Hi everyone! Sorry if this isn't the right sub for this, but I feel like I'm going INSANE and I don't trust my PCP, so I am hoping to get some ideas of things I can propose to her to get her to either believe me or send me to an endo (long story, nonsense health insurance, and a PCP shortage in my area means I am stuck with this Dr for a bit).
28F. I just got some blood work results back after my dentist found what may be a nodule on my thyroid, and I have been experiencing some pretty gnarly hyPO symptoms: weight gain (about 20lbs in three months), fatigue, and brain fog.
However, my TSH was really low (.02) and T3 was high (4.6). From my little googling, this points to a HYPER problem.
I'm on the list for an ultrasound later this month, but frankly I dont know if there is another explanation for the symptoms not matching up with the diagnosis.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there another test I should insist I get done?
Thank you in advance - I am pretty lost with all of this, so anything to check for or ask about would be appreciated!!
