Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm sorry I didn't ask this sooner and now the Endo appt for my 2 girls is tomorrow! LM, who you've seen pictures of, is on Iodoral. LM is 11 & weighs 50 lbs or so. I was thrilled that her goiter went away in a month. But she had blood work done & the endo was not pleased. As you've said recently , her TSH went UP on Iodoral. 10/08/07 TSH 0.040 Free T4 1.03 (0.50-1.60) This doc refuses to do FT3 12/18/07 TSH 6.260 FT4 0.67 So since her TSH went up so much her dr was alarmed I told him about the iodine. He said that's probably what caused it. He told me to stop giving it to her, which I did not. He told me he'd have to up her thyroid meds. That's OK with me, as long as he switches her to armour. LM also had TSH & FT4 on 1/8/08 but I won't have those number till I see him tomorrow. So, what do I say about the increase TSH? Is it really necessary to increase thyroid med? You said Dr. B has people whose TSH goes way up for months....then comes down. Does he treat elevated TSH? (I'm thinking this is a stupid question even as I type it out). LM does not seem hypo to me at 6.260. What should we do with her dose of thyroid? In looking at the Armour site, I think she should start on 15 mg now. But I'll need to find someone to order FT3 & FT4. TIA for your help! B God Bless America! One nation under God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
