Weird thyroid labs!!!! Please help.

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I've been a member of this group for about a year

now but I haven't been very active lately. Well today, I could

really use your help. I have Hashimoto's and I am on 8 tablets of

Isocort daily and I've been taking 4 (25 mcg) tablets of Cytomel

since July. Well even at that amount, my Free T3 results came back

low normal.

The weird thing is, prior to that, I was on 2.5 (25 mcg) tablets and

my Free T3 was kind of high. So I was really surprised to find out

that now it's low. Also, I've noticed my antibodies have decreased

too. I don't understand why my free T3 would have decreased on more

Cytomel and why my antibodies went down even though my free T3 went

lower. My TSH is even higher than it was in July, yet my antibodies

still went down. I am completely baffled!

Could someone please look at my labs below and compare them to the

last? Maybe you can help shed some light as to why this would have

occurred. I have a doctor's appt on Monday and I really don't know

what to tell him. He's going to want to know what's going on. So

far he's been a great doc and very patient when I asked him to put

me on Cytomel but I'm not sure how long this will continue,

especially with the weird labs.

So I'm looking forward to getting your thoughts or opinions. Thanks

so much! Labs below...
