Hello Y'all,
So I have quite a story. Last April 19th I was on the phone and felt really weird. I went in to sit on the bed and tell my husband that I thought I was having a stroke. It felt like I had been shot in the head, and I knew any minute I was going to black out and possibly die, yes really! It was terrifying. Long story short I had an aneurysm in my brain. I was rushed to UCLA and they did a 7 hour "coiling" technique where they put platinum coil wire into the aneurysm and the blood coagulates on the wire, stopping the bleeding. I was in ICU for a month, and they tested me 4 times a day to see what physical damage I suffered. Thank goodness I only suffered from memory, short term stuff...BUT with all of the Cat Scans I recieved to my head I think it set off thyroid problems for me. I have lost half my hair, aches, fibromyalgia like pain, so many symptoms. I ate nothing for a month, a few oranges and some yogurt, and really lost only a few pounds. I am on Medical pending now because of a bill that is almost 1 million dollars, no I was without work when it happened so had no insurance.I went to a free clinic to tell them of my symptoms and they did a test on me.I have no idea what it means and wanted to see if anyone knew here
TSH 3rd generation........0.50
T4 Free 1.3
T3 Total 108
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 1000
I am sufferering greatly with all of the typical symptoms, any help or insight you can give me would be great...
Luvs, Deb
