New test results what do you think?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My GP agreed to take the extra tests, and from my unknowledgable eyes except

for my T4 everything looks ok. I would love to know from any of you who have

more knowledge can tell me !!

Thank you so much,

Dena

Unless you are already taking a thyroid medication, these are generally good

numbers. FT4 at the bottom of the range has been documented to affect mood.

However, the other results suggest that any hypoT symptoms are probably being

caused by something else. FT3 is the most critical, and it is slightly below the

middle. If you are not on medication, that is likely a circadian variation. If

you are on a medication, you would probably feel better with a bit higher dose.

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for your input. I am not on any medications, my sodium level is low,

so my GP is thinking of checking out my adrenals, a few of the symptoms can be

from my Multiple Sclerosis, but maybe the T4 is what is causing my out of

nowhere anxiety and tears. Thanks’ so much to all who have helped me.

Are you on replacement therapy? To me it looks like your FreeT3 is low, as well

as your Free T4, if you are taking thyroid hormone. The first should be close to

the top of the range and the second about the middle or a little above.

Good idea. Adrenal anomalies (and dieting and pregnancy) can affect binding of

T4, which could result in both FT3 and FT4 being lower than optimal. I am not

aware of MS directly causing this, but that is a complex issue. Did you hear

there have been several very recent breakthroughs in drugs for MS? My

son-in-law's sister has the condition.

One year when I suddenly got those exact symptoms, I went to my Rheumatologist

and he gave me B12 injections that I could do myself at home. They were very

easy to do, did not hurt and all the equipment as well as the B12 was filled at

the drugstore with his rx. It worked, and the symptoms subsided and went away,

(not on day one, but over a couple of weeks) By the time I was on them (once a

week) for about two months, I didn't need them anymore and stopped.

Hi Roni,

I am glad your rheumatologist tested your B12 levels, I know that can cause many

issues that mimic many illnesses, including neurological, my B12 levels are good

thankfully. In my opinion B12, and D levels should be one of the first things

doctors check when a patient comes in with neurological and emotional issues. I

am happy you do not have to take it anymore, I guess one of the symptoms of MS

can be some emotional issues depending on when the lesions are.
