i know i'm borderline for hyperthyroidism....... i eat like a pig and loose weight.... good thing, yes! healthy, probably not...... my med insurance doesn't kick in till may..... if i keep on like this, will i be ok? the dizzy spells haven't made me faint yet.... but they are getting less frequent, longer, and more intense.......... i don't know what to do to ease this up..... i'm not on meds b/c last time i was on insurance, my thyroid read .07.... doc said it had to be a .05 for me to be medicated...... well, it feels low now! because i feel like poo...... i'm sure i'll live, lol.... i'm just not very comfortable..... suggestions? warnings?

i've noticed it getting progressivly worse over the past 6 months. the night sweats just recently started occouring in the past 2 months..... i'm only 24, so i know this is not premenopause, lol! but i am noticing everything getting worse.... does it go downhill quickly? i've been very short and cranky lately too! that's not like me!

Dizzy spells, night sweats, headaches... i'm worried my thyroid is picking up speed and getting worse?

Are you sure you got your test scores correct ? TSH of 0.07 is hyperthyroid.

As of early 2006, at most laboratories in the U.S., the official "normal" Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) blood test range runs from approximately .5 to 5.0.

You should find a way to see a doctor, a teaching college, free clinic whatever.

You could try eating Goitrogenic foods, soy and brocolli, for some it lowers their thyroid production.

Regardless of the cause, hyperthyroidism produces the same symptoms, including weight loss with increased appetite, shortness of breath and fatigue, intolerance to heat, heart palpitations, increased frequency of bowel movements, weak muscles, tremors, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. Women may also notice decreased menstrual flow and irregular menstrual cycles.
