Several years ago, I experienced hyperthyroidism. As a diabetic and Stage 3 CKD patient, my PCP monitors my blood work regularly.. I took a lab test called TSH and found I went from a normal level of 3 to over 3000 with no symptoms that I was aware other than being tired frequently which is a sign of thyroidism. I later went to my endocrinologist where another test was performed,. Whatever happened, thyroidism was confirmed. I now take Levothyroxine daily, and my TSH value is normal again.

@collegeprof your post started by saying you experienced hyperthyroidism. Then you ended by saying thyroidism was confirmed But you didn’t say hyper (high) or hypo (low). I’m guessing hypothyroidism since you were put on levothyroxin. Is that correct? I had Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism - high). My endocrinologist told me it is not uncommon to reverse from hyper (high) to hypo (low). She is now monitoring me for this. Is this anything like what has been going on with you?
