Hiya Keisha, Here's the link to the response I sent you about your lab results.

I think I responded right after you posted!!!

I guess you just overlooked it. Or could be I didn't put your name in the

subject line. But anyway, just click on the link to see what I wrote!!! Take

care, my friend! Hugs, Sheila

Hello Dana,

I would just tell your doctor that you think that you are wanting to try

another med to see if you feel better- I just recently told my doctor the same

thing and he did it- Tell him you just yet are not feeling 100 percent better

and you want to try something new- If he doesnt want to listen to you then I

would recommend a second opinion. I Just posted some lab work here a few days

ago and I still havent got any responce yet- so, I have no clue what my lab work

means--lol-- take care - keisha

Ok guys forgive me!

I know I just asked on my labs from Dec. But now I have new ones. My notion

that doctors know best is just about gone!

I know most people has recommended me be on Armour and I am ready to try it.

I am making an appointment for this Monday to see my family doc and if I

give him good reasoning he will probably give it to me.

The endo is out! I'm sick of that whole damn place!

I just got my lab report in the mail. They didn't even check my T3.

TSH 0.28 (0.27 - 4.20)

FT4 1.35 (.93 - 1.70)

Comments from the nurse practioner: I think @ 137 mcg daily this will be too

low. Instead try alternating 137/150mcg every other day.

I have been on 150mcg synthroid since Oct. 03 until they switched me to

137mcg twice a week back in dec. On 1/22/04 I convinced her to drop me to

only 137mcg a week ago because I thought I was having Hyper symptoms and now

I get this note today. I am continuing to feel crummy since last Feb so I

don't see how that is going to help me. Does anyone else?

I really want to try Armour but since I have insurance I would rather get it

prescribed if I can, it will be cheaper plus I need to keep getting my tests

Please give me good points that I can bring up to my doc on Monday to why I

should switch based on my test results. I know a lot of info is out there

for me to research and believe me I do, but I have a hard time retaining a

lot. Plus it's hard for me to worry about too many things at once. The docs

just discovered a lump in my 26 year old brothers prostate and my attentions

has been focused on that this last week.

What test should I ask him to send me for?

Thank you and God bless you all!
