I went to the doctor because I have been feeling foggy, tired, headachy, ALWAYS freezing cold and very irritable at work and around other people. The part that had me rushing to the doc was the fact that I woke up one morning and the hair on top of my head had turned crinkly and wiry out of nowhere! It also began to fall out over the next few days. Every morning I wake up with MORE crinkly hair and it's a huge bummer.
We agreed a TSH test was in order, he looked at my crinkly hair and it was the first thing out of his mouth.
So I get my lab results and my TSH is at 5.3, the high end of the test states 5.5 (which means it would be "flagged" at 5.5 as a problem)
I think 5.3 is a bit too close to "high". So... I talk with the doctor and he says ALL of my tests came back within normal range (I also had a platelet test that was flagged at 407! waiting on his reply for that)
Anyone think the TSH is high and what should I do about this? I like my doc, but I feel he's wrong on this one.
