Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 HI all, I really need help with ideas of whats going on with me.. I'll list my last blood test results and this time blood results.. I feel like I'm running out of steam and still have most of my symptoms. Most of the symptoms have better than if I weren't taking any meds. , except the nausea is back, I'm nauseated most every day.. I haven't vomitted like I used to but I feel like I'm going to sometimes. This is the first time I've had the RT3 and the antibodies. Blood drawn Aug. 29, 2005 in the morning TSH: .01 normal: 0.34 - 4.82 FT4: 1.78 normal: .80 - 1.80 FT3: 3.8 normal: 2.4- 4.2 Blood drawn Oct. 17, 2005 in the morning TSH: .22 normal .34 - 4.82 FT4: 1.08 normal .08 - 1.80 FT3: 2.6 normal 2.4 - 4.2 RT3: 165 normal 90 - 350 pg/ml thyroid antibodies: very high If you have any thoughts as to what could be going on with me please let me know what the name of the tests are that I could have done to see if it is whatever you might think it is. I feel like crap. thanks take care Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I wonder why you think you need another test? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. (I wish I could be as kind and diplomatic as Kerry!) You need adrenal meds, in order to tolerate more thyroid meds, and you certainly need more thyroid meds. You can self treat, there are books you can read and competent docs you can go to, or you can wait until you are so ill that the tests register something. Even then you may not get the help you need. http://www.geocities.com/thyroide Gracia > HI all, > I really need help with ideas of whats going on with me..

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks for the thought Gracia, but I don't like the idea of self medicating at this point, maybe later.. But I do plan on having my adrenals tested next. Bev > > > I wonder why you think you need another test?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 hi Bev, The fact that your antibodies are very high (you didn't give numbers) is enough reason for your doc to be concerned. nausea in my experience is a sign that your liver is struggling - or its possible its digestive but more likely liver IMO. At a guess I would say that you need adrenal help - It is no mystery to me that you are still suffering so much - you are under medicated with thyroid hormone and you are not treating your adrenals - and I don't know if you are on prescription drugs at all but they will be interfering as well if you are. I'm not sure what else you are doing to support your health - what vitamins and supplements do you take? There is nothing wrong with getting more tests if you have a doctor who understands how to use them - and who also treats according to your symptoms - find one of these! For me personally I agree 100% with Gracia - After having hundreds of blood tests over the years - I have had very few tests that a doctor has usefully interpreted and used to treat me. Its a waste of time and money for the most part. I'm only trying to save you money and heartache - every year I have been sick because I couldn't get proper help has cost me a fortune from not being able to work - I'm sure many of us are in the same boat - it does not dispose me very favourably to doctors who do not give me what I am paying them to give me.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks Kerry for your info. I don't have the numbers yet on the antibodies, I will Fri. That's my appt. I do take alot of vitamins, I take presription meds. other than armour but I do take them about 12 hours later and for my vitamins I take them not less than 4 hours later. I do agree also. I just need some info and proof to take to my doc. on Friday. I don't self medicate, not at this time. I don't feel I have exausted all of my avenues. thanks Bev > > hi Bev, > The fact that your antibodies are very high (you didn't give numbers) is > enough reason for your doc to be concerned. > > nausea in my experience is a sign that your liver is struggling - or its > possible its digestive but more likely liver IMO.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi Bev, I didn't mean the timing of your prescription meds - I meant that most prescription meds (if not all) cause some side effects - how do you know that some of what you are suffering is not due to this? Drugs are usually treating symptoms which could be eliminated with proper treatment for the actual cause of the problem - and in most cases (not all) they are bad for your immune system and your health in general - so if it was me I would be researching a lot to find out if the medications are only band aiding symptoms that properly belong to Hypothyroid or low adrenal or whatever - a prime example is high cholesterol - it is a symptom of low thyroid and before treating it with drugs a doctor should rule out low thyroid - otherwise you are just complicating the problem....

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Kerry, I take vytorin. I just started taking it about May of this year, I've had the symptoms for about 12 years to 6 years.. The other drug I take is trazodone. I've taken it since 1986. I went off of it for 2 years and still had the symptoms..So, I really don't think it is that at all. Thanks for the thought though.
