new test results

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Not been on for awhile but thought that I would run these past you

all to see what your thoughts are. These are results of blood taken

2 weeks after I was put on natural Thyroid 60mg (1 grain). This is

as high as he wants me to go to and I feel that I need more so I can

see a fight coming about this. I am only putting up those that are

out of range.

New test last test

MCH 32.5 27.0 - 32.0 32.9

UIBC 52 19 - 51

TIBC 65 45 - 63

Iron saturation 0.20 0.25 - 0.50

TSH 10.11 0.3 - 4.70 30.73

FREE T4 7.8 9.1 - 23.8 5.9

Ferritin 47 13 - 145

HCG 5

some of these were not done last time.

For those that are new I have been hypo for years, possibly since my

teens but only tested for it about 10 years ago and I am 64 years

old. I was on .125mg of synthroid until a year ago when I started

with a naturopathic doc who cleaned my system of the 10-12 daily

drugs that I was on and now all that I am on is the Thyroid. I am

not happy that he only gives 60mg daily as I have started to get

really tired again, sleeping is OK but no stamina and last week had

my first migraine in over a year and the dizzies are back. So I

think I need more, what do you think. He has no objection to me

continuing with 125mg daily of Adrenal Cortex but that is something

that I am not sure of, can this be taken indefinately or not? Would

sure like to feel as good as I did at Christmas time. I am having an

ultra sound of my neck which is swollen on the left side and it has

been that way for about 3 years but it is getting bigger. He thinks

that I might have a goiter, if so it has been there awhile. I know

that swollowing has become easier since starting Thyroid. Thanks for

reading and hope that there is an answer to this.
