[December 2015]
This is when I began to notice a change
with the way I felt every day, more
noticably in the gym. I experienced unusal
fatigue, reduced endurance, and a reduced
tolerance for exercise.[April 25, 2016]
Took a trip to E.R. after working out legs for about 15 minutes.
Symptoms included:
* Intense fatigue
* Light-headed feeling
* Difficulty breathing
* Intense weakness
* A shocking/ tingling sensation thought entire body
(Prescribed Alprazolam for what was believed to be a
panic attack)[ September 11, 2017]
Asked PCP for a Lyme disease
panel, and results came back positive
Positive Results:
* IgG P66 Ab. - Present Abnormal
* IgG P58 Ab. - Present Abnormal
* IgG P41 Ab. - Present Abnormal
* IgM P41 Ab. - Present Abnormal
* IgM P39 Ab. - Present Abnormal
* IgM P23 Ab. - Present Abnormal[ May 14, 2016]
First ever blood work with PCP.
Test showed an underactive thyroid,
and doctor began treating me with
Levothyroxine 25 MCG.[August 12, 2016]
PCP tested blood to check my
Parathyroid hormone levels, since
I was still having symptoms and a
few labs showed an elevation in
calcium levels.
Blood tests were consitantly indicating a
high level of cholesterol, and was prescribed
40 MG of Atorvastatin.
(PTH Lab came back in the normal range)[November 23, 2016]
Took blood work with Endocrinologist,
and was told to check back in after 3 months.
Free T4 & Free T3 were in the normal range,
however, TSH was slightly elevated
at 5.960 uIU/mL.
Vitamin D was somewhat low at 29.4 ng/mL.
(I was told I may have Acute Thyroiditis, and
my thyroid will heal within 3-6 months time.)[December 5th, 2016]
Medication change from Levothyroxine to
Naturethroid after little to no improvment
of symptoms.[ June 9th, 2017]
After about 2 months of thyroid blood work
coming back normal, I was prescribed D- Amphetamine 10 MG
to help combat my symptoms. I actually saw an improvement in
energy for 1 day, but symptoms returned after that inital
day.
My thyroid levels normalized at 81.25 MG of Naturethroid. The
Naturethroid was an improvment from Levothyroxine, but I still
didn't feel back to normal. I also had my Vitamin B12 levels
tested, but the results were in the top end of normal.
