Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hello, My name is Deanna and I've just recently been tested for thyroid disorders. My TSH came back at 3.5 which the doctor said was normal. I'd been having a sensation of a lump in my throat for over a year and he sent me into get an ultrasound which came back showing only a 5 mm lump on my thyroid....not big enought to be felt. So I persisted for more testing and got a possitive antibodies test. The doctor did nothing until a few more weeks went by while I'm waiting to see an ear nose and throat doctor. I'm just exhausted and suffering pain and have been for years and decided I didn't want to wait any more and went back to the doctor with a list of symptoms as such. Fibromyalgia chronic diarrhea, which has turned to constipation in the last month massive hair loss extreme fatigue thick tongue sensation extreme craving for salt chest pain numbness and tingling in arms and hands muscle weakness periods are regularly a week or more late severe mid cycle pain that causes me to vomit bizarre memory loss mental fog irritiability etc etc........ So he decided to run my labs one more time and when those results come back this week he his starting me on thyroid medication. My question is........is it always hashimoto's if you have antibodies? My doctor said that hashimotos is testing positive for antibodies but having hyper and hypo fluctuations........since I ony have hypo he said it's not hashimoto's but it seems the book I'm reading on the subject says it is hashimoto's. love, Deanna .. ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
