Blood Tests From Dr. and What Patterns May Indicate

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

The test results from Dr. Alfred finally arrived in the mail today with a note telling me to make an appointment. I pulled out all my previous thyroid tests to see if patterns emerge. The tests before November were without any thyroid meds, but lots of hypo symptoms. Please give me your impressions of this data:

June: FT4= 0.9 (0.8-1.8); FT3= 249 (220-420); TSH= N/A

Sept: FT4= 1.01 (0.78-2.19); FT3= 2.68L (2.77-5.27); TSH= 0.853 (0.465-4.68); RT3= 22 (11-32)

Oct: TSH= 1.9 (0.465-4.68)

***Nov: FT4= 0.81L (0.82-1.77); FT3= 3.7 (2.0-4.4); TSH= 0.6 (0.45-4.5) ***This is with 25mcg of Time-Released T3

At the 25 mcg of T3, I became EXHAUSTED again within 5 days. I increased myself to 50mcg the Sunday before Thanksgiving. My appetite seems a little suppressed, but otherwise I am feeling good. I thought I might ask for more at first, but I'm gaining more energy as time passes. I don't feel overmedicated-- no return of heart flutters, not jittery. I will see what happens when I begin exercising on Monday.

Please give me as much feedback as possible. I really appreciate all the advice and support you all have provided so far.

Thanks,

Kim
