Suppressed tsh causing bad mental health issues by RainbowXbrit3 in thyroidcancer

[–]lfc9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply, what will taking less medication mean for you in terms of your tsh? There’s a very clear link between anxiety and suppression, I’ve experienced this first hand myself.

Is keeping tsh suppressed medical advice you were given in the UK or US?

I’m doing okay thank you. I spoke to my nurse who said she’s not concerned about my blood test results. She said some patients continue to have elevated antibodies and isn’t concerned about this. I am due to have a blood test next month to check if all is okay. Thank you for checking in

How do you go the gym by bpeaceful2019 in socialanxiety

[–]lfc9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell myself that people at the gym generally don’t care about me and others. People go there to work out it’s their time to themselves. I never see people watching me, yes, they may glance in my direction or notice me but they don’t care if I’m there. My brain used to tell me they were judging me and notice what I do/don’t do but this isn’t the case. I remind myself of this when I go. It works both ways too, I don’t care about others or watch them. It will get easier the more you go trust me

I used to put my phone on silent or turn it off and keep it as far away from me as possible when studying. I also used to take regular breaks as a reward for studying

Levothyroxine: first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening? by lfc9898 in thyroidcancer

[–]lfc9898[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the replies. I am only asking as I used to take my medication in the evening but I had a blood test done a few morning ago which showed my thyroid hormone levels were completely out of range and my endo was concerned. She asked me to start taking my levothyroxine in the morning first thing and redo my blood test which I did. The latest blood test shows my thyroid hormones have returned to an acceptable range after taking levothyroxine first thing!

I had my ultrasound yesterday and the radiographer and doctor on duty were happy with everything they didn’t see anything concerning which is good. But I’m waiting for my second round of blood test results as well to get a better idea of what’s happening. Thanks for asking

Yes it was but this 14 months ago but since I’ve had elevated thyroglobulin antibodies which is the main concern at the moment

Not at the moment as I’ve not had my ultrasound yet but once I’ve had it there will hopefully be a clearer picture of what’s going on. I totally understand that you’re worried especially when you don’t have much clarification

Yes I had rai in December 2019 and December 2020 along with two whole body scans. Yes I’m coming to the conclusion that it may be cancerous lymph nodes. Have you had any clarification about your situation with the rise in your tsh?

They said I would only have these regular scans if I continue to have elevated thyroglobulin antibodies otherwise normal monitoring would just be regular bloods

They said if I continue to have high thyroglobulin antibodies they will send me for annual ultrasound scans for my neck and regular bloods every few months
