Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 >>Test name: TSH Results: 0.52 Ref. Range 0.34 - 5.6 What does this mean???????? He says its in normal range! Its low isn't it? Am I hypo or hyper??<< Basically this is a screening test they run which is VERY inaccurate. You need to ask for Free T3 and Free T4. These are actual thyroid hormones, the TSH is a test of a pituitary hormone. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 exactly. and most Endos go by the TSH. i've given up arguing with them about it, but i always insist on the Free T4 and Free T3.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I just read that Forst Pharmaceutcals took calcitonin out of amour and it is sold seperatly / Anyone know if this is true.

It is the OLDEST medicine there is for thyroid treatment and still the best! It contains all the thyroid hormones you r own thyroid would be making if it worked right. Most the synthetic thyroid meds only contain T4, and some just T3 and there are a couple that have T3 & T4 but Armour has T1, T2, T3, T4 and Calcitonin which is a hormone that is made in the thyroid gland that keeps calcium in your bones. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 --- Val I have just been told that Calcitonin was taken out of Armour by Forest. I have no idea if this is true but some women on the wmshormone group are adamant that someone researched this recently and it is in fact true. Does anyone here know about this?
