Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Okay folks: Here are my blood test results: (I'm not on any thyroid hormone) Ferritin: 23.7 (It had been 86 until a heavy period last month caused this drop and now I am currently bleeding heavy again. Could this ferritin level be causing anemia? I am feeling very very weak and have to keep lying down. Thyroxine: (T4) result: 8.0 ref range: 6.0-12.0 Total T3- result: 110 ref range: 87-178 Free T4- result 0.8 ref range: 0.6-1.7 Free T3 result: 2.84 ref range: 2.39- 6.79 Reverse T3- result: 27 ref range: 11-32 TPO- result 55 ref range: 0-34 Thyroglobulin antibody: <20.0 ref range: 0-20 (Does this mean these antibodies are clear? because they were slightly elevated awhile back.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 It looks like yes, you have antibodies for Hashis and your reverse T3 is high while Free T3 and T4 are on the low end. You look hypo to me. Cheri GOT THE LABS!!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 YEAH. Well nothing to celebrate except clarification. You have low iron which I am certain causes some of your problems taking thyroid, and Hashi's. Definitely. You are also quite HYPOTHYROID, and you have too high RT3. The RT3 issue may also be why you react violenetly to any thyroid containing T4. Your ratio of T3 to RT3 is 10.52 needs to be at least 19. I would suggest after working the IRON up a bit doing a three month stint of T3 only. Try to clear out the receptors then you should actually feel better.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Val, I just got back from the ER. I left right after I posted the labs. I am bleeding too heavily and have become anemic. I am so weak. I just read your post but Beau is coming to take me to this house so gotta run now.....Please tell me where to order T3 only. Thanks for everything I feel very hypo now but I believe methimazole did this to me. I was not like this before that. Re: GOT THE LABS!! YEAH. Well nothing to celebrate except clarification.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi all, I'm finally back home. I am pretty sick and messed up. I guess I never knew how bad hypoT could feel until now. I wanted to run some symptoms by and see if these can be both anemic and hypo because I was at the ER last night because I just keep bleeding and my friend made me go because I was passing clots as big as an orange. Here are my current symptoms: Very depressed cognitive dysfunction (can't think straight) very irritable very weak, esp. in muscles/legs are very restless coordination is off, e.g. in my walking Discomfort in joints of hands and fingers and lots of weakness in arms and hands very anxious very tired and want to sleep can only do little things 10 minutes at a time and need to lay down I swear I started feeling like I had MS yesterday. Can hypoT mimick symptoms of MS? Picked up iron this morning and will work on getting ferritin up. Ordered T3 and will begin small doses. Thanks, Re: GOT THE LABS!! YEAH.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I have had all these sympotoms form hypo and hypocortisol.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 >>What does it mean when you have high reverse T3?<< It means that your body is not able to convert T4 to T3 properly for many reasons. Or you have too much T4 in your body that cannot be utilized so it converts it to RT3 as a means of lowering it. It happens wiht high OR low cortisol. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 , I would imagine that if you can get the ferritin taken care of and manage to take the T3, you are going to feel so much better. It will take time with both, but keep at it. K > Hi all, > > I'm finally back home. I am pretty sick and messed up. I guess I never knew how bad hypoT could feel until now.
