Bloodwork all over the place: Autoimmune, Hypothyroidism, Epilepsy+

Posted by laneyh @laneyh, Aug 1, 2022

Hi, I’m currently seeing 5 specialist and will help give some insight on bloodwork issues. My diagnosed areas that have been on going are Hypothyroidism(50yrs), Epilepsy(45yrs, controlled 10), and Microscopic Colitis (2yrs). All of a sudden since developing the Colitis my thyroid is all over place. Went from 150mcg to 100mcg back to 130 mcg pill. My Depekote levels are up and down. My Ferritin has been a 6 sometimes raising to a 9 and the rest of iron is low, all of WBC is low including platelet count. I find it strange I can pin point the day my WBC started dropping, it was 6 years ago when I had CDIFF, been tested for again. To top it all off my ANA is 1280 but Autoimmune diseases (lupus, RA , ETC) are ruled out. I do not have cancer and the hematologist is baffled. Does anyone have changes in bloodwork with Menopause(Drs tell me no). I’m so tired of getting bloodwork all the time and no answers. I’m tired period! Not to mention I lost 70 pds this year but it was much needed. I weigh what I weighed in high school! Any insight would be great. Thanks

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

@laneyh, I hope you don't mind, but I expanded the title of this discussion and moved it to show in multiple groups including Autoimmune Diseases, Endocrine System, and Epilepsy in the hopes of attracting more responsese.

I'm tagging @astaingegerdm @gingerw @pbt @carolyne @jakedduck1 and @tlfrench who have some or all of the same conditions as you. Perhaps they also share the experience of bloodwork variations.

Laney, are these fluctuations new for you?
