Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 In a message dated 8/4/2004 8:58:10 PM Eastern Standard Time, celticangyl@... writes: Ok here are my results...wondering if i should be concerned: TSH 4.161 norms are 0.350-5.500 (two months ago this one was 1.850) T-4 11.5 norms are 4.5 - 12.0 T-3 244(h) norms are 85-205 **this one is high My doc just signed off on it and that was it... I had requested the antibodies and it wasn't done =( which makes me angry.... but I'm not sure what all these results mean? Can anyone help me out here? Hi ...that much change in such a short time should make you concerned! Also, if you are prone to autoimmune disease and those are your results, your doctor should put 2 and 2 together:-) My endocrinologist likes to keep my numbers much closer to the low end vs the high end... My advice would be to get to an endocrinologist...if you tell them about your history with PA, that should be enough for them to realize that you are probably losing thyroid function, and then they will order the antibody test. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and fibromyalgia....

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 When I get his thyroid tested, do I need the one with the reverse T3 or just the Free T3? There are three tests. There's a regular thyroid test Special thyroid with t3's Complete thyroid with reverse t3 Which one seems right? I was thinking about the second one but if its wrong I want to do the right one. I am so concerned about the amount of weight being gained. Before he'd eat anything, now hardly anything. We are going to do Oxypowder over the holiday weekend to see if it helps. But right now, Thyroid and food intolerances seem to look like our best bet. I am so scared he is going to explode! And we don't have a good doc! Altho she does endorse the oxypowder. I am willing to deal with the mess! Any thoughts welcomed. April aprilcullins@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 April, I don't know if this is any help, but I personally have a thyroid problem (hyperthyroidism, multiple nodules, goiter). My endocrinologist usually orders the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), Free T3 and Free T4. I used to be active in a thyroid group, and most of the people there tended to agree that Free T3/Free T4 tests were the most accurate measurement. That said, I have no experience with endocrine testing in regards to Autism, except for the initial testing that my son had with his neuro workup. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 keep using them gracia I am curious..I want to get my thyroid tested this week because I think I may be hypothyroid. My question is this..I recently started eating coconut oil and using Hamalayan salt. I started this because I had a swollen, burning tongue with ridges around the edges and it seems to have helped a good bit...Should I keep using these or stop them a day or so before I have the test run? Thanks, Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Those things will not interfere with any thyroid tests. Do not use them 2 hours before or an hour after taking your meds. cw -- Thyroid test I am curious..I want to get my thyroid tested this week because I think I may be hypothyroid.
