Hey all. First post. Been lurking for a while. I followed a lot of Peats work 4 or 5 years ago, then got away from it all. I’ve been almost certain that I have had hypothyroid symptoms the last few years (cold hands/feet, extreme fatigue especially in the afternoons, very poor sleep, muscle weakness, dry skin etc etc). I’m a 29 year old male. I got my blood work done yesterday, because I’m desperate to get my health back. I’m a bit confused, as it’s indicating HYPERthyroid issues. Going back to see my doc next week, but needless to say I’m a bit concerned.
My TSH is 0.01.... RR(0.32-4.00)
Free T4 is 35 ..... RR(9-19)
Free T3 is 13.3.... RR(3.1-6.2)
My Prolactin is high at 13.8..... RR(4-19)
My Estradiol is hight at 135.... RR(<162)
My total Test is through the roof at 40.7..... RR(8.4- 28.8)
But free test is low at 248.... RR(196-636)
It appears my pituitary is working fine, as my LH and Test levels are normal. Based on this blood work, it looks as though I am hyperthyroid/Graves disease. Like I said, I feel more hypo, cold hands, fatigue, poor sleep etc etc. Clearly my TSH is being suppressed as my thyroid hormones are way above range. I’m really confused here, as I was about to start some desiccated thyroid, but I’ll definitely be holding off on that now. I plan to get more blood work does this week, and test for R-T3 and antibodies. Anyone have any input on this?
