I had around 7 tests for TSH, T3, T4. Four (4) of those returned some abnormal ackward results:From what I've read, if one number is high then the other should be low (sorry can't remember which one should be high and low etc). Well mine didn't have that logic, the 2 numbers were borderline/abnormal low. Sorry I can't give you number since I don't have copies of those test.
After 4 of those abnormal test, which docs confirmed me they dont know how to interpret those ("doesn't make sense"), OF THOSE DOCS NO ONE WANTED TO CHECK FURTHER.. without any symptoms or health problem, it would have been just plain stupid, but at which level could it be stupid when you consider this:
I'm 27. I have depression, anxiety, low energy, bad memory, low concentration, all kinds of rare side effects on meds, low-self esteem, etc.
(low blood platelet, gallstones, high liver enzyme.. guess it's not pertinent).. and I've been diagnosed 'Possible Bipolar type 2' because I had some hypomania on the first antidepressant I've tried (Paxil 60mg).My Pdoc send me see a very respected Psychiatrist
who is specialized in patient not responding to usual meds/combo (tried ~20+ meds) .. I'd like to have a chat about this, and that why I would appreciate any idea or thought.Anyone knowing Thyroid problems or thyroid meds augmentation ?

There is some research that found possible links between bipolar disorder.
