Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here's Val's reply to someone who had the same TSH as you: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/39920 Val said a TSH of " .00 anything is too low " , from her post: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/40610 > > > > val, > i wasnt sure where to post this follow-up... > initially adrenal-related, but these are thyroid labs... (i posted this to the adrenals, but i'm not sure it went through, so i'll post here too, just in case).i had initially questioned if i should start weaning HC, having surpassed the 12week mark and getting odd symptoms. > i since ordered labwork (from 2 different companies)... a thyroid profile and an iron panel. > went to the lab on fri 6/11, and the thyroid results are in, but there is a messup with the iron labs (think the lab sent them to the wrong company and they were just discarded... not sure, but i have to figure it out with both companies tomorrow.) > anyway, here are the thyroid labs: > tsh .005 (.45-4.5) > T3 4.7 (2-4.4) > T4 .07 (.82-1.77) > i was on 62.5mcg t3, i am taking 25mg Hc, on a few days when i was emotional/shaky/anxious, and when i had that clear adrenal ache/pain, i stress dosed an extra 2.5mg. > looking back on my labs right before the 12 week mark (done 5/20), my t3 was 5.4... and i was on 50mcgT3. > i would love your input on this, but doesnt the really low Tsh say my body isnt tolerating the t3 appropriately, for whatever reason? > also, do you think that this also means some clearance happend, bc the t3 is lower in my blood than before when i was on a higher dose of t3?? > not sure what the t4 means, is that a good value? esp compared to my last t4 value of .16? > i am now 2 days into my period, and it is rather heavy, which it has been the last couple months on t3only, and my pms symptoms are bad. (think that might've been the swollen breasts and tenderness?) > but despite me having started my period, my temp averages are stable at 99.0 (i was expecting them to drop when my period started) > > wonder why the consistant high temps? > aldosterone?... > i have been having clear hot flashes (sweating, +irritable, on edge), and i cant tell if it is an adrenaline thing, an aldosterone thing, or a high cortisol thing? it has been more in the morning/afternoontime.... > just for more info, here are my bp readings for last few days: > today, about an hour ago, sitting 118/86, hr:94 > standing 98/74, hr:105 > today, just now, sitting 110/71, 85 > standing 113/70, 106 > yst, sit 105/70, 71 > stand 91/70, 97 > sat, sit 112/73, 89. > stand 91/70, 97 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
