Re: Results from blood draw. Prior question was when do I take my meds

June 17, 2006

IMHO, your TSH is too high, and your FT4 and FT3 are far too low. TSH should

be below 1.0 and FT4 and FT3 should be high in the range - FT3 can even be

over ! Mine is.

Good luck with your doctor, lili

Hi Gwen, Why did adding Cytamel not work for you ? Have you tried

Armour? A lot of people don't do well on T4 only meds.Have you read

the web page ? Jane

Hi

I did try Armour with no good results. My FT4 dropped like a rock and

my FT3 was high. My neck swelled too. The neck swelling started as

soon as I took my first Armour pill. I'm sensitive to meds and their

fillers. An example for instance. I cannot take the Med Provera.

Whatever the fillers are I get a bad rash. Things went strange with

the Cytomel too. We tried a quarter of the lowest dose. So all of

that is out. I know I can feel well on just the Synthroid because for

14 years I did. Something happened in 2002. I crashed and I have not

fully recovered. It was like something changed in the meds. Its been

a long road for me.

Thanks for your response

Hi Gwen, Are you sure the rash was from the fillers? Have you checked

your adrenal function? My hubbie started T3 meds 3 weeks ago,

developed severe dermititis, hands swelled up, itching skin all over

...... and Dr immed put him on cortisone to boost his adrenal function.

All under control now and he is still taking his Thyroid meds.

Have you taken basal temps and through the day temps. Charted them ?

Do they fluctuate ? Have you had Thyroid problems for a long time ?

Hi Jane

I have had Thyroid disease since 1988. I was diagnosed with

Hashimoto's. My antibodies are very high again like they were in

1988. Wow back then I was hospitalized I was so sick. Funny thing

even when they checked my Thyroid then which was the last thing they

did before they were about to do exploritry surgery it checked out

fine. If it was not for another doc that my parents called in they

would have cut me open to find nothing wrong. This doc kept saying

she has all the symptoms of it. Lets keep testing on a weekly basis

and sure enough one blood test finally revealed a TSH of 95. So I'm

an Old timer in regards to the disease but more of a newbie in the

past 4 years of actually learning about it.

My adrenal glands were checked out by only blood work and they were

fine. I did take some supplements to help them as this whole crash

went on. And yes I do beleive they were weak at the time of trying

Cytomel and Armour. But I also have had other problems taking certain

meds due to fillers and such. So much that one doc insisted the med

was not the problem and he sent me to a dermatologist who then

confirmed it was. So I have been this route. I have also tried all

the other name brand thyroid meds and had problems with them.

Synthroid seems to be the med that will work for my body. For 14

years I did great. No one even knew I had this disease up until I

crashed in 2002.

My temps are usually 97.6-97.9. I'm thrilled when I get up to 98.2

but some days that feels like I have a fever.

So glad to hear your husband is doing well. I love when good things

happen for people. This disease can be frustrating.

Hi Gwen, That's interesting in what you said about your labs being

normal for ages back in 1988 and the Dr kept testing and eventually

the TSH was 95. My labs have always read normal and had been to 5 Drs

in last 2 years before my last Dr just saw that my Antibodies were 35,

Goitre huge with nodules - with that she dx me on the spot without

further tests.

I have had Thyroid since 1978 but could never get a Dr to treat me as

my blood test from 1978 was only borderline ...

I don't know what to think re your allergy but I would still be

thinking of adrenal support - get that bumped up - and then try Armour

again. I believe that the blood test for adrenals isn't that accurate

....Are your temps varying from am to pm in the same day ?

If you have high Antibodies it means your Thyroid meds are not

working.And if you are reacting to all meds - it seems like a

histimine reaction. My hubbie was on 2 histimines a day - every day of

his life - until this new Dr dx adrenal fatigue ...

I certainly wouldn't take one Drs dx of 'allergic to fillers' based on

one blood test. I would go back and question that. Have heard of Drs

that try to blame Armour when its a normal adrenal fatigue reaction.

The normal protocol is labs every 6 weeks, increase meds until

SYMPTOMS and labs are in normal range.. notice I did SYMPTOMS in

capital letters.. you still have hypo symptoms..

labs are in range but at the end of the range that an increase would

still allow your labs to be in range..

As a general rule most people feel better with TSH under 1 and the

T4 in the upper 2/3-3/4 end of the range although everyone has their

own set points. So with your ranges..1.29-1.37 is more of a target

to shoot for and still well with in the normal lab ranges.

I would definitely ask the doc for an increase..

JMO about T3 it is in line with your T4 and I would wait until the

T4 is higher before making a judgement about T3.

Hi Kats3boys

Got a guestion about TSH. When is it at its lowest point for the day?

I noticed with my labs that the ones drawn in the afternoon showed my

TSH to be lower. Also the 12 week lab test my T4 was just over the

mid range too but now its lower. Though with this latest blood draw I

did not take my meds. The others I had taken my med for the day but

the blood was drawn 8 hours later.

I'm going to see if she will increase me to 137mcg. I know we talked

about that the last time I was in. Cant remember what the outcome

was. I hate the Brain fog. I have now been writing things down!! SOme

days I'm just fine and others forget it.

Thanks again

Gwen

I found out that my daughter had lab results from July 2004 and only

TSH were done. the range used was 0.2 - 5.5 and the result was

0.8uIU/mL.. Can someone give me an input as to what needs to be done.

Her Dr. had told her in 2004 that it was normal. Please help,

0.8 is a normal TSH..it is easy to think everything Hypo but if she is

having a problem loosing wieght I would have the Doc run the FT4 just

to make sure the thyroid is fine.. but I would also have the Doctor

run a diabetes test and iron, B12 levels..July 2004 also means those

labs are outdated to use as any type of reference guide as to how she

is doing now..
