I see her every 2-3 weeks at the moment. I only mentioned the symptoms* that I know can be related to the disease I’m seeing her for. They apparently shouldn’t be near as bad, according to the results of my blood test (she usually calls me a few hours to a day after the appointment to tell me the results). So now I have yet another health issue to figure out, yay!
Anyone willing to bet whether I’ll be diagnosed as ‘stressed’ or ‘skinny young woman’ this time? Those were my diagnoses plenty of times when I described those symptoms. I’m not even a woman, so it comes with a little side dish of dysphoria.
*Light headedness and fainting to the point I don’t feel safe standing too long (though walking is fine), extreme night sweats, very high heart rate and very low blood pressure
Thyroid?
Yep that’s the known disease, autoimmune hyperthyroidism (graves disease)
It seemed alot of your symptoms could indicate that. Have you tsh levels been checked lately?
Yes, T3, T4 and TSH are being checked every 2-3 weeks. They’re off, but apparently not far enough to explain my symptoms.
