Re: Thyroid Lab Result Confusion
How does your doctor interpret the high and low findings, and what does he or she have to say about the lump? What does he or she say about your symptoms? These are not things I would simply ignore. And the symptoms you mention are very much like symptoms I experienced as an untreated and then undertreated thyroid patient.
When it comes to thyroid issues, seemingly normal numbers can be quite misleading. In my case, I was treated with Synthroid for many years, seemingly with good blood test results but with many, many unresolved symptoms, before it became apparent that my body does not convert T4 into T3 (these are the two main thyroid hormones). As a result I now take dessicated thyroid, which contains both hormones. Most of my symptoms are now resolved.
