What do you think of my thyroid hormone results?
After losing quite a lot of hair for 8 months I finally pushed for some blood tests suspecting a thyroid problem and discovered that my TSH was 4.2 U mL 0.3 3.0 U mL and my T4 level was 12 pmol L 10 23 pmol L . My doctor didn't seem very sure as to what course of action to follow as he described it as only slightly under active and decided that I should come back for a second blood test.I returned today for blood test number two and my doctor prescribed me 25 micrograms of Eltroxin and depending on the results of the blood test, I will have to take it.I was hoping to possibly get a second opinion from someone who might know a little more about it than me.I'll be 19 next month and I'm moving away to University next week so I'm wondering how it might have an effect on my day to day life.I'm a healthy weight, but I have found it slightly easier to gain a pound or two in recent months and a lot more difficult to lose it, I find myself being exhausted during the day for a few hours and then completely fine a while after without having consumed food and I've noticed my memory and concentration has gotten a little worse too simple words for day to day items seem to just vanish from my mind sometimes . However I don't have any signs of goitre.I was also wondering if anyone else had experienced a lot of hairloss at the same level of under activity I have?I've considered that I may have Hashimoto's but apparently here in Europe people are more likely to have Ord's Thyroiditis, which is similiar to Hashimoto's but instead of an enlarged thyroid, the thyroid shrinks. There isn't very much information online about it though. I want to get a thyroid antibody test to find out if I do have an autoimmune disease but I'm moving in a few days and I won't be able to see my doctor for another blood test until late October. I live in Ireland With that measurement for T4 I believe I'm 0.9My hair loss shows no signs of stopping and has gotten more severe in recent months, I'm afraid that If I postpone getting treatment, I'll end up with very little hair, It's already extremely thin.
