Re: reclusive coming out with lab #s and story, help please

[Guest guest]

I have one thing---no two things------to say about your Free T4---(1) Pooey

on this dummy of a doc and shame on the idiot, for even by his/her

standards, this # is in the abnormal range, and (2) That's waaaaayyyyyy too

low by anyone's standards. Free T4 is the main thyroid hormone normally

produced by the thyroid, and should be close into the upper range, or at

least midrange. There's no telling about your pituitary, though, because I

can't believe, with that T4 reading, that it's not stimulating your thyroid

more. You also need thyroid antibodies testing, which would be the

antithyroidperoxidase antibodies and the antithyroglobulin antibodies, at

least. They work at destroying your thyroid " system " , sometimes in

different places, including the TSH receptor sites.

Hi !! , your free T3 is WAY too low. When you get that

free T3 up with Armour, you will notice great strides in many of the

problems you listed---and especially the depression.
