Even with 4 different doctors doing the tests. I paid really close attention because I swore I had all the symptoms of going into early Menopause and my gyno and regular doc thought for sure I had problems with my thyroid as well. Just when docs think they know what was wrong, they'd get the tests back and be shocked that everything was normal. I'm good like that.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05822406480703071202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3796999193012621528.post-81500838324871289082012-01-20T07:39:58.264-06:002012-01-20T07:39:58.264-06:00I'm reading through your symptoms and all I ca...I'm reading through your symptoms and all I can think of is "thyroid, thyroid, thyroid." It can cause insomnia, too. Have the doctor test yours... but ask him to specifically test the TSH, the FT4 and for thyroid antibodies AND make sure he gives you a copy of the results because there seems to be no common ground between labs/doctors on the results.<br /><br />From all my recent research, a good doctor will want your TSH around 1 or 2 (even though the normal range is anywhere from 0.3-3.0 or 0.5-5.0, depending on the lab) and your FT4 around 1.1 (even though the normal range is 0.8-1.8) If you have a low normal FT4 and a high normal TSH, it points to hypothyroidism, which can cause all of those symptoms.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721581459131697651noreply@blogger.com
