Hormones Update 2

I got my results from all my blood work yesterday and the OBGYN Dr. told me they were ā€œnormalā€. So, I asked what the numbers where. It turns out my TSH was .65 the normal range is .5-5.0. Meaning Iā€™m about 1/10th above the normal number for my thyroid. So I did a little research. Went to see my GP with my concern and he agrees I have so many symptoms of hyperthyroidism. I have an apt. to see an Endocrinologist in two weeks for more testing. This could definitely be a contributing factor to MAV. I go see Dr. Adkins at Duke tomorrow and I canā€™t wait to hear what she thinks about this.
Lesson learned: Always ask for your numbers when you get blood results!!!
I am praying this may be my answer as hyperthyroidism causes migraines. I went on a forum for this and found so many other women and men with this same problems with ā€œrocking vertigoā€. The endo is going to check my TSH 3 and TSH 4 I believe along with antibodies? Lord I pray this is the answer. I just hope thereā€™s not something terribly wrong with my thyroid and itā€™s just ā€œoffā€ from having my last baby.

Yes, I always ask for a copy of my lab results now. You should have them send you a copy to bring with you to your endo appointmentā€“although Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll include one with the referral, but you never know! As Iā€™m sure youā€™re finding, you canā€™t assume anything with doctors :slight_smile:

Lab numbers always have ranges, and just because you are in the range doesnā€™t mean you canā€™t be symptomatic if you are in the low or high end of normal. Glad you got your referral and get get it checked out more thoroughly.

Thank you! I agree sometimes I wonder about Dr.'sā€¦
