What you do when the patient dies URINE: The opposite of "You're out!

thyroid antibodies would be good to test in addition to Free T3 and Free T4. Good luck!

Any particular hormone testing I should ask for or just the general --- then again, what is the general????

74/ About 5 weeks later my TSh is 1.73 Free t3 is 2.7 nad the Free T4 is 1.04 I have been off and off the snythoird her eand ther not taking it regular missed a week, since my it was making me feel terrible nad the dr had me go off for a week. I am now getting all kinds of viral infecitons, does snythorid play in that?> It looks to me like myabe I need more Free T3 I am going to ask him about that and maybe taking a natrual form like armor that has both t3 and t4.

A doctor must always look at the free T4 and free T3 thyroid hormone levels. He should consider them significant when both are below the mid-point of their reference ranges in a symptomatic patient, and they certainly represent hypothyroidism when both in the lower third of their population ranges, regardless of the TSH.

I just finished downloading the Firefox Browser and am loving the spelling checker. You can even add on a medical dictionary to the spelling checker. I also added a reminder add-on that seems really great as well. Maybe now I won't forget to take out my trash on garbage day like I do so often when I get busy on the Internet in the morning.

Depends on the blood test. One only looks for the hormone and one tests the exact amount in your blood. (can't remember the exact names of them at the moment though) The first one can be wrong, while the other is rarely wrong unless a lab error was done.

TSH 1.97, T3 Total: 201,T-3 uptake 23, T-4 Free 1.3,T-4 Total 17.9, Free T4 index 4.1. (testosterone,free 0.37) Feb 2009: TSH 2.02, T-4 Total 17.4, Free T4 index 4.2 (all others WNL) The ANA titer was (+) but the ANA panel was “negative” except for Centromere B antibody was positive @1.0. I was referred to my PCP to discuss “mild thyroid dysfunction” she repeated my TSH 6 weeks later which was reported as “normal, no other thyroid levels were taken.

My son was born at 33+3, so my previous ob said with subsequent pregnancies I will need weekly hormone shots to prevent preterm labor. I am now 12+4 with my second child. In 1.5 weeks I see a doctor (I usually see a midwife) to discuss preterm labor prevention. Anyone have experience with pregnancy after having a preemie? What sort of side effects do the hormone shots have?

I felt amazing after taking the Levothyroxine (50mcg once daily) but began feeling really run a few weeks later so she ordered a full work up and included the TSH within Reflex to FT4 and free T3. Comparing the results, they both lowered TSH w/reflex is now 1.73 and my free T3 is 2.9. Per labs this is still within normal range albeit the lower end for Free T3. My doctor is out of the office for the week and I thought to come here for some insight as I am completely new to this.

feel free to message or add me if you need someone to talk to ok...

you can use a dictionary, especially a medical dictionary on line :-)

About 13 months ago I had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor and I am now on full hormone replacement. For the most part my recovery has gone great. However, I believe I do have problems with either the dosage (.125mg) of my thyroid hormone or the drug itself (levoxyl). I have an endocrinologist that has been with me since the surgery and they refuse to change anything because my T4 level is in the "normal" range at 1.5.

i was told my labs showed a free ts4 of only 7 but my tsh was within normal--my question is,,,can that low free ts4 cause symptoms or no because the tsh was within norm low but normal,,i seem to have symptoms and one clinic doc said we could try sinthroid at low dose-but fam doc and internest that was looking into my heart palpitations said no-- your normal no need for meds just keep an eye on it..what do you guys think???

Hey Girl cuddos to you your free again...just try not to rush things and remember there will be both good days and bad I got threw it I also took it all the way down but today i think i would jump off at 5mg insted of torchering my self threw it again keep posting on your progress good luck and God bless.....by the way keep up with the whey protein it really help you recover faster...........

So the TSH is 197- no decimal point? WOW! I think the link I sent you talks about free vs. total testosterone. Hopefully someone else here has been through the hormone testing and can give you better advice. I just know what I learn in the lab and don't have personal experience with these tests. It's complicated!

I suggest you should go ahead with the hormone therapy. it has proven to be effective - it decreases the disease free interval, the survival rate and decreases the chances of recurrence and spread of cancer. Do keep us posted on how you are doing. Good luck and best wishes.

A good thyroid doctor will treat a hypothyroid patient clinically, for symptoms, by testing and adjusting Free T4 and Free T3 levels as needed to relieve hypo symptoms. Symptom relief should be all important, not just test results. You can read all about this in the following link.
