Symptomatic with elevated antibodies with TSH 2.23
I have a history of ‘flares’ of something lol it was unknown for years, but after my most recent in January I had an MRI that asked for review of my thyroid. Turns out ultrasound showed it was mildly enlarged and heterogenous.
The most recent flare:
• I had a period of daily migraines for 2.5 weeks that cause intense eye pressure/pain and additional symptoms that came with the headaches, but lasted a few more weeks after (similar to previous flares, but the eye pain/pressure was new): numbness in face, legs, arms, tinnitus, brain fog, fatigue. I was ruled out for MS and then went to a rheumatologist who did test these.
Ongoing symptoms I was having before/after:
- fatigue that some days I can’t stay awake all day even after improved sleep habits and increased sleep. (Doctors have ordered sleep study)
- numbness coming and going especially in toes (EMG confirmed sensory neuropathy)
- edema in legs and face (I was on wegovy and I had to stop for 3 weeks and my face and eyes blew up classic moon face presentation)
- hair loss before GLP1, dry skin
- joint pain especially in my hands
Do those flares seem to correlate with something anyone else has experienced with this?
I’m still waiting for half my other autoimmune results and my brain MRI showed minimal signs of possible increased intracranial pressure, but neurologist isn’t convinced enough about that.
**I don’t have T4/T3 labs yet, but I am working on getting those. I have had 110 issues with my PCP who didn’t even have concerns for my face doubling in size in 2 months let alone order correct labs lol
I am also on vitamin d supplements do not worry, but I added that too because I know that can affect fatigue and joints too
