[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 454073, member: 1233"] I am voting thyroid, infection, or some type of RSD symptoms from the accident. once your nerves get all messed up you get all sorts of truly bizarre things happening. Don't just have them check the basic thyroid levels. have them check the thyroid hormone levels and also have them check the anti thyroid antibodies. real name for the test is anti-TPO, meaning thyroperoxidase antibodies. This tests for antibodies attacking the thyroid. There are other tests also - this link explains them fairly clearly: [url]http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/thyroid-antibodies/tab/test[/url] My docs were shocked at the results of my anti-TPO tests because levels were so many thousands of times higher than normal. What it all means is that my immune system has killed my thyroid. This is the BESTEST autoimmune disease because the thyroid replacement medications work so well once you find the right dose. Most people are fine with the artificial thyroid -synthroid is the brand name. It is on the $4 medication lists at every store that has them. SOME people don't respond and they are changed to Armour Thyroid, which is a natural version.

Most of the time they just check the thyroid levels, just how much you have in your blood. Given the accident and all the immune system reaction to such a traumatic injury, I would at least ask for the other tests to be run. [/QUOTE]
