As I kept going back to see doctors for various nervous conditions that could not be ( and are still not) explained, something really weird happened.
Between then -- around November 2014, when my first very scary symptoms began including tremors and vision issues and herniated discs and shaking and *really* fast potassium loss...
My TSH went from .0018 to .34.
I did not have graves disease or TPO antibodies. But somehow TSH output doubled for some reason that was not part of an "autoimmune" process.
I am wondering if I had a virus that caused this.
I am wondering if I was somehow poisoned with something like heavy metals or pesticides.
I had a botox injection in September, did it somehow get into my thyroid gland? This makes no sense actually, it would more likely *lower* TSH than raise it>
I am wondering if my "hot" thyroid nodule got irritated and blew a bunch of colloid.
I am wondering if when I got whiplash and herniated my c5/c6 that this irritated my thyroid, OR if I had some kind of brain event that joggled the HPA axis.
In regular Doctorland, this should be good news but I am extremely suspicious of this new development. I felt like a couple of things that were keeping me a bit safer healthwise were my rockin TSH and low iron levels. Now at .34 I'm wondering....how did it happen? What happened?
Any ideas, studies, experiences...anything? TSH doesn't just double output for no reason.
