UC and Hyperthyroidism?

[joelh]

I had my initial visit with my GI yesterday. She called today with blood work results. In addition to being anemic, she said that my TSH level was very low, indicating a hyperactive thyroid. I notice that some of the symptoms overlap and am wondering if there is a connection.

She referred me back to my GP for this and i am seeing him next week. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I guess that it will all sort out.

Hi I am new here and just diagnosed with UC as well as hyperthyroidism and diabetes. I too am wondering if anything is an underlying ailment of UC? I would have never found out about the diabetes or thyroid if I hadn't had the three months of diarrhea.

Good question joelh.

Follow up blood test have me pegged with " Subclinical Hyperthyroidism". I have been referred to an Endocrinologist. My appointment isnt until Oct.! Hope it isn't fatal! I can't help but feel that this and my u/c are working together. Guess I will find out for sure in October.
