Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Hi Luci, Yes, your elevated TSI suggests that your eye disease is active. TSI antibodies cause the congestive autoimmune form of thyroid eye disease. The disclaimer just says that the method was originally developed by Quest/Nichols and that this method, like many similar methods, does not require FDA approval. This doesn't mean that anything is wrong with this test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 T3, Free 482 PG/DL 230 - 420 There are a few other things that came back high but I'm not even sure what they are.. ALBUMIN, and ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE Hi Luci- The high T3 is bothersome-maybe the new doct can get more beta blockers for you. T3s are the ones that do the most damage so I look to keep those in line first. Depending on how you feel - the other results are looking admirably! My homeopath commented on my high ALK PHOSPHATE and suggested I soak in hot hot Epson salt baths which I did. It helped draw out the acid from my skin (maybe the rest too). What the H?!! is with doctors anyway? My former doctor tried to tell me he knew more about radiation than I do - even though I've studied nuclear designs for the last 30 years! . . oh, oh, that's right - he got his information from the medical books.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Sherry, Thanks for the reply... I have never been on beta blockers.. so probably any amount would be better than none.. Hopefully this new Doc can get a handle on why I feel soooo bad.. I think that if I don't get help soon I'm going to end up Fat, Bald and Blind...
