Re: Help with Lab Results Please

[Guest guest]

I'm no expert and I haven't had any tests done yet as I haven't been

in to see Dr. G yet but those results look to me like he is

definitely viral.

This definitely sounds to me like strep infection....the red ears we

have seen here. Your son's ASO is very high. High strep titers

should be treated with prolonged course of antibiotics. What has

your doctor said about the high strep numbers? During antibiotic

treatment, supplement with acidophilus 2 times per day, at least 1

hour apart from the antibiotics.

I hope this helps!

Debbie - go here in our Files Section thyroid treatment/files/NHS%20TREATMENT/

and click on 'First Visit to Endocrinologist' - there is lots of

information there giving you tips and questions to ask etc. Try to take

somebody with you and after he has checked out your blood test results, ask

that you be tested to see whether you have thyroid antibodies or not. These are

TPO and TgAb.

Luv - Sheila

Hi could anyone please help me with my "normal" results, before I see theEndo. These are from my GP, the Endo asked for his own tests.> TSH 1.77 (0.27-4.7) was 2.22 last week> FT4 15.7 (12-22)> FT3 4.1 (2.8-7.1)Hi Debbie,

Without knowing your history and which and how much thyroid meds – if any at all - you are taking, the first thought that comes into my head when looking at the above results is that if you are taking thyroid meds at all, it's too little and if you are not on any thyroid meds you need to have your thyroid autoantibodies checked (TPO, TgAB and TRAB). Fluctuating "normal" TSH is often a sign for Hashimoto's disease (autoimmune thyroiditis).

With best wishes,

Hi

Thankyou for your reply and your time and experience. I am almost sure that my

GP did the antibody tests,sorry but I cant put my hand on the results. They

would have been in the normal range.

I went to see Endo Tuesday he may have asked for these tests, I know that he

asked for a few inc T3 & T4 as we were not sure if the labs had already done

them as they had previously refused. I also did a SST test on Tuesday but I'm

sure that will be ok as my saliva test from Genova was ok a couple of weeks ago.

I have just had four days of feeling quite well(2 days prior and 2 days after

SST test) but have gone backwards again today. I did come to after eating

lunch.

I am not on any thyroid medication,but I do have a lot of the symptoms, my major

ones being extreme fatigue, weakness, spaced out,weight and joint/muscle pain

stiffness. My liver enzymes have gone up again even though I have not had any

alcohol in 9 months. Readings as follows

serum total protein 78g/l (64-83)

albumin 48g/L (35-52)

globulin 30g/L (20-37)

Total Bilirubin 19umol/L(0-19)

Alk Phos HI 126 u/L (35-104)

ALT HI 165 u/L (0-35) was down to 50 last month

Gamma GT HI 212 u/L (6-42) " 173 " "

FSH HI 14 iu/L (3-13) was 66 in November NO HRT

B12 301 (191-663)

Ferritin 193 (range?)

I am due to have a telephone call from my Endo this weeks when he gets the

results of my tests and I was just wondering what to say if as I expect the

tests are within the " normal " range.

Kind Regards Apologies for length of message Debbie x
