Hello
Wondering if anyone here knows anything about Thyroid disease and autoimmune thryroid problems.
My GP mentioned Hashimotos as there is a history of autoimmune disorders in my immediate and wider famil such as MS,diabetes type 1, hypothyroidism, heart disease
However he is not willing to say it could be this as he wants to see the levels much lower to say it is something more serious.
I am 25 years old and my TSH is 9.12 and my Free T4 Is 15.1.
Can anyone interpret these results? I am also very very slightly anemic. I take a b complex vit every day have been for 6 mos so not sure if this is affecting results.
My gp is unwilling to medicate so I'm assuming that it's nothing too major or should I push for more tests?
My symptoms are gastrointestinal and tiredness and extremely painful heavy periods! Obviously im not looking for it to be anything that needs treamtment and would like to avoid taking thyroid medicine but also if it is causing my symptoms i would like to sort it. Thanks for any help
