Re; Maybe Hypo? Yippee! I got my panel II results!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. Yesterday I did my panel II through HealthCheckUSA.com and this

morning I got the results! Also I checked this morning my temperature (this is

my day 2 of my cycle) and my temperature was 98.3 (with a digital ear

thermometer which I know is not the most adequate but the only one handy).

TSH Result=2.55, Range should be 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL

T3,Free Result= 3, Range should be 2.0-4.4 pg/mL

T4,Free(Direct)Result= 1.06, Range should be 0.82-1.77 ng/dL

I will take these results to a Dr. I found in the ACAMNET.org list. My

appointment is on the 14 of this month. I will ask him to do an annual test and

hopefully get more lab work done that can help us get a better picture.

I am taking currently about 200 mg of iodine, Real Salt, multi-vitamin, 4000mg

vit C, Selenium 200 mcg , Vit E and B complex.

It seems to me that everything looks good...any thoughts on these results?

I mean everything seems to be in the range so maybe I am not hypo after all?????

I thought I was because before starting the iodine protocol I was super fatigued

and losing hair like crazy, in addition to my past breast and ovary cysts....

Thank you for your help! Letmar.
