Latest Labs

[Guest guest]

Well the labs are in from when I saw Dr. P the TSH loving God Emperior of Endos

and he is still worshipping at the TSH alter.

He will be mailing me a 'script for 60 mg of Armour which will go in the Trash

as Dr. H is now writing my 'scripts for 90 mgs.

Dr. P still insists that I am Hyper even thought the ONLY thing that points to

it is TSH the other labs including the older ones do not. Now why won't he

investigate why my TSH is suppressed and why is doesn't move one bit when my

meds are changed. Remember I was adding .50 mcg of Synthroid that was reduced

to .25 and then stopped - the TSH hasn't moved - If it was truly suppressed due

to overmedication wouldn't it have moved somewhat???? It hasn't, oh excuse me -

it did - it went from .03 to .033, big Whoop.

Here they are - any comments anyone. I will be dropping a copy off for Dr. H.

he is right down the street from where I work.

TSH 0.033 Range .46 - 3.59

Free T4 (Direct) 0.9 Range ND - 1.03 Hypothyroid

0.8 - 2.00 Euthyroid

(normal)

1.2 - 11.4 Hyperthyroid

(mine was 1.1 last time)

T-3 Uptake 27 Range 22-35%

T-4 Total 7.4 Range 4.5 - 12.5

Free t4 Index (T7) 2.0 Range 1.4 - 3.8

T3, Free 278 Range 230-420

(it was 328 last time)

I just don't get it. I T3 - the bound one was over range last time, but they

didn't even test that one this time. I fail to see how in the * & (( I am hyper.

Can any of you?? Reduce the meds, my T4 and T3 drop, but TSH does not come up -

can't be the thyroid gland - has to be a pit problem but the endo who is suppose

to be a pit specialist can see it. DUH!!!!!

I still have no plans to go back to him. And if I can't get in to the pituitary

center at MD , I think I am pretty much done with Endo's. I know Dr. H

is planning on having the thyroid Ultrasound redone at a Hospital and find out

for sure if there are two nodules (one on each side) and possibly having the FNA

redone on both. Once he gets his hands on my med records if there is reference

to two - then it's a go. He can also order follow-up MRI's on the pituitary.

If there is any change in the size of the pit tumor then I would have no choice

but an endo, but that would also get me into MD . It's all such a pain

in the * & & and I am just doctored out.
