Doctor Appt. results (long)

[Guest guest]

These are the resusts from my October 11 appt. with the new doctor before I started taking armour:

t4 0.93 UG/DL (4.50 -12.00)

T-UPTAKE 0.86 (0.72 - 1.24

t3 0.89 NG/ML (0.80 - 2.00)

TSH 0.03 IU/ML (0.47 - 5.01)

I talked with the doctor about ft3 and ft4 and staterd that he gets better results using some type of index invlving the results of the t3 and the TSH (has anyone heard of this?) Also I made him aware of the lower rages and he staterd that he heard about them and they were not yet official. He stated that he really wanted my number (TSH) to be around 0.1. I then asked him if the had a probloem with my numbers below so low (surpressed) he stated no because that does not tell him how much thryoid is in my blood. He uses other measurements for that. I took more bloodwork today and he wants me to stay on the 2 grains for the next three weeks and if there are any problems with the test he will call me, especially if he needs to raise the dose.

Today he took t3, thyroid panel and TSH

(I guess I will have to go to another lab for the free's)
