Hi,
Saw PCP last November, hypERthyroid symptoms (weight loss), TSH came back over 30, was put on 25mcg levothyroxine.
I always get the Lannet brand.
Came back beginning of January, TSH was 6.8 and T4 was 1.19. Upped to 50mcg.
Saw endo in march, he said I should try 25 mcg again. 6 weeks later, my TSH is through the roof (higher than before treatment). Endo did an ultrasound and said I have hashimotos (did not test for antibodies or perform biopsy. Said that he can tell because thyroid tissue isn't homogenous texture so immune system is attacking it).
Was I close to a myxedemic coma? Should I ask about T3? Seeing endo again this afternoon--I had the results faxed to me this morning from the lab and am surprised my TSH is so high(352.1 uIU/mL, 0.56ng/dL free T4). I feel like garbage and have nipple discharge which is new. 20yoFemale
