Hello Richie,
I too have noticed that when I've spoken to my GP and various other doctors about concerns I've had in the past, they have each seen my history of anxiety and seemingly added another symptom to the list.
Having said that, I don't know the process by which they reached their conclusions and it may be that as a patient naive to the majority of the medical world, I am simply drawing conclusions that are false. I will say that I'm pretty sure since anxiety is a nervous disorder, that I believe there is a practically unending number of symptoms that may occur due to the fact that everything is under master control of the brain and nervous system, though this is simply my opinion and may not be true.
I'm sorry but I am in no position to give you an opinion on your problems. I've never experienced what you describe and I've never seen or heard of anyone else experiencing it.
In your first post you said that your THS is on the high side of normal and climbing. Didn't your doctor try and explain why and what the consequences of this are? Is it a case of "normal is normal", meaning high-normal or low-normal are indifferent. Surely a rising level means something? I don't know.
Go back to your doctor and push them for answers. You have a right to know everything you want to know and don't allow them to simply shrug off your concerns. Make them explain to you why they're not concerned about your rising levels and tell you why it is of no consequence.
I'm being ignorant, but if it doesn't even matter that your levels are rising or are high, like your doctor has said, what's the point in taking the test in the first place? If it doesn't come with an explanation then it's meaningless. Again, I know nothing of which I speak here so take anything I say with skepticism.
Perhaps it could be a relationship with another entity in the body, for example white cell count rises rapidly and dramatically in the presence of infection, then lowers to normal once the pathogen has been eradicated. Likewise, perhaps the levels you're concerned with also rise and fall with certain conditions? Either way, you need to know.
Anyway, I'll stop trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about and urge you to question your doctor a little deeper until you're satisfied with the advice you're given.
George.
