What are symptoms of Low Free T4?

[Guest guest]

I've looked around a bit to find out symptoms of low Free T4. I am on 75 mcg

of Timed Release T3. The latest lab report shows my Free T4 has dropped from mid

range to BELOW the bottom of the range.

I'm trying to figure out what is contributing to my current symptoms, and am

wondering if it is the Free T4...or something else.

An internet search doesn't really help me, but I remember things being discussed

here, and I don't know how to go back and look up the conversations...I get too

many results that don't apply.

Anyway, I'm having an unusual amount of body aches. I'm sore just about

everywhere. I'm used to having a sore neck or back from time to time, but I'm

hobbling around today like an 100 year old woman.

I know my cortisol is borderline low...and I'm waiting to treat it until I

figure out if I need to do something else treatment-wise on the thyroid.

I'm starting to get the idea it may be an issue with the timed release T3...I

thought it was the answer to my problems because of the way my b/p didn't spike

after taking it. Reading up a bit on the timed release seems to suggest many

people don't do well on it. I will be sorry to hear that if that ends up being

the case.

Sorry to ask so many questions recently. I do appreciate everyone's input.
