Many thyroid symptoms. In addition, tsh 2.7, ft4 1, t3ru 18. 5 nodules under 2 cm found. Cortisol pm was not high cortisol early am 22 zscore: 1.7 platelet ct: 454 mch: 26.5 calcium: 8.4 non-hdl: 144 hdl: cholesterol: 59 total cholesterol: 203 ldl cholesterol: 120 antibodies 1 - green I know some of these are borderline or low. But, I am tired of all these symptoms. They began after an accident I was in 6 years ago, after prednisone treatment and seemed to flare after steroidal shots due to 3 fractures in cervical spine. In the matter of a year I gained 90lbs. Even though I only stopped working out for a month after the accident and didn?t stop maintaining the low calorie intake 1200-1400 calories a day. By flaring I mean there was 6 months I could not stand on my feet and walk 10 ft without feeling fire in my calves which a doctor attributed to water retention. After that, I received the steroid shots in my cervical spine and experiences extreme inflammation. I was given meloxicam to take as the inflammation is worse at night. So much so I cannot sleep. Weight gain which with calorie intake of 1200, juicing, and keto does?t help. I?m even add med that is suppose to help for weight loss as well which my doctor was hopeful for me to try but, does?t do much but help me focus which is still a good thing. I exercise 5 days cardio and weight intervals for an hour. I currently keep carbs as low as possible. Rarely eat bread or anything with preservatives or sugar. I do have fresh fruit on occasion. On the days that I can I wake up very early. For the last 3 years until a switch to a bp indicated for heavy bleeding, I experienced major amenorrhea which was also left unexplained. This are the major incidents I can think of aside from the typical hypothyroid symptoms. Might I i benefit from hypothyroid treatment perhaps? Your opinion is appreciated. I?ve felt miserable for half of my youngest sons life and I need help.

Dear lybrate-user, you probably do not have hypothyroidism as your symptoms are non specific and your free t4 and tsh are normal. Your weight gain is probably related to the total cessation of physical activity after 6 months and the steroid injections but now that you are not on steroids that does not explain why you remain so overweight. The 8 am cortisol of 22 ug/dl is just above normal. You need to do a dexamethasone suppression test to rule out over-activity of adrenal glands. You need a detailed evaluation to sort out your problems
