RE: Here goes my newest lab, please have a look...

Hi Fragrance, Your dose of T4 is not a full replacement dose, which is usually about 125-150mcg, so your own output of thyroid hormones may have gone down due to further thyroid damage. TSH can take a long time to respond ( weeks/ months) to changes in thyroid activity. Low thyroid states can also affect the pituitary, as well as any other bodily system, so it does not release sufficient TSH. Your iron is a bit low in it's range- this can also affect how thyroid hormones are used and give rise to tiredness. > thyroid treatment > From: fragrance_seen@...> Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 11:39:06 +0000> Subject: Here goes my newest lab, please have a look...> > I am taking 62.5 mcg of Levothyroxine and 1800 IU of Vit D plus 1000 mg of Ca, 400 mg of Mg.> > This time my FT4 is so weird, below the average, but TSH still stay at low, too.> > My iPTH is very low, with symtoms of tingling lips and tongue that I am suffering.
