Hello, my name is Rick. I'm a 44 yr old male. Been very fatigued, chills in my extremities, gaining weight with not eating much, and anxiety which I have anyway. Had blood work done and results came back for abnormal levels. 4.3 dr said. He wants to wait 3 more weeks for another test to rule out false result. Question is should I wait and tolerate these symptoms or seek second opinion. Had symptoms about 5 months. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in adavance

Do you reside in the UK?
What blood tests did the dr order?
Have you got all the results.
Have you had a temperature recently?
Kind regards
Jean

it is difficult to say at this stage what is exactly wrong. It depends on how long your signs and symptoms have been present. You may have an infection. The dr can easily check for an infection by doing inflammatory markers such as esr and crp.
I would ask that your antibodies be checked for example for anas, another test is called the glucose tolerance test, randon blood sugar tests are not very useful. If you can buy a relatively inexensive self testing blood sugar kit . Here in England you could purchase one for around fifteen pounds - 30 dollars.Blood sugars are usuaally done on a regular basis.
Do you have any peripheral neuropathy or burning sensations in your legs? Another cause of your signs and ssymptoms could be due to the side effects of statins, ntibiotics, etc etc. See Floxiehope. Jean

My TSH is 0.17, T4 is 16.5 TPOA less than 33. I have multinodular goitre.
I have the signs and symptoms of hyopthyroidism plus peripheral neuropathy.
Are you saying that because my tsh is not 10 that I will not be treated?
Jean.

Just going through my old e mails etc.
Hope you don't mind my sending you this . I have been diagnosed with sub clinical hypertyhroidism and wondered what the treatment for this is in your neck of the woods?

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing these horrible signs and symptoms.
Is your dr willing to be persuaded to repeat your tests?
If not what will you do?
Have you got a multinodular goitre?

Have you had a scan to exclude a multinodular goitre?
I think you need to get copies of your blood reports.
Hope you do not mind my asking.
