So I've been dealing with bizarre health issues and couldn't figure out what was up but I stayed persistent and tried different tests for my blood work.
I have been extremely healthy nutrition/fasting wise and exercise wise yet my body has slowly built up symptoms which were/are scaring me and that my current health care team is not handling in a way I see fit.
I thought it was low testosterone because of my sex drive disappearing but my numbers were just lowish but within range. Now I'm thinking it's hypothyroidism as a couple more symptoms have "popped" up over the past few weeks.
Well, my blood work confirmed some things and also shocked me.
TSH- HIGH 4.23 mlU/L
TS3- LOW 2.9 pmol/L
Alanine Aminotransferase- HIGH 54 u/l
Creatine Kinase- EXTREMELY HIGH 623 u/l
Albumin- EXTREMELY LOW <5 mg/l
HDL Cholesterol- REALLY GOOD 2.02 mmol/L
Non HDL Cholesterol- IDEAL 2.60 mmol/L
LDL Cholesterol- OPTIMAL 2.40 mmol/L
Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol- IDEAL 2.3
Without having seen a doctor yet, from what I gather is yes there is a hypothyroid issue, liver and kidney issue, and muscle or heart issue. I did suspect hypodthryoidism, and knew from the bubbles in the pee I was having an issue with protein but the tests kinda have my mind blown away.
For anyone interested these are my symptoms:
-Eyesight more and more blurry
-Floaters in left eye (Eye doctor says my eyes look great)
-Puffy eyes
-Dark circles extremely dark now
-Dry fuzzy tongue at back of mouth, sort of numbness
-Faint heart beat (52-54 beats per min)
- LOTS of bubbles in urine
-Random Headaches
-Feel hyperglycemia most of the day
-Low sex drive
-Numbness/Tingles in hand/wrist/pinky/elbow/rhomboids
-Get cold pretty easy (I've noticed this for years)
-When I eat (keto diet, or high carbs, or junk, or low cals) I feel super tired and drained
-In the evening I cannot stop eating because I feel this unfamiliar need (not a want) to keep eating. It doesn't matter if it is healthy or junk it does not go away no matter how much I consume.
-I get random throbbing in the testicles one at a time that occurs randomly throughout the day and some days it doesn't happen.
-My breathing has slowed drastically and it feels hard to breathe.
-My mood swings have become uncontrollable, filled with rage to sadness that spiral out of my control.
-Weight loss has stopped
-My body has gone from 1.5 U of insulin per meal to bolusing multiple times totaling anywhere from 5-10 U at higher blood glucose levels.
-Feelings of vertigo or confusion
-Forgetting things. I was going to check my blood sugar so I needed to wash my hand, I went to get my meter and said to myself "wait did I wash my hands yet" I had no recollection of what I did for the past minute. The only reason I knew I washed my hands was because they were wet. Stuff like this
is frequenting much more often.
I thought it was important I share this with the community because I was on top of the world, on top of my game, the healthiest I'd ever been and then bam it was all snatched away just like that. Even though I persisted on continuing my routine it began to become harder to maintain and the consuming of food became uncontrollable.
I am in the process of getting referrals to try and see Dr Jason Fung or get into his clinic or another clinic in which he has trained other professionals so that a proper diagnoses can be done as well as further testing to identify the causes of everything.
