Help understanding test results
| Thu, 10-07-2004 - 2:25pm |
Hi everyone - I posted here a couple of months ago suspecting that I'm hyperthyroid...I've been tested almost every year for the last 7-8 years. My recent test results came back w/ a TSH of .7 & T4 at 1.4. These are within what they call 'normal', however I think they're borderline. I suffer from many of the symptopms of hyperthyroidism & was referred by my eye doctor a couple of years ago for a test (my eyes are starting to bulge), which came out about the same as this recent one. In pictures especially my eyes look really freakish - I have a a big, glossy-eyed stare! No doctor seems to want to take this seriously, which is really frustrating!

Here is some info one of the cl's posted in response to another question...maybe it will help you too!

I'm sure you will get more information from other posters as well. (I'm at work or I'd probably ramble on and on! LOL!)

However I believe you can still have the Graves antibodies which may give you the eye probelms associated with Graves. Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies??
If not, I think you should.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I'm sure some others will help!
