Newly Diagnosed
I am 44yo F. I recently developed vitiligo. My dermatologist told me that thyroid issues are more common in people with vitiligo.
I went to my PCP and had labs drawn. I found out that I am iron deficient with a ferritin of 2.
Additionally, I was told I have Hashimoto thyroid disease.
TSH 2.494
T4, free 0.79
TPO 186
Thyroid Ultrasound Next week.
I really don’t know what to think about any of this. My doctor offered to put me on a low dose of Synthroid-if I was having symptoms. Which I find interesting, since my TSH and T4 are normal.
I am trying to process all of this information. Any advice would be appreciated
