Question

Hi doctor,

I am having a headache which got severe nowadays. And so I just checked my blood and saw my platelets are increasing in a series of tests. In the last test, platelets, WBC, and RBC are slightly increased. The body has itching problems, usually at night. Eyes are blurry nowadays. I am very much tired. I feel like sleeping always. I lost my appetite, but I have not lost weight or gained weight. My face is full of pimple-like marks, which fades in between and comes again. I have severe pain during periods, and my period's flow is in the form of a blood clot. Nowadays, my joints are aching, and having leg and hand pain. I would like to know what it is?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I see you are worried about the symptoms.

Your platelet levels are not soo high to worry about. It is only slightly elevated. It does not cause any significant harm. So you need not worry about that. Most of your symptoms relate to hypothyroidism, and your TSH level is also high. But only mildly elevated TSH (subclinical hypothyroidism) does not satisfy to start on thyroid supplements unless its value is more than 10 (Overt hypothyroidism), though we can start when a person is presenting with the symptoms. So I need you to retest with Free T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) levels instead of Total T3 and T4 and review to see the baseline. Free T4 levels and decide better on starting the supplements. And I do not see any report showing the cholesterol levels. Kindly upload a picture of the same.

If you have not checked your sugars, please check that also before the next review.
