Re: I need HELP!

Leila,

Here is another site on hyperthyroidism (you may be in the subclinical

stage):

http://www.abbottdiagnostics.com/Your_Health/Thyroid/Disorders/hyper.cfm

I don't think my last post went through, but I think it would only be

prudent of you to rule out Grave's right now while you appear to be in

an early stage (if at all). Get those anti-body tests would you????

Good luck girl!

Hi Leila. I think you may misunderstand. A low TSH does not mean you

are hypo. It " can " mean the opposite---hyper. But even that is

difficult to say without knowing what that T3 was and the ranges. Let

us know, OK?

I may misunderstand, but I told the group I dont *KNOW* anything about this

subject and need you all's help with understanding.

As far as my symptoms go, I posted a long intro a couple weeks ago and you

replied. Do you not remember? I'm always cold, fatigued, nauseated, have

horrible allergies, have weak muscles, am thin, have inflamed tonsils, have

hypoglycemia, get panic attacks, have anxiety disorder, etc.

SO..........does anyone know what this means? TSH = 0.018. FREE T3 = 1.9

Hashimotos aka Thyroiditis. Lots of folks have it. And the

antibodies test should help you know if you do. And if you do, I

personally like what I read with the Lowes, who treat it with

Armour. But, you might also want to get your pituitary gland checked

out. Just go to Google and type in pituitary disorder and you'll get

lots to read on that!!

You hang in there and keep us informed.
