Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi, Can you give the range for the T4? It's hard to comment without that because apparently labs use different ranges. If it is like mine the T4 range is 0.8-1.8, and yours is pretty low. It should probably be at the top of the range. Also, it's important to get a Free T3 test done. T3 is the active thyroid hormone so it's very important to test, but unfortunately many doctors don't. Also it will let us know if your body is converting the T4 to T3. I don't know too much about diabetes but I would suggest getting a blood glucose monitor (they aren't that expensive from the drugstore) and testing yourself from time to time since it runs in your family. Also eating a low glycemic diet would probably be beneficial -- is for everyone even if diabetes doesn't run in the family!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi, Well, these test results may be normal for some people, however they are not for others. It really depends upon what is going on in and with the body. Let me ask you a few questions here to get a better picture of your test... First off, Why are you asking about your bloodtests? Did your doc give you a diagnosis? and if so what was it? Are you taking any supplements, as in a Thryoid pill of some sort? Are you taking any vitamins? Multi, extra B complex, iron, vit c, zinc??? The T4 test, was it for Free T4 or Total T4? Looking forward to your answers, to see what might be up...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 The tests you had are nearly obsolete. The tests you need are the Free T4 and the Free T3, as those show what is actually available in your blood for your body cells to use. No guesswork with those two tests, except that most people's bodies need different amts, so not everyone will even fit the general guidelines for testing. It's how you FEEL on a particular dose. That's why it sometimes takes so long to tweak dosing with some people. It's taking me forever because I have the formidable Hashimoto's Disease. Antibodies like to say " Fooled ya! " It LOOKS like what you had is the Total T4 (all bound and unbound hormone together) and the T3 Uptake. They are all indirect estimates of what's being available in the body. Free T3 and Free T4 are both direct. test results > To whom it may concern... > I'm not sure who the experts are here so I won't address it to any > one person... > > I got my test results today.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi, in answer to your questions... The paper I recieved from the Dr. said that the blood work was " normal and " no follow up is needed. " my thyroid gland is enlarged and I am having symptoms of thyroid problems. I haven't actually spoken with the Dr since then. I am not on any thyroid medicine. but I was a couple of years ago ... according to the dr to boost the affectiveness of my antidepressant (which I am also no longer on) I am taking a wonderful vitamin form Melaleuca. It is actually absorbed into the system within 3 hours (i believe taht is the time frame) and I don't know what I would have done without them because the fatigue is nearly overwhelming as it is. It is a multi-vitamin with iron for women. and finally... the paper merely says T4 it doesn't specify anything further perhaps I can call the lab and find out... I will try Thanx Rhonda > > To whom it may concern... > > I'm not sure who the experts are here so I won't address it to > any > > one person... > > > > I got my test results today.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 hummm, okay... Well, the TSH test was run with the old ranges...the new ones end with the upper end being 3.x...no wheres near the 5 range. And the total, for me and my understanding of these things, really do not give us a clear picture of how your body is breaking down the T4 into T3 or T2 etc. Thus I, for one, prefer seeing the Free's being tested... Free T4 and Free T3 tells us whether the body is abosrbing and breaking down the T4 and how much of the Free T3 is available in the bloodstream for use by the muscles. Now a few more questions... You mention that you are living with some syptoms...what are they? Can you describe them to us? Have you had a chance to take your rising basal tempurature? Taking your temp through out the day really doesn't tell us a whole lot other than a body is active and thus is has heated up or cooled off the bodies energies field. Thus taking it before a person rises... Suggested reading: www.thyrophoenix.com about.thyroid.com These are get web sites that one should read from cover to cover a few times to find all the tidbits lerking in the articles.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 In the past (now I can't find it at my local library) I had read " Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat? " and following the suggestion in it I had taken my temperature every morning for quite a while. It was always down around 97 or lower (but that has been around a year ago I think). I also did the 1000 calorie a day diet for a month and did not lose any weight. I found it difficult to reach 1000 calories most days unless I had a pop or other sugary items. It seemed like a lot of food to me and most of the time I don't eat a whole lot (which i know in itself is a problem). From looking at different sites and books these are some of the symptoms that I have found they attribute to hypothyroidism that I deal with pretty regularly... fatigue loss of appetite always cold milky discharge form breasts muscle cramps frequent headaches difficulty concentrating slow movements constipation difficult hair (dry and brittle no matter how good a shampoo I'm using) eyelids that feel sticky (this one was new to me.. I thought it was just because I was always tired) irregular periods (this one has just been recent) tingling in hands and feet weight gain enlarged thyroid I feel like a hypochondriac writing all of this down but I also feel that you people here won't judge me that way because you have been here too also, something I read recently suggested stiffness in joints and such... I wake up most mornings and can barely walk because I ache so bad in my back and my legs, is this related? I am only 35 but swear my body must be twice that age. My sincerest thanx for all your help and information Rhonda > > > > To whom it may concern... > > > > I'm not sure who the experts are here so I won't address it > to > > > any > > > > one person... > > > > > > > > I got my test results today.
