Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 The weird labs WERE a mistake!!!! I feel soooo relieved!!! I just got results from a different laboratory, and they look just as they should (I think!). I also was carefull to let 12 hours pass between the last T3 dose and the blood draw: at 37.5 T3 (12/13 hours after last T3 dose); 27.5 HC: TSH: less than 0.01 uU/ml (0.3-4.5) Total T4: 2.28 ug/dl (4.5-12.0) Free T4: 0.29 ng/dl (0.71-1.9) Total T3: 2.68 ng/ml (0.8-2.0) Free T3 : 3.88 pmol/L (2.63-5.7) I think these labs are in accordance with how I feel. I feel better that before rT3 cleared 7 weeks ago, but I still feel somewhat hypo and I'm putting on weight by the day (before rT3 cleared I was loosing weight quite quickly). When rT3 cleared I was on 75 T3 and the labs came hyper, so I went down to 50, labs were still hyper (however I only let 7-8 hours between the last T3 dose and labs, I don't know if this is too little time). Now, if the timing between last T3 dose and the blood draw (12/13 h.) is correct) I think there is room for an increase in T3, am I right? should I go up to 50 or 43.75? Very thankful and relieved!
