Re: question on Thyriod test/ T4 total

[Guest guest]

Dimonds girl, it could be that your a bit hyperthyroid, I remember

you saying that you were very thin, but I also know that you have

recently put on some weight and were happy about being more of a

normal size now so not sure. Are you hugnry allot? Do you find

yourself not sleeping well and having other symptoms like rapid heart

beat? Anxiety? I don't know what to do about the hair loss, I am

having it too and I know it has to be related to my thyroid. I got

more blood tests last week so I a anxiously awaiting the results. I

know that I was hyper for awhile and this made my hair come out and

made me feel hungry all the time and had a hard time sleeping too. I

would love to know what natural things you can do for hyperthyroidism

since I don't really like the medical alternatives to treat this at

all. I am hoping mine will straighten out without having to do

anything about it. I would love to know if anyone has any ideas about

what to do for this with natural remedies? Anyhow, that is the only

thing I can offer on this subject right now. When I find out my

latest labs I will let you all know. I am sorry for your family

health issues right now, it sucks on top of all the other crap that

you are going through to have to deal with that too. I am sorry.

take care

Dimonds,

I am sorry to hear about the stress you have been under! I hope everything is under control with the family members complications. Wow, triple bypass surgery, Yikes, not a good scene at all.

That's weird that your T4 would be high while everything else is normal. Don't understand that one, but I can do some checking around about it. I have a Pilates class this morning, so I won't be back on the group for awhile today.

Subject: question on Thyriod test/ T4 total

Hello all!!! I would like to ask you all a question. Recently I had my thyriod tested. My TSH,T3 Uptake, and T4 free calculated were all normal...BUT my T4 was SLIGHTLY high..supposed to be 4.5-12.0 and was 12.2 The dr. says things are fine. BUT I still think they are missing something with me that is thriod related??? I was tested fro Hoshimotos about 2 yrs ago. Having lotsa trouble getting proper ttests. I don't have good coverage. Any feedback would be great. ALSO my hair has been coming out for over 3 yrs. I am about 2 and ahalf years post explant. Cannnot figure out his hair thing. I am not sure IF my health would ever be 100%, but just really miss my hair. Be well to you all!!!!!!!!!! dimonds 68 PS if you don't see me posting much, it is because a close family memeber just had an emergency triple bypass surgery and had complications. Dealing with this illness is so tough,and then adding other problems are tougher. I am just becomiming self sefficient, and now I am so scared, becasue now I must take care of someone else too. I think the stress is killing me..Thanks for listening! xooxoxo
