Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Do you know, Ginger, that on the thyca site, most of us have had tt's. Was yours because of cancer ? If because of cancer, the normal tsh for cancer is .01 to .50. Labs will continue to show the normal range being that for those who haven't had thyroid cancer. But for cancer, it needs to be lower to help keep those nasty cancer cells away. Also there is much experience of those who have had med levels changed. Topper , I'm not bashing this site. I hope you don't take it personally. But there's a wealth of info on thyca too. I hope you don't mind me posting about thyca. jane > > a year and a half ago i had a total thyroidectomy. > > these are my current lab values: > Free T4 1.27 range (0.61-1.76) > Free T3 2.7 range (2.3-4.2) > TSH 0.151 previous 0.521 range 0.350 - 5.500 > > i usually eat something for breakfast, something about 11:30 for > lunch, something for snack about 3:30 or so then dinner about 6 then > snack before bed. > currently i am taking a multivitamin but no extra selenium. > i rarely eat soy and high fructose corn syrup. > what else can help or hinder conversion of T4 to T3? > > i went from 150 mcg synthroid to 125 mcg synthroid about 2 weeks ago. > am having crying spells. > don't know if this change can elicit changes so quickly. what do you > think? > anyone else have this happen? > > thanks for any help... > > ginger. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
