RE: Got my t3 result - I'm at a loss What to do

[Guest guest]

your iron still needs to be taken, you are not being over

medicated on that and your ferritin level of only 49 shows that you need more

iron. If you didn't take your T3 or thyroxine on the morning you had your blood

tested, then 6.4 for free T3 is still a tad high, but though you have dropped

your thyroid hormone since, what dose were you taking when you had your blood

taken for the test?

I think you should talk to your GP and tell him that you do not

have symptoms of over medication but that there must be another associated

condition going along onside.

It does seem to me that you are changing your medications

far too much and not giving them long enough to do their work, and I am not

sure whether it is the doctors who don't know what they are doing, or whether

this is something you are trying as an experiment yourself.

You need to be treating according to your symptoms, but it does

seem to me that you are treating all the time to get your test results to a

certain place, and I am not sure where that is. We are always telling members

that when on thyroid hormone replacement, especially those taking some form of

T3, thyroid function tests are useless, and you should be working towards

getting your symptoms and signs reduced.

Hi I have my t3 result from last Wednesday just

dobt know what he he'll is going on

My result is 6.4 range 2.4 to 5.7 I do not feel like Im on too much t3 I have

been on too much before and it was awful but yet I dont have any of the signs

at all. I have never been on such low dose of thyroid meds I'm not to sure that

the results will stay this way as k have just given birth bu can not see them

going down dramatically.

Thanks

on Ife awful I'm sotired . I have also stopped my iron as I was being over

medicated I dint want to add to it by taking iron.

Thanks for the response. Yes I agree I should be still taking my iron.

To be Honest Sheila my doctor is not interested in anything relating to my

thyroid she said it's nothing to so with her and is sick of hearing about it and

I need to wait to see my endo who I am going to see prof Davies on Friday.

I have reduced my t4 meds to 150 and I am going to wait six weeks I reduced it

without consulting my endo or doctor as i felt like I was going to kill someone

that's the only sign I had of being over medicated. Since reducing my meds I am

getting hypo sins back ie my hands are like ice all the time. So

I just don't understand my levels are high but only sign is being agitated and

snappy and I reduce and my hypo signs come back. I feel totally unbalanced and

can not pin point why and I still feel like I need to cry all the time.

this is the lowest amount of meds I have ever been on on my life. And yet my

results are so good.

I did bot take t4 on the am of the test and the t3 I took the day before also as

o took my last dose at 3pm on Tuesday and my bloods were drawn at 9 ish that's

18 hours apart from my t3.
