I am 46. I have a combination of health issues. I look completely normal to the outside world, except that I have great difficulty walking 99% of the time. (Other issues...not overweight...I am around 100 pounds, 5'3") Right now I feel really bad. My TSH came back 5.10 and my doctor told me it was high so I need to increase my thyroid medication. I am just wanting confirmation that I need it increased because that seems backwatds, plus I have been on same dosage for 26 years. My bloodwork also came back with low WBC, RBC, Hemaglobin, and Hemacrit, but my Basophils are high. Any ideas of cause...could it be allergies? Thank you.
