Was diagnosed wih very high tsh
I was diagnosed wig very high TSH of 400 in December.
I used to feel cold, and also has some breathing issues which I thought were due to my nasal allergies. They are all fine now and my thyroid is controlled.
But when I started the medication, it went straight from 400 to 0.02 and doctor reduced my dosage. I started feeling trembling in hands and lost a lot of weight during that time.
Now my tsh is stabilized.
But I wonder sometimes, has it caused any permanent damage in my body? Internet shows so many side effects of untreated hypothyroid.
Has anyone seen such high levels in their clinical practice? Or I am the only unfortunate person.
