Thyroid :: Raised Parathyroid And Calcium Levels - Low Vitamin D
I have had a raised parathyroid hormone blood result recently also a raised calcium in the blood result. I had raised calcium levels several years ago but after a scan of my parathyroid glands which showed no growths it was put down to lack of Vitamin D and called secondary parathyroidism
I was told to increase my Vitamin D levels which I did and my calcium level dropped. I have continued on the supplementation. I have severe sleep problems, am tired and grumpy, my hypothyroidism been under control for the last 8 years. I am borderline diabetic. Almost 73 years old.
Thyroid Disorders :: T4 Levels And Cortisol Levels Low?

I have been having symptoms of depression, fatigue, low libido and weight gain over the last few years. I am 50 and have gone through menopause. My latest lab results are:
TSH 1.064 (0.358-3.74)
Free T4 9.7 (9.8-18.8)
ferritin 16 (3-105)
B12 498 (156-672)

I am not taking any thyroid meds......only nexium and Cymbalta.
What do these results mean? Can someone give me some insight into the results please?
Thyroid Disorders :: When To Start Drugs According To TSH Levels ?
I have very recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I've taken the thyroid uptake scan and my dr. Office says it came back abnormal and enlarged thyroid.
According to my blood work my TSH is 0.227. (0.450-4.500)T4/free is 1.80 (0.82-1.77)
My question is should medication begin with these levels?
Pituitary Disorders :: High Prolactin But Normal Testosterone Levels?
I am a 27 year old male. For some time I've shown symptoms of a lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction but as I suffer from anxiety always attributed it as the cause. I had some blood tests done privately and my results showed a slightly raised prolactin level but my testosterone seems average.
TSH 0.70 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2)
Prolactin 397 mIU/L (86 - 324)
Testosterone 21.3 nmol/L (7.6 - 31.4)
SHBG 35 nmol/L (16 - 55)
The results seem to suggest Prolactinoma but a common side effect is low testosterone where my results prove otherwise. I'm afraid if I speak to my doctor he will tell me it is all in my head so I'm trying to make some sense of the results.
I guess the question I'm asking is is it possible to have raised Prolactin/Prolactinoma and normal looking testosterone levels?
Should I speak to my doctor anyway?

I've had Hashimoto's Disease for 12 years and started taking Levothyroxine. For the past 8 years, I've been on a constant dose, and been very happy with no symptoms of hyper or hypo. Recently I moved and had to go to a new dr, who is very upset about the low (almost zero) TSH even though my Free T3 and Free T4 were normal. She wants me to totally go off all Levothyroxine for 6-8 weeks to "reset" my pituitary. I am very worried about what will happen to me if I did this. I tried going down in dosage, but all my hypo symptoms (gained 10 lbs in a month, extreme lethargy, depression, etc.) returned. Anyone out there have any ideas on what to do?

View 6 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: TSH Low, Free T3 And T4 Normal Range
I am 37 years old and about 16 weeks pregnant. When I had my first set of prenatal labs, my TSH came back as low at 0.0643. They called me back in to do a thyroid panel, and I just got my results back which were TSH 0.092, free T3 3.6, and free T4 0.95. The nurse made note that T3 and T4 were in normal range, but TSH is "very low" and they referred me to maternal fetal medicine. The doctor's note says "may need small dose of Synthroid."
I am very confused now. Doesn't a low TSH mean HYPERthyroidism? And wouldn't Synthroid be for HYPOthyroidism? I am finding so much conflicting information online, and I have to wait until my appointment on the 21st to get an answer on all this. Of course, it's all making me very nervous. Can someone help explain or shed some light on my lab results as far as what they could mean? I was seeing that a lower-ish T4 and low TSH can actually indicate hypo, so I'm really confused now.

View 1 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: Normal To Retain Water While On Synthroid?
Is it normal to retain water while on Synthroid? I never experienced water retention before I began my Synthroid. Now that I am on Synthroid, I am retaining water pretty badly. I often wake up with swollen fingers and I tend to weigh 5 or 6 pounds more in the morning than I do in the evening. This is very out of character for me. Anything I can do to help alleviate this issue?
View 7 RepliesThyroid Disorders :: Elevated Free T3 With Normal TSH And Normal Free T4
My son had some blood work done due to chronic diarrhea among many other things (he's on the autism spectrum, ADD, sweetest kid ever-had to throw that in) and we were trying to rule out celiac and who knows what else. Anyway his TSH and Free T4 were normal, but his Free T3 was slightly high. We rechecked it 4 weeks later and it's still just slightly high, with the other numbers being normal. His doctor thinks we shouldn't worry and should just monitor, I'm just looking for any advice if anyone has seen this because I keep reading that typically Free T3 is high when TSH is low?

Thyroid Disorders :: Small Goiter And Nodule On The Left Side - Normal Tests
Just recently I was diagnosed with a small goiter & nodule on the left side. The doctor ordered all of the tests (TSH, T4 and TPO antibody level) and everything came back normal. The biopsy on the nodule is normal as well. Benign and no signs of cancer. My concern now is regarding my goiter & nodule. If my test results are all normal, what caused it to enlarge? What do I do to shrink it? My doctor will not give me anything because he said there's nothing wrong with my thyroid. The functions are normal. It just enlarges for a reason sometimes.

I'm a 19 year old male, I have been smoking for about 2 years now, like 4-10 cigarettes a day.
I had my testosterone levels checked and it was 911 ng/dL, which apparently is high.
Why aren't my erections fully hard as they used to be? And why do I feel my libido has dropped?
A Dr told me it takes longer for smoking to cause ED, and he told me the problem is all in my head.

I found out about 6 months ago that I have high prolactin levels. They have put me on 2 different medications to reduce the levels. The first one made me sick so they lowered the dose. I am still experiencing abdominal cramps when I take them and my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned about it.
