Perhaps it’s just my anxiety. Ugh..

Kimberly: My TSH is currently out of range.

.46 0.49-4.67

Although very slight.. I hope it warrants me some treatment. I’m going to see a new doctor tomorrow and request the conclusive TRab blood test and a cortisol saliva test.

Ah.. psychomotor is the correct term. Kimberly.. I’m afraid of going into psychosis soon. The agitation has been incomprehensible…Am I just worrying too much? My body feels very very light.

polishtym: And yes. No matter how stressed, depressed, or anxious I’ve been in the past, I’ve NEVER been like this.

I’ve actually been containing all the bodily stress and adrenaline for a very long time, and it’s been all spilling out these past few days. Lexapro is the only thing keeping grounded. My body feels very, very very, light (and heavy at the same time) and I can’t help but move around and keeping wanting to release energy somehow. I feel like my body is going to explode with adrenaline.

Is this dangerous at all? Sometimes my whole body will shake and I can’t contain all the energy. Very disturbing..

Thanks for the support and feedback =].

Endocrinologist said that I have no chance of having Graves’. Of course, from the moment he walked in the door he didn’t really seem to listen to me at all as well. This blows my mind. Wouldn’t having TSI in my blood be indicative that I would at least have SOME chance? Especially when I suspected Graves’ before testing the TSI.. I REALLY don’t think it is all a big coincidence. I admit that saying that I have no chance was a very bold statement and really made me feel like a hypochondriac.

But one thing is for certain, the symptoms are very real and there is no way that anxiety and stress are causing very extreme physical, mental, and cognitive symptoms very specific to thyroid conditions. And having TSI in my blood although it is not passed the 139 mark is NOT a coincidence. As well as the eye symptoms and slight protrusion of my eyes. The doctor took a quick look at my eyes and said “they look fine.” ….really? As if he knew what my eyes have looked like my entire life.

I am still not convinced and am still motivated to find someone who is willing to actually listen and take my symptoms seriously. I found this wonderful website of a place that is near me and am really hoping to find some answers there.

I also decided to invest in a thyrogluboluin and thyroid peroxidase blood test to rule out the possibility that I may be experiencing a hyperthyroid phase of Hashimitos. HEY it’s a possibility right? Not likely but if doctors won’t listen I need to take initiative myself. I don’t want to suffer for years of my life only to find out I’ve been overlooked later.

Thanks again for listening and the support.

I would suggest looking further into it. If you read my “Graves?” thread I am going through the exact same thing. My TSH and Free T3 levels are normal and my Free T4 is only sliiightly above “normal” range however I am also experiencing very severe Graves’ symptoms along with the eye symptoms as well.

My TSI levels were also in “normal” range. If you read my thread some of the other members and patients here have made some veery informative and helpful posts. =]

Guys. I’m really scared now. My TSI came back negative but I KNOW I have Graves’. My eyes are starting to bulge, my eyelids won’t open unless I try really hard, there’s a constant pressure in my eyes, and all the hyperthyroid symptoms have been happening for 6 months and getting worse and I never suspected Graves or hyperthyroidism until a couple weeks ago so I know it’s not anxiety. It’s just slowly getting worse.

But what are the chances I am one of those rare cases that TSI test couldn’t confirm it? Ugh.

I hope you guys believe me on this form. The fact that people with these diseases don’t receive sympathy is definitely the worst part.

What are the chances of my TSI test coming back normal if I do have Graves? I used the last of my money to order this test and took it today. If it comes back negative, my life is going to become a living nightmare. My entire family thinks I’m delusional because I was misdiagnosed with anxiety/depression/bipolar which I KNOW I’m not but my parents think I’m insane for challenging doctors and psychiatrist when thyroid patients are always misdiagnosed. My parents are constantly yelling at me and accusing me of being weak and paranoid.

Guys… I’m scared and desperate.. my symptoms are getting severe and I don’t have any family support. If this goes untreated I will be put on anti-depressants and bi-polar medication, and kicked out of both my parents house.

The emotional, cognitive effects are getting extreme as they can be and I can’t support myself. I can’t even function at ALL.

Ugh.
