To shrink nodules, you need to get your TSH down to between 0.3 and 1.0, possibly even lower than that. You need to see a doc who will adequately treat you. wrote: no, havent been tested, cant get passed the TSH issue. jan this year it was 3.98 and now it is reading 2.10. are either of these you mention have a known issue with dissapearing nodules?thanks,steph(last month, three times, there was something there, when i swallowed it hurt and only on the right side.)> > > ---------------------------------> not a big surprise to me, but my thyroid tsh is 2.10> the doc then discussed my issue about the brain fog> and the neuro's are > seeing a good outcome in many of us heppers with> provigal....it is a > narcolepsy medication.> anyway...thanks you guys, i know there is still> something wrong with my > thyroid as it is up one month and down the next.....> but until then, i will take the provigal if my> insurance pays for it, > otherwise, its free samples for this gal. my liver> doctor is wonderful!> now, the next question....what type of issue would> cause this up and > down pattern with the thyroid????> > thanks,> steph>

Free T3 will be termed " Triiodothyronine, Free " , usually. T4 will be termed

either " Free T4 " or possibly " Thyroxine, Free " . Totals are not good because

they will include the bound hormone along with the Free, so you can't tell

what's what. Better to have the direct Frees.

Move on to another doctor cause they're not running anything that would tell

your thyroid hormone values.
