Jeanie a TSH of 0.01 would mean my thyroid is hyperactive. It is reverse with the TSH. Now it could also mean that my pituitary has finally stopped working. Might be more logical to me. The TSH is actually a pituitary hormone.
I had my other doctor (not the PCP) send me a new blood work paper with FT3, FT4, TSH and all of the thyroid antibodies to get a clearer picture.
I'm pretty frustrated at the moment. The stupid PCP wanted me to irradiate my thyroid to see whats wrong... Meanwhile my T4 was NORMAL. If I were truly hyperthyroid then my T4 should have been through the roof. Thank goodness my other natural doctor agreed that it may simply be a lab error. 2 months ago I had my TSH checked and it was 1.077 I'm going to go to a completely different hospital to get this done. Just to rule out any problems. Better to be safe.
If it still comes back crazy hyper, then I'll be getting a ultrasound to see what is going on. My God I hope it isn't a tumor or something. I refuse to get the radioactive iodine uptake test. The funny thing is, is that I don't have any hyper symptoms. From what I have read, if you have a hyper thyroid you feel very jittery, nervous and hot. My basal temps have been falling ever since discontinuing the iodine last month! Daytime temperatures aren't even hitting 98 degrees now.
I have not taken any autoimmune stuff. You know speaking of autoimmune problems, my hair is really doing well. The one spot is almost completely filled in with hair! There is still a lot more to go on the large spot on my left side. However it's looking so much better now. I need to take a new picture of it.
