Well...I thought I would come by and let everyone know that my continuing saga is continuing. After a few months with the endo, there were no conclusive actions taken. My numbers have not soildified themselves. TSH is low at 0.01, T4 is 1.3 (normal) and T3 is 4.2 (high end of range but ok). He tested another immunoglobulin/antibody and it is 27.6 and 16% higher than normal.
From the reading that I have done, to me, this looks like Grave's. The only possiblility is if the T3 continues and kicks over above the "normal level". Then my doc might do something. I don't know what else to do because my body has not committed itself, so it is making my life difficult to say the least. I do know that I have been becoming an insomniac and certainly more irritable, nervous, anxious..etc. Not until I stopped to think about it that it would be related to the thyroid. Oh joy. I have totally given up coffee. My exercise is not what it used to be. I'm lucky to walk for 4 miles these days. It's the high heart rate that scares me, so I don't want to push it . I hope that does not sound terrible. I want to be my normal self and be able to go exercise like I used to before I turned 40.
Good luck to those in all of your processes. Red, I'm glad your on meds. Hope it all works out for you.
That's my story at this point.
