Uh is your doc living in a box? Grrr Now if the Ft4 and Ft3 are high,

then you can have hyperthyroidism, which causes calcium loss.

So, you're saying that the calcium loss doesn't have anything to do the

a low TSH, right?

thanks

You might want to refer her to the recommendations of the American

Society of Endocrinologists and the National Academy of Clinical

Biochemists:

F%2Fwww.nacb.org%2Flmpg%2Fthyroid_LMPG_PDF.stm

and to some of the papers here:

http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/osteoporosis.htm

It might be more accurate to state that chronic hyperT is likely to be

associated with loss of bone density, but TSH should be considered just

an indicator, which can be way off, especially in someone on thyroid

medications.

Disagree. Ask the endo for the scientific studies that prove that. She

is equating a low TSH with hyperthyroidism, and they do not equate.

Thanks Chuck,

Yes, she said I was hyper, but I told I was not and I have hypo

symptoms and she seems to think I have hyper symptoms meaning a lot

of them are the same she said........I go in the morning to get new

blood work and I'll see myself what I think I am......

I find this to be an interesting topic and plan to look into it. Years

ago I was diagnosed as having hypothroidism, but do not fit the

typical physial description. Have you all found any other links that

could be considered in getting info? Thanks in advance.

Bev, Please keep us updated. I am very curious to see what happens. (I

am still preparing for my Endo appt on the 29th but my doc was all a

mess on the hyper vs hypo, bloodwork vs symtpoms thing too.)

it is my opinion that you risk osteoporosis on synthetic thyroid meds. Armour

has calcitonen in it, which fixes calcium to bone. Vitamin D and DHEA are also

important. Does your doc know what DHEA and calcitonen do? I would think

not. Big Pharma is going to market a version of DHEA for osteoporosis

treatment, costing $100-150 per month, but right now you can buy the same thing

at HFS for $5.
