TSH levels
I recently had my thyroid tested because I have expericened a few of the symtoms such as weight loss(50lbs. in 5 months) tremors, hair loss, etc. I received my TSH level and it's 0.012. I was told to have the T3 and T4 tested. I did but haven't received them yet. What should I do? I have a son that is almost a year old and he was diagnoised with hypothyroidism at about five weeks old. Are they related somehow. Meaning could I have had hyperthyroidism causing him to have hypothroidism.Barbie32 (talk) 01:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're hyperhyroid due to Grave's disease, it is barely possible you had it when you were pregnant, and the antibodies crossed the placenta into your baby. But they go away a few months after birth and cause no lasting effect. It all depends on why YOU are hyperthyroid NOW (assuming you are, and if the lab test is right, you are). Probably you'll be getting an iodine scan to find out-- further hormone testing is not likely to tell you anything you don't already know. That said, you can't get good medical advice on Wikipedia, so go to your doc and, well... demand a scan and antibody test. :). S  B Harris 02:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
