Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Jamy Why do you say she's heading t'wd hyper, when her labs say that she's underdosed (T4) at a 1.0? We also have NO T3 in this set of labs, but she says that her former labs the doctor commented were in the low end of " normal " . I just know yer jokin' here!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 > isn't the low TSH and low T4 indicative of central hypo? A low TSH with a low T4 can be indicative of a pituitary problem-- i.e. the pituitary is not sending a message via the TSH for the thyroid to produce more! Anybody else have an opinion?? It would have also helped to have seen a free T3. Another stupid doc for not doing so. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
