New Result

[Guest guest]

I just got my latest bloodwork back, and I'm feeling discouraged.

TSH .1

ft3 3.2 (2.3-4.2)

ft4 1.4 (.73-1.95)

The reason I'm discouraged is I still feel like hell, but Dr. Ozan

thinks these labs look great. He acknowledges my ft4 is just over the

halfway mark and my ft3 is still right below the halfway mark, but

stated he really feels the TSH is more important, and at .1, its as low

as he's comfortable with(I'm Hashi's/hypo). I'm on 1.5 grains Armour

right now, and he said he'll go ahead and let me increase to 2 grains

and see if I feel better, but that will be the max, and if my TSH goes

any lower, he'll want me to back off the Armour. (I actually increased

to 2 grains last week after my labs were done, and as usual, felt good

for 2 days, then crashed again and feel like crap!)

He says my labs look good enough to him, and he feels if I still feel

bad, it must not be thyroid. My a.m. cortisol was at the very top of

the lab range and he put me on a cortisol blocker, and this a.m.

cortisol was the same level, so he said to stop the cortisol blocker,

as it's not helping, but he doesn't think I have adrenal problems,

either.

He started me on bio-cream about 6 weeks ago, and said I should feel

better after about 2 weeks on that, but no dice. Now I'm not even sure

I should still be using that!

I told him SOMETHING isn't right if I still feel like complete hell,

and he just sidestepped the question...I could be overreacting because

it was a telephone conversation, but I started hearing that tone of

voice...you know, the one docs use when they think nothing is wrong

with you and you're just a big whiner!

Anyway, someone recently asked how Ozan feels about suppressed

TSH...guess now we know!

So what now???
