Re:Question about dr rind thyroid graph...

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Use this link to get to the " Defining the Thyroid Scale Page " . the print is

small so you have to zoom in to see where your lab results fall.

Let me know if you have trouble figuring it out.

OK, so then what do the results mean??

My levels are all over the place on the graph??

Are these normal ranges??

My TSH is under -7, but free t4 is +1.

This is all new to me.

Thanks

Well, you need your FT3 to do this scale. But I don't find this scale

to be very accurate. He considers optimal TSH between 1.3-1.8, which I

consider WAY too high. I know that I'm hypo when my TSH is that high.

And I know some people feel much better with a FT3 higher than the 320-

330 he considers optimal.

Val, do these general guidelines make sense? If not, what should the

numbers be?

TSH <1

FT3 > 320

FT4 > .8 and < 1.3

TSH <1

FT4 > .8 and < 1.3

Personally I like the TSH as low as possible. TSH means the body is sking for

more thyroid, if it is well supported there shoudl be 0 TSH. Mine is .015 I ma

happy here. The T4 I do nto ever like to see above 1.4 but below 1.2 people are

hypo. T3 It depends on if you are on Armour or Just T3. I think if oyu are on

just T3 you need a higher free T3 to carry you through where conversion would

carry you otherwise. With Armour I think in the 400-500 range is good but with

T3 only at least 600!

So, this graph is suppose to tell you where you are suppose to be

according to dr rind, right??

Im getting my labs done again soon with the free t3...so I'll know

more, but Im sure all mine are way out of range, in other

words...symptoms.!!

I wish I could see dr. rind, he sounds like he knows his stuff.
