Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Guess I'm still pretty hypo but I'm having a hard time determining whether I have made any progress since my last labs in October b/c my Top Doc prefers Quest so that's who I used this time and the labs I had done in October were done by my endo and I don't know who they use and their ranges are different. Here's the latest (from 12/10/07 at 8AM before eating, thyroid or HC taken): TSH (3rd gen): 4.81 <.40-4.50> T4 Free: .9 <.8-1.8ng> T3 Free: 308 <230-420> Compare those with my labs from 10/8/07 (I had eaten but not taken HC - can't remember if I had had thyroid but I don't think so) TSH: 13.12 <.35-5.50> T4 Free: 1.0 <.8-1.9> T3 Free: 2.6 <2.3-4.2> To my untrained eye it looks like my TSH has come down some, T3 has come up some and T4 is close to the same. It also seems clear that I have a long way to go with my Armour dosage, but no obvious conversion problems since T4 is so low. Here are the rest of my labs from this week: W/EGFR Glucose: 86 <65-99> Urea nitrogen (BUN): 22 <7-25> Creatinine: .96 <.5-1.3> BUN/Creatinine ratio 23 (high) <6-22 (calc)> Sodium: 141 <135-146> Potassium: 4 <3.5-5.3> Chloride: 104 <98-110> CO2: 24 <21-33> Calcium 9.3 <8.6-10.2> DHEA, LC/MS/MS: 174 <142-1410> Cortisol total (8AM, last HC taken was 5mg at 10PM the prior night): 9.5 <(ref. range for 7-9AM) 4-22> Thanks in advance to all lab reading gurus.
