No, just TSH, which was just moderately high. My doctor said he’d jmonitor it. At the time I was seeing an acupuncturist for allergies and I told her about it. She did needle treatment and Chinese herbs, and my levels returned to normal. I’ve been seeing an endocrinologist for osteoporosis who recently tested my TSH. It’s above normal again.

I have Sjogren’s, which I have read can contribute to hypothyroidism, as can other autoimmune diseases. However, immunotherapy can apparently also contribute to it. So, I’m going to discuss this with my liver doctor next week.

Good luck with your test. Have you spoken with your transplant team about it your high levels?

Yes , the Mayo doctor did the thyroid scan. Since nothing was found I need to go for the uptake test. Which takes three appointments over 2 days. I plan to do it next week, with the results going back to my Mayo doctor. Good luck and wishing your thyroid issue is resolved.
