Avatar n tn Ibuprofen is a bloodthinner. They say you arent supposed to take it...only tylenol. Because when you are pregnant the volume of blood in your body increases by 50%. If you were to have an accident, go into preterm labor, etc...you could bleed out and hemmorage. Causing lots of problems!
Avatar f tn Please post the ranges for the T3 and T4 results. Test results and ranges vary from one lab to another, so it is important to always compare results to ranges shown on the lab report. The second thing is that the ranges are far too broad, due to erroneous way they are established. So the existing ranges are not functional for many hypo patients.
8382486 tn?1397856353 What are the reference ranges on your FT3 and FT4? Ranges vary lab to lab, so you have to post ranges with results. Most people take their first dose of Cytomel (T3) along with their levo first thing in the morning. The second dose is usually anywhere from noon to 3:00 pm. Any later than that can disturb sleep. That's a place to start, and then you can play with timing to see what works best for you. You don't have to take T3 on an empty stomach like you do T4.
Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
Avatar n tn TSH, 3rd Generation 0.520 - 5.080 uIU/mL T4 FREE 0.58 - 1.38 ng/dL I presume this is what you need. Thanks for your help.
640719 tn?1277140030 hi juliva, so sorry you are hurting, My doctor told me to take ibuprofen for these kinds of pains, mine weren't / aren't as extreme as yours sound so I haven't bothered and just put up with it but it might just be worth trying that simple solution before going for something more complicated - if you haven't already. Ibuprofen is good for inflamation, according to my doc... good luck, wishing you well!
1148241 tn?1294052796 I recently quit taking Vicodin for my joint pain because I was concerned about liver damage. I have been taking Ibuprofen instead. I've been taking two in the morning and then two in the afternoon. It says don't take longer than 10 days though. I have to take something though. My knees and wrists and fingers hurt too much if I don't. I know you guys aren't Drs but experience counts for something if its what your Dr has told you. What do you guys take?
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard that the dosage is based on your weight? My numbers are perfect, according to the doctor, however, I am always tired, have reflux problems that the gastro doesn't understand why, I am constantly having hard stools, not gaining or losing weight, and getting very frustrated. I keep thinking I need my dosage raised but no one will listen to me. Am I thinking the right way or not? Help! Need your advise.
Avatar f tn A dosage decrease usually means you are maybe going hyper according to the lab tests results. You are on too much medication. According to lab results you are being over medicated. They most likely only ran the TSH and it came back very low. Are you having any symptoms?
Avatar f tn What are the reference ranges on your FT3, FT4 and TPOab? Ranges vary lab to lab, so they have to come from your own lab report.
Avatar m tn I recently started taking Naturethroid. My naturopath has me on 3 pills, each 1/2 grain. She said that this will be my highest dosage and she doesn't think I will need a higher dosage. I find this kind of strange since it's definitely less than the 150 mcg of synthroid I was on before....how is 3 pills of naturethroid enough? Can other people tell me what naturethroid dosage they're on or if they know the average dosage?
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm newly diagnosed hypothyroid. I've been taking 25mg levothyroxine for nearly 8 weeks now but I just feel worse and worse. It's really affecting my day to day life much more than before - I'm a student nurse and am struggling to make it through my shifts on a daily basis. Thinking my dosage is wrong - how long does it take for everything to become stabilised again? Not sure how I'm gunna carry on my nurse training at the moment :-( any comments appreciated.
Avatar m tn So, short term you need to get your Free T4 level up a bit and also get your doctor to prescribe some T3 med to gradually raise your Free T3 level as necessary to relieve symptoms. Since hypo patients are frequently too low in the ranges for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin I also suggest that you get those tested and then supplement as necessary to optimize. D needs to be 55-60. B12 in the upper end of its range, and ferritin should be 70 minimum.
Avatar n tn My doc recently doubled my Armor dosage from 120mg to 240mg taken simultaneously. Has anyone experienced this dramatic of an increase? Wouldn't this be the equivalent of 400mcg of levoxyl or synthroid? Hashi's ...been on Armor about 10 mos...switched from Levoxyl 150mcg to 90mg Armor...upped to 120mg in Nov....now DOUBLED? Any thoughtful opinions would be appreciated...
Avatar n tn Please post the reference ranges for your T3 and T4 tests. Ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report. Also, do they say they are FREE T3 (FT3) and FREE T4 (FT4)? How long before this blood draw had you stopped taking your meds?
Avatar f tn Endo doubles my dosage of tapazole to 30 mg per day. The symptoms slowed down. Now in March I gained weight - 15 lbs, think I am HYPO so I am going to cut down the tapazole and get blood work done. Diet has not changed at all. Is weight gain normal after high dose of tapazole. I think it was extreme for endo to put my dose from 15 to 30 mg per day ? My last reading said 19 - after a month of being at 30 mgs per day. Its two months later - and I gained 15 lbs and feel tired all the time.
Avatar f tn Please let us know your test results and the ranges? Do they test FT3/FT4, as well as TSH? I am not sure what dose would be equivalent. maybe the best person to ask would be your pharmacist. It is usual to have to adjust doses slightly when changing from one brand to another.
Avatar n tn I just came from my dentist and he suggested I take 3 ibuprofen 4 times a day for 3 days to see if it would calm the nerve of a tooth. If it does not, then he suggests a root canal. My main concern is I'm afraid of the stomach problems this might cause. Do I have need to worry? I also take omeprazole to calm my stomach, so am I defeating the purpose? Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn Were FT3 and FT4 tested along with TSH? If so, please post with reference ranges. If not, you should have these tested as soon as possible to see if there are other issues going on (e.g. conversion).
Avatar f tn Should you experience symptoms when you have dosage increase? I have been taking 75mcg for 8 days after increasing from 50 mcg. The lower dosage made me feel dizzy and so tired so endo told me to start 75 mcg. But I have been feeling a little jittery,nauseous and achy all weekend. Is it normal to have this after increase and I should try to tough it out for a few days? Or is this a reaction I should be concerned about it?
Avatar f tn I have been taking 100mcg for years but now my doctor is changing my dosage to 88mcg. My tsh is .0005 and my t4 free is 7.56. Would those levels have caused hair thinning all over my body and hair texture change? My weight has pretty much stayed the same. I'm worried that the lowering of my synthroid will cause hairloss as my hair has just seemed to stablize recently. my doc thinks I have telogen effulvium due to stress in addition to the change in my thyroid.
