Can any one help, went to my doctor with hair loss, shakes, jiont pains, fatigue. She said she tested my thyroid and did CBC. I thought she did the whole thyroid panel but foound out today just did TSH.

She said I am low in iron which I am unsucessfully being treated for and my thyoid was fine.

I found today my TSH was 0.97 . T3 and T4 not done. Can I still be hyperthyroid?

I am cealic and have fibro.

Thanks in advance for you replys.

Your TSH result is within 'normal' range. However that test alone doesn't give the whole picture. TSH is not a thyroid hormone. It's produced by the pituitary gland to tell the thyroid to produce more T3 and T4 thyroid hormones. However, TSH can be normal while the thyroid hormones and thyroid antibodies (highly correlated with celiac disease) be abnormally low and high respectively. Ask your doc to order the complete panel of thyroid tests (free t3, free t4, TPOab (thyroid peroxidase antibodies), reverse t3 as well as TSH).

You actually want the TSI antibody test if you suspect Graves'.

I forgot to ask which symptom makes you think you're hyperthyroid? "Shakes"? The fatigue, hair loss and joint pain could also be hypothyroid, which is why I suggested more tests for hypothyroidism, especially Hashimoto's, which is correlated with celiac disease.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
