Question 1

Only way to treat: hypothyoidism is with thyroid hormone, preferably synthroid (thyroxine) at a dose that normalizes Free T4 and TSH

Question 2

Not unlikely: Thyroid problems of various sorts may occur with lithium. Speak with your psychiatrist and primary physician (or endocrinologist) - be sure they are collaborating.

Question 3

i was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism. my tsh was 8.3 and i had classic hypothyroidism symptoms. didnt take replacement therapy because my tsh was lower than 10. months later tsh was 3.3 and i was still having symptoms. why was it low?

Accepted Answer

Sick thyroid syn.: Sick thyroid syndrome is becoming increasingly common and better described over the last decades. Usually a systemic disease, such as an infection is causing transient malfunction of the thyroid and  your description seems to fit the picture. Follow up with same doc is critical specifically if having lingering symptoms.

Question 4

detected with hashimotos hypothyroidism ,tsh4.67.doc see small nodules.is levothyroxine treatment enough? or need further evaluation/therapy?any risks

Accepted Answer

Hashimoto's: Hi. Your doc caught your Hashimoto's very early (the "subclinical" stage). I assume the diagnosis of Hash was based on thyroid autoantibodies(?). "Small nodules" need no further evaluation. Your l-thyroxine therapy will prevent you from becoming symptomatic from untreated Hashimoto's. Good luck!
