Sianosis

[Samy1988]

I have Hashimotos but although my ultrasound is normal the scan report says I have sianosis. This is the 2nd time I've had this finding so is this autoimmune, can it be treated and who do I need to see about this? Also can it cause difficulty swallowing?

Thank you

Did you get tested for Reverse T3 rT3) levels?
fT3/rT3 ratio is probably the most reliable marker for low cellular thyroid function.  It should be at 20+

Hmm, we've talked about this in the past, I believe.
In addition to Hashimoto's, Adrenal fatigue, secondary hypothyroidism,
Ovarian-Adrenal-Thyroid Axis imbalance, estrogen dominance, under-methylation are suspect and should be ruled out.
I don't remember to what extend you had explored these (other than the
under-methylation).

Best,
Niko

My thyroid tests are normal at the moment but my endo has told my doctor that my TSH needs to be around 1.

TSH: 2.87 (0.2-4.2)
FT4: 18.7 (12-22)
FT3: 4.8 (3.9-6.7)

100mcg T4

Symptoms still there:

Dry skin
difficult swallowing
weight loss
Feeling cold
constipation
abdominal pain
reflux
wind
tired
blocked nose
Dry skin
heavy period
painful period
muscle pain
muscle spasms
pins and needles

Thank you.

OK, then.
No, it's not an A/I condition and its only symptom is swelling of the parotid salivary glands-no inflammation, no infection, no cancer. It's benign.

It may have to do with thyroid or thyroid medication in your case, but there's no known cause according to medical literature.

Hi, thanks for answer,  sorry, no. I meant salivary gland.

Arterial saturation is 95% with oximetry.

I have Reynauds as well.

It is likely connected to Hashimoto's.
Hypothermia, Hypoxia, Raynaud's are often associated with Cyanosis, if this is what you meant by sianosis.
  Your  Arterial oxygen saturation, should be checked to rule out any significant respiratory or circulation involvement.

Cheers.
