You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

Steroids can impact your body negatively. Common side effects include weight gain, acne breakouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happens because steroids interfere with natural functions within your system. Weight gain and acne result from hormonal changes caused by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt chemical balances regulating emotions and sleep cycles. If experiencing these issues, consult your doctor immediately.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
