Can There Be Difference In Thyroid Test?

I have two doctors fighting over my thyorid results my artritis doc ran blood tests and my thryoid is at 2.64 which is elevated but my primary says it's normal. I am on remicaid for RH and take metrotrexate. I feel like I'm caught in the middle bewtween the two docs. My hair is falling out, I've gained a ton of weight everything hurts and no one is listening to me. I've had thyroid issues before. I'm extremely frustrated.Any ideas?

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
If are mentioning your TSH value then it is within the limits. But Your complete report of thyroid function test is required to comment on the condition. Your hair fall may be associated with ongoing methotrexate. Weight gain can be due to problem in thyroid gland. Can help you out with your condition if i can see all of your test reports and medicines you are taking other than these two.


Let me know if you have any further questions.

Wish you a good health.
