Re: Test results - need input

[Guest guest]

Hello all....This is a and I'm looking for help with interpreting most recent labs I wrung out of my Doc. She's great in that she gives me meds I ask for, but not so great in that she does not really lead me fully. So I need some ideas about how to adjust meds, amounts, etc. THANKS!!!

Free T4 0.93 ng/dl (range 0.71-1.85)

Free T3 374 pg/dl (range 230-420)

HTSH II 0.000 uIU/ml (range 0.49-4.67)

I'm on 2 1/2 grains dessicated thyroid (compounded Rx) in AM and Cytomel 6 mg (1/4 of 25 mg tab) noonish and early evening. I requested the Cytomel and it seems to help. I still waken very shaky and can take several hours to get going every day.

WBC 4.2 (range 4.3-11)

RBC 4.16 (range 4.20-5.40)

My HGB was 13.4 ( 12-16) and HCT 40.8 (38-47) so I'm on low end, am not truly anemic, but the cell counts are low ????????? Explanation ???? Thyroid related??????? SUGGESTIONS??? COMMENTS??????

Sodium, Potassium, Calcium all at very edge of low range...and I supplement with all these daily...get muscle cramps if I do not.

Thanks from a

PS I'm sending this second time as have not seen it posted although it was not returned as undelivered either??????? So I apologize if I have somehow missed a reply/posting. The phones have been so troubled by all the rain here it has been a sometimes thing to even get online. Many thanks, a
