Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Ok, I have looked everywhere for my last lab results and cann't find them anywhere. I was able to find my 06/05 results. What numbers do I need to be looking at? Here are some of the numbers. The ones he circled because they were off or high. TSH is 15.567 Cholesterol 206 LDL 142 RBC 5.12 Hemoglobin 15.2 Hematocrit 44.4 Those numbers were without any synthroid. I was put on .05 once a day and now take .075 once a day. I am feeling better but it seems that right around 1:00 I get really tired. I'm not sure if it's because I am exercising more and eating better and my boyd just needs to adjust or what. I want to ask my Dr. (a family DR) about taking half in the am and maybe half a noon or so. Does anyone do this? Margie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 margie, some people do really well with synthroid. i don't know how or why, but it does happen. congrats and good luck to you! can you also post your lab's normal ranges also? andrea Lab I just got my lab results in from my Feb 13th visit. My Dr. actually wrote EXCELLENT across it like it was school work. EVERYTHING once listed as high is down.On one hand, I'm happy to see everything lower, but on the other, I'm kinda concerned because they are lower. Can synthroid really do that so easily? If I had known that, I would have taken my meds seriously and daily when I was first diagnosed (just hard headed I guess).It's marked with "continue same meds & weight loss regimen recheck in one year". The first number 06/05 and the second (lower) is 2/13/06TSH is 15.567 4.763Cholesterol 206 158LDL 142 96Margie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Robin, I'm feeling a lot better! I don't know if it's because I am taking my meds faithfully or the healthy eating habits and exercise I have adopted. I think it could be a combination of both. I went all last week without having to get my normal 2hr nap. I find that I am not longer so sleepy at around 1 like I use to be. I do believe it's a combination of everything.
