Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 , The way they treat thyroid is by giving you replacement thyroid hormones. Ideally they would replace all the hormones your thyroid makes, T1 T2 T3 T4 and Calcitonin, to a level where you feel well. Realistically they try to just give you T4 and hope you will make the T3 from the t3, and often they rely on blood testing to work out if you are on sufficient replacement. Some doctors will listen to how you feel but more and more are relying solely on blood tests. My personal feeling is that these doctors would be better employed as lab technicians, but that's another story.. Are you on replacement hormones? Which ones? How long for? If so, have they been increased? Have you had any tests and if so, do you have the results? Are you in Canada? If you could let us all know your current situation with regard to how you feel and what you're taking then it may be possible to suggest a course of action. . > > I think in Canada the Norma range for the TSH level is as high as 5.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 ( asked me to forward this as her reply bounvced for some reason...) My 3G had a break in the top side but it worked I had put scotch tap eover it as it was near the ear microphone. I had gone to a new CI doctor and did have a N5 implant and the Audi who activated me surprised me with an N3G replacement which was a big help as the new implant is helping restore 60 years of silence which is slowly working quite different in sounds. Taking it one day at a time and to my surprise I can pick up the difference between a man and woman voices which my 21 year old N22 never was able to tell . Still have a way to go with programming this new N% will go back April 7. here in MO Quote of the nanosecond... Do you like me for my brain or my baud? & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...
