Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi everyone, I joined this group in hopes of hope...I'm sure you get this all the time, but I am so sick of being tired. I was diagnosed as "mildly" hypo in '99 and put on .10mg of Synthroid a day and have been on that ever since. I also had gastric bypass in '01. No one seems to get that how could my dose stay the same when I've had a malabsorptive surgery???? Grrrr. They all say the same-that my TSH is normal and that's all that matters. I can give them the symptoms I still display till I'm blue in the face and it doesn't matter. This is just a family practice doc btw... Well now I finally have a new doc that I feel will listen to me, so I'm trying to learn more to present my case to him. I have always seen doc on military bases too btw...But this doc knows I'm very proactive in my healthcare and he encourages that-shocking!!! It's just that I've focused on my health based on my bypass for so long and making sure all my blood work was right from that. Well it is-so something else is precipitating this fatigue and other whatnots and all it can be is thyroid related. I don't have much blood work that they've released to me, but I keep what I have in a Excel spreadsheet-it's how I track all my "trends" in my blood work. I'll have to demand all past figures and plug them in, but here's what I've got from '01 on every 6 months... TSH .3 - 5.1 1.973 1.915 4.35 1.284 0.688 1.412 T4 (thyroxin) 4.4 - 12.5 0.91 T3 Uptake 20.0 - 38.5 TSH-TA (.46-4.68) 2.6 6.44 2.6 0.688 TSH Sensitive 1.41 0.86 ____________________________ in *HHH* Jerseyopen proximal rny 9/18/015'9"-31yo297/168I'm not a doc-in real life or otherwise.***HHH=hot, hazy, & humid!!!
