Surgery Postponed :(

I was supposed to have surgery on 6/19- with my pre-op diet starting today (6/12). I had a tsh thyroid test on Thursday of last week and the results came back horribleeeeeeeeee. They were at an all time low of 0.04 in April, so my PCP lowered the dose to 88 mcg and I retested to see where they were before surgery. Get ready, they came back at 47! No point in there; FOURTY SEVEN! So we upped it again and retested today. I am hoping it was a glitch, because it has never been that high and I have no symptoms. But the surgeon called today and said it was canceled until I can get it at 10 or below. And that is still high. If you pray, please pray it was a glitch and I can reschedule surgery. I am so disappointed :(

Praying for you! That must be a glitch. I have never heard of tsh that high. That reminds me I need to have my levels checked soon.

The TSH still came back extremely high, but better, at 28. So we are retesting in 2 weeks to see where we are. Hopefully it will be low enough for surgery. If we can't find a good dose, my PCP is referring me to an endocrinologist

Ugh. So sorry. I have hashimoto disease and my TSH numbers can be all over the place. Hoping they can get your levels right so you can proceed.
