Hi, it's Connie ~ it's been a while..

[Guest guest]

I recently went in for some labs and found that my;

T3 Uptake was 22.1

Free T4 (Thyroxine) was 0.60

TSH 38.7

I'm wondering if this is indicitive of my thyroid trying to function?

ie.. with my TSH so high? Reason I'm asking.. is my T3 is now in

range.. it's just my Free T4 is a little low considering a range of

(0.73 - 1.95). Thanks for your thoughts..

Nice to hear from you all again..

ps. I'm feeling great.. lots of energy.. and basically on all fronts

I can think of .. I'm feeling reallllly good..

Other then with what I think is an allergic reaction.. ie.

allergies.. because I've been a little light headed and experiencing

some vertigo and dizziness this past week - what with all the rain in

Tejas!!!

Your T4 is low, it leaves you little for conversion in times of

stress or need. The T3 test is an uptake..what you really need is the

Free T3 test run.. also the range for the T3 would help.

My guess with a high TSH and Low T4 is that the T3 may soon follow ,

so even though you posted you are feeling great, make sur eyou do

follow up labs in 4-6 weeks if not sooner..

This is more indicative that your thyroid is continuing to slide downhill

and is NOT working. Look at that huge Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's

way up there, trying to shake something out of your thyroid that simply

isn't there, so it continues to shake shake shake the thyroid. THAT'S why

the T(Thyroid) S(Stimulating) H(Hormone) is up, thyroid ISN'T working.

That's the way the feedback cycle works, before being on proper thyroid meds

in proper amts.
