there is so much that can be attributed to having it. I am hypothyroid and am taking Levothyroxine 137mcg. I recently was prescribed Liothyronine for additional problems I am having. I have had it for about 20 years and was unaware of all the symptoms. When providing test results, you probably need to include your ranges. Also, your T3 results and if you had your antibodies tested to rule out Hashimoto's. The above symptoms can also be cortisol-related as well as some other disorders (food allergies, etc). Yes, you need to discuss all this with your physician as you and he will have the last say as to what happens. I, too, am having severe hot and cold sweats, mood swings, fatigue, depression, etc. and that is with the medication. No weight gain is generally hyperthyroid-related. Take heart, you are not alone and this probably won't be solved overnight. I am still looking for answers and that is why I came back here. I have found this site provides some very reliable information and insight.
