Suggest Treatment For Deranged TSH Level In Thyroid Profile
I'm 33 and have been dealing with right upper quadrant pain for a while. I had an ultrasound and Decida scan of my gall bladder and both were normal. I had an EGD and was diagnosed with IBS-C.
Now I'm experiencing severe hair loss/shedding and my hair looks very thin and brittle. I also have dry skin and thin eyebrows, which I had both for several years.
My doctor tested my TSH level last week and it is 3.9. In 2010, it was 2.49 and in 2009, it was 2.09. She doesn't want to treat my thyroid and I'm at a loss for what to do next.
