TSH: 7.93 2 weeks ago but now 2.50 (was 3.95 back on 717/15)
T4, Free: 1.20 and now 1.23
Anti-TPO antibodies: 240.6 and now 226.2
Thyroglobulin: 9.4 now 8.5
My mom has a thyroid issue (which she just told me about I shared with her my test results 2 weeks ago) so there may be a genetic link. But how does a TSH go from 3.95 (in 2015) to 7.93 and then 2.50?
My doc wants me to wait 6 months now and then re-test again. Should I be more aggressive and visit an endocrinologist? I chalked up all my symptoms to being older (e.g., gaining weight, irregular menstrual cycles, joint/muscle achiness/sensitivity, fatigue, running cold more than I used to, etc.).
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!
