Re: Lab results

[Guest guest]

I have no idea just from these numbers. I'm guessing there must be other

numbers on that lab report somewhere. With protein, the only numbers we can

really understand are either 24 hour proteinuria (from a 24 hour urine

collection, in which case, it should state 24 hour protein somewhere, plus

usually creatinine clearance too), or, protein/creatinine ratio (which is

from a simple spot urine sample).

Thanks very much. I don't know what the other numbers are. Just

know that the protein and blood were high, came down with the start

of Enalapril and are now back up. Medication amount will probably be

increased along with addition of ARB. Thanks again.

Hi Elaine,

Sorry to hear that your son's protein has increased. That happened

with Elisabet too. She started on an ACE and it worked for a

while, and then the protein went up and then her neph increased the

dosage and it worked for a while, and then the protein went up, etc.

After he increased it to the point where she couldn't tolerate it

anymore, he switched her to an ARB and that worked very well for quite

a while. Her neph also talked about using an ACE and an ARB together,

but with her protein climbing again, he decided at that point to try

pred.

I hope the ARB works well for your son. Elisabet tolerates the ARB

much better than the higher doses of the ACE (which made her really

wiped out and tired). She's still on the ARB in fact.

Keep us posted on what the neph decides,

B., Elisabet's mom

Thanks, . The neph really doesn't want to take steriods at

all if it can be avoided, which is what I am hoping. He's already

taking naps and falling asleep earlier than usual - this is very

unusual of . Today he called from school crying about a pain in

his back " where my biopsy " was. The biopsy was almost four months

ago so I know it's not from that. Tried to explain that it could be

flank pain (I'm really learning a lot on this site). Also tried to

explain that with Iga there is no black or white, just a whole lot of

gray!

Thanks for the support.

Hi Elaine,

I'm sorry to hear was in pain. Like you, I can't imagine that being

connected with the biopsy. If that pain doesn't go away pronto, do get it

checked out, OK? There are exceptions, but flank pain is generally not so

severe it pushes you to the point of tears. It also doesn't tend to show up

early in renal disease.

Your references to " no black or white " had me smiling. got his

dander up about the docs stating he had MPGN 3 instead of type unknown. I

ended up saying " well, it's kind of like turquoise. Turquoise is blue

green, right? We're agreed that the turquoise from Albuquerque is bluegreen

right? But what about my Tibetan turquoise? Would you call that (very sky

blue) turquoise blue green? What about the bath room towels? Those are

blue green, right? But would you call them turquoise colored? Biopsies are

kind of like that - is it blue green or is it turquoise? "

Hope feels better.

Cy

Thanks, Cy. He's feeling much better this evening. I think he got

himself into a bit of a panic. He's still at the stage where he

wants to know but doesn't want to know. And, like us, he's still

learning about all of this.

Thanks for the support.

If he is actively learning about it this early - to any extent - that's a

really positive. It took a good ten months before he even

acknowledged the diagnosis might be right. Four months post biopsy, all

his energy was focused on cursing out his docs and argueing.

Hmmm yep... you're in 'normal range' alright.... for someone that doesn't

understand thyroid care and are using a TSH range that was change 3 1/2

years ago.

According to the levels where 'most folks' feel decent...

Your Free T4 is too low

Your Free T3 is too low, and can't get any better unless your dosage is

increased to all the Free T4 to come up to a level which will give you

enough to convert to the T3 that you need.

Your TSH is OVER the top end of the range. The range is .3 to 3.0.

...... anything over 3.0 is HYPO... anything over 2.0 is cause for further

testing to determine what is wrong.

From your Frees, your dosage is too low.

As for the carpal tunnel..... Tendon issues are a common symptom of

insufficient thyroid hormone levels, I'd dealing with that right now....

I'll keep this as short as I can.....

I was under docs care, with increasing symptoms, being given Synthroid,

at too small a dose. I developed plantar faciitis in my right foot, which

my doc was SURE in explaining to me that it was a life long, permanent,

untreatable condition brought about by the fact that I was irresponsible

enough to all myself to get too fat and by being too fat (from over

eating and lack of exercise). I was told to take ibuprophen every four

hours to reduce the pain, a list of exercises that were supposed to help

loosen the tendons and might reduce the level of the pain and told to

lose weight.... Oh.. he gave me a note for my boss.. I was to be given

sit down work for two weeks or he'd be calling it a worker's comp issue

and pull me out of work.....

