I just got my thyroid lab back, which was tested twice bc the first time the results were "higher than they've ever seen before" and the second lab result said the same thing. It's supposed to be in between a 0-4, and I was 59 and 56. So the anesthesiologist won't put me under. I have been taking my thyroid medication for months ... Last time it was maybe 24 ....I've been feeling so much better since I started taking my medicine (used to sleep 18 hrs a day) so I don't see how my numbers could be possible! Now I have to wait for my thyroid to get back to normal which could take an infinite amount of time! The medicine usually takes up to 6 weeks to even change anything.

I'm just a teensy upset right now. Like sobbing.

My surgery was supposed to be next Tuesday.

So sorry, praying for you

@ Have they tested you for hashimoto's?

Btw - sorry about your surgery being postponed!

Sorry to hear that, but for your safety everything has to be just right. I know it's a hard pill to swallow but it just isn't the right time at this exact moment. Keep on preparing and doing everything you can. Keep you're eye on the ball and you'll get there!

What's that?

It's an autoimmune disease that hypothyroidism is associated with. The other thing is - Biotin can increase TSH levels.

I have been taking 2 Multivitamins a day, but Biotin is only at 10% daily value... I just don't get it because I don't have any symptoms ... And I know the symptoms

Try a different lab. My friend's tsh goes crazy high but she knows it by symptoms.
