hello,i am a 31 year old mother of 4 and a full time carer to my partner who has head injuries. a year ago my hair started to fall out so a thyroid function test was taken which showed i had a very high free T4 and T3 level and a NORMAL TSH level. i was referred to endocrinology who tested me for graves,hashimotos and a few other things, all tests were negative, i was discharged. i was re referred after 6 weeks due to losing 7 stone in weight and my blood test results still showing massive levels of T4 and T3 and still a normal TSH. the endocrinologist ordered a nuclear thyroid scan and an mri of my pituitary which both came back normal and so he has now discharged me again on the grounds that he is convinced i am manipulating my thyroid for attention. this is obviously very upsetting for me as i would never dream of doing something like that and my health is deteriorating
