Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Your TSH is way too high, needs to be under 1.00 close to zero if you have hashi's. Your frees are also way too low. Going on the ranges your Free T3 needs to be close to 420 and Free T4 a little higher. The T4 converts into T3, if it's low there's less to convert You also have a lot of hypo symptoms still. You may also do better on Armour which has T3 in it as well as the T4 and T1 and T2 + calcitonin which protects your bones................Meleese In Oz xxx -------Original Message------- From: atrusty2003 OK.. this was my bloodwork when I was taking 75 mcg of Synthroid. After these test results my endocronologist upped the dosage to 100 mcg. I don't understand why though. T-4 Free is 1.1 (reference range 0.8-1.8 nq/dL) Says this is in range TSH 2.35 mlU/L(?) (reference range is 0.40-5.50) says it's in range T3-Free 209 L (reference range 230-420 pg/dL(?)) says it's out of range I'm reading off of a fax so the measurements (i.e. dl etc) may be wrong but the numbers are correct. So, if I'm reading this right... wouldn't just upping the T4 (i.e. Synthroid) not be what my body needs? I'm struggling with dizziness constantly, hear ringing in my ears and am just tired all the time... and it hasn't improved with the new dosage.. in fact, I think I feel worse. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I just have a quick comment. I am hashi's, I am 32 years old at age 21 i was diagnosed, and was on synthetic thyroid replacement (levothyroxine) and every year it went up in doses, and I never felt better. I never heard of armour untill I joined this group a year ago. I did my research and found a doctor that prescribes armour over the synthetics and since then even though I havent leveled out as of yet, I am feeling MUCH MUCH better. My next blood test will show I am doing good I am pretty sure because I havent felt this good since I was 18. (I really know what it feels like to feel really bad, for the past year and half I litteraly have felt like I was dying, like something wasnt working in sync inside my body.) but since they upped my dose to 2grains I have felt a wonderful improvement.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 There's a point there. Disease or bad health feeds on stress. Stress comes from lifestyle choices or the inability to let stuff go. I've had the hardest time trying to quit worrying about stuff, it does no good. I've got it almost licked, but I sometimes find myself falling back into the same old pattern. Am a work in progress!

There are many other scriptures, particularly the ones that wrote. The consuming fires of hatred and remorse contribute their parts to physical illnesses, more so probably more than any other thing. Then there is the environment and what's sitting on our genetic codes. Re: Need advice... got my bloodwork I understand that we don't all have the same spiritual beliefs, nor do we all have the same sickness or prognosis. However, yesterday would have been my bestfriend's 33rd birthday but since she's no longer here, I had to celebrated without her. And since we are all still here, LET'S SPEAK LIFE... Proverbs 18:14 (Whole Chapter) A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? 10:19 (Whole Chapter) Woe to me because of my injury! My wound is incurable! Yet I said to myself, "This is my sickness, and I must endure it." WWW.BIBLE.COM All-new Yahoo! Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.