I was soon on crutches and ended up needing them for 3 years. As time

passed the tendons up the back of that leg became involved and then it

worked it's way up into my back and both hips... I literally couldn't go

to the toilet without crutches.....

Okay... that bad.... never got better... kept getting worse.....

Until I read that it happens to be a pretty common symptom of under

treated hypothyroidism......

Four years ago, this month, I gave up on the docs and went out on my own

and started self treating, using natural thyroid (no... I'm not saying

that natural is the answer for everyone, bear with me) within just a few

months I was off the crutches and walking on my own..... The pain was

gone... foot, leg, back, hips... all gone... It took time to work on

strength and endurance again.... but I was back to be a bi-ped...

Now..... here we are in a situation where I was running low on my natural

and started supplementing with synthetic T4 It took five-odd months for

the trouble to start... but low and behold... the right leg again....

Didn't even put it all together for a few more weeks until the tendons

started seizing....

So... my reason for mentioning this..... Tendon issues can definitely be

a sign of under treated hypo, as in hormone levels too low. Get the

hormone levels up..... Free T4 and Free T3 UP and the TSH down and these

tendon issues go away... of course depending on how long the damage has

been going on....

I've run across far too many articles and comments made that the

'epidemic' of repetitive stress injuries are not so much the job or

routine of the activity but the exaggeration of injury in a person that

is hypo and because of the low hormone levels and the decreased ability

of the body to compensate for the use of muscles tendons and joints. That

means that a hypo body gets hurt more easily and has a harder time

healing from injury.

Your back spasms..... I had those too..... they went away once I got

enough hormone into my body... of the type that my body can use... It

turns out that my body isn't able to utilize synthetic very well at

all... that got confirmed with the tendon involvement again when I

started using synthetic again....

I think you need to get your dosage up... work on getting your thyroid

hormone levels up and that TSH down.... and, personally, I'd work on that

BEFORE I'd let them start cutting me up.....

all my humble opinion, of course....

Hi I see that replied to you, I just want to say I am sooooo sorry that you have been getting such appalling medical care, stick with this group and you can get well!!..................Meleese in Oz xxx

-------Original Message-------

From: amymemom

I am soooo tired of being told - "your lab results are normal"...I just

wish I felt as normal as they seem to think I am..

Here are the results of my labs - blood drawn before taking Synthroid...

T4 Free 1.0 (0.8-1.8 NG/DL)

T3 Free 236 (230-420 PG/DL)

TSH 4.19 (0.40-5.50 MIU/L)

this is almost the same as the last time about 4 months ago..

Any opinions/suggestions?

My back muscles (right above the waist)are spasing on me - was down the

shore last week and couldn't take ten steps without them spasing so

bad, I had to sit, which does relieve that problem except I had to sit

or lie down for 2 days..

I am currently on 88mcg Synthroid but I think I will take 100mcg one

day a week starting tomorrow....

Have carpal tunnel bad enough to warrant surgery...am going to see if

bringing the TSH down to 1.0 or thereabouts will make a difference..and

the list could go on and on....but I will control myself - for now

anyway...

You are barely in what is considered the normal range.. to be honest

I really do not think taking 100mcg once a week is going to fine

tune this labs or your symptoms..

Normal range is a long range?

Why are you hypo? Those who have antibodies, no thyroid due to

cancer, or who have had RAI need to have the TSH suppressed below 1.

What you need is a dose increase, labs in 6 weeks, dose increase,

labs in 6 weeks and to continue this until symptoms are gone..to

give the doc the benefit of the doubt I would ask him for an

increase and labs in 6 weeks..tell him yo uwant your TSH below or

near 1 and your free's have lots of room to move up in the normal

range.. if he is willing to work with you great.. if not time to

find a doc that is not going to keep you hypo..

How long have you been on that dose?

That is hyper by labs but that may be because there isn't enough

That puts you on equivalent to around 100 of normal T3, not an

unreasonable dose

You are hypo at a cellular level.

If I remember right your ferritin is under 70, are you supplementing

iron?

Are you on HC? if not have you had a saliva test?

What about Vitamins D and B12, Lyme Candida etc?? Have you eliminated

those?

That is low, especially in the morning,

I would recommend you join the adrenal group and post those there. I

presume you were not on isocort when those were taken?

Their FAQ Web site is here http://faqhelp.webs.com/

With that AM cortisol low and ferritin of 60 it will be difficult to

get optimum.

I'm thinking most of your problems are adrenal and the high FT3 was

because you didn't have enough cortisol to get the T3 from the serum

to the cells

Had you taken any T3 the morning of the blood draw??
