Hi, i recently discovered the front of my neck was swollen..my thyroid. I have known for a while that I am borderline hyperthyroid. I had a radioactive uptake scan and it found that I possibly have Graves disease. I have just had blood tests done. I have the results and I am trying to understand them Tsh came back at  0.3. Thyroid Peroxidase 1, Thyroglobulin 1. My Ferritin levels are high, 307..its says normal is 30-150. Gamma GT is 44 and LDH 268. Any help figuring this out would be awesome. I am also very overweight and cant understand why when I have an overactive thyroid, I am not a big eater

Hi Barb
Went to the endo. Now im more lost then ever. I have to go for the other test but she thinks they will come back normal. My tsh is 0.3 which is right on the normal range. So she is convinced that I dont have graves disease. She has no idea why my thyroid is enlarged and why my iodine uptake was greatly increased that much so that Graves disease was possible yet my tsh is in the normal range. I have 3 nodules one is 12mm. I have pain in that area when I yawn...my nodes on my neck are swollen and sore now. She said that if the other bloid work came back normal a biopsy on the nodules would be the next step but shes nit in a hurry to see me and has booked me in for late june for the next appointment.i dont know what to do

What are the reference ranges for the results?  Did you have Free T3 and Free T4 tested?  If not, can you get your doctor to do so?   I also don't see a TSI test, which would determine if you have Graves Disease or not.  

Not everyone who is hyper, loses weight.
