Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi, I got my labs back from my Dr. Free t3 was 3 and Free t4 is .97, Tsh was .5 So the flutters are not from too much thyroid. My previous t4 was 1.17 before though so if its .09 doesnt that mean its down? The Dr said I should go down to taking it every other day again or just 5 days a week and leave it off on the weekends. What do you guys think? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 You are asking for direct medical advice, which we cannot give. I would suggest that you ask your doc to investigate the reason for your intolerance for a suitable dose of thyroid hormone. Two tests to ask for are serum ferritin and 8 am cortisol or four saliva cortisol tests. >> Hi, > > I got my labs back from my Dr. > > Free t3 was 3 and Free t4 is .97, Tsh was .5> So the flutters are not from too much thyroid.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ranges will help, because the TSH is the only standard range. Why does the doctor want you to go down? What about ferritin and am cortisol?
