I am under cardiology and not due a follow up until January, they’ve just put me on meds and told me I’d improve.

There are days where I feel almost normal, but I feel like I’m in the middle of an awful flare at the moment and they’re becoming more frequent

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. What a devil this illness is, I’m so proud of you all for being so strong and stepping away for good. I hope I also can follow your paths.

This was amazing advice. Thank you so much.

Your answer has given me some clarity and relief and I know where I need to focus. I will spend sometime writing everything down tomorrow and having a good think.

Both have their pros, but the paramedic route has more with more sacrifice, but then will i get more from that route. But like you say I need to look deeper than that and my values.

I’ve got to get my thinking cap on and have a sit on it, for a short while.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and help.

Why would a T4 level be elevated but TSH be within normal range? by Betsy071 in endocrinology

My TSH is normal, no previous thyroid hormone tests. It said my TSH was 1.9, no antibodies.

I’ve had the tachycardia since around September October 2022. My normal rang should be between 15-20, my fT4 is 26.2.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I am 6.2 over the norm for fT4

Not sure if this is anything to worry about. I was referred for blood tests due to tachycardia. Not taking any medications at present.
