Re: After increase in HC, do I need to increase Thyroid?

[Guest guest]

3.20 Free T3 (2.57-4.43)

1.03 Free T4 (.93-1.70)

0.78 TSH (.27-4.20)

These labs look slightly hypo to me. Is your temp averaging 98.6? If not then

you need a thyroid increase. I like to see T4 at 1.4 and T3 at the very top of

range ot slightly over. Usually when you reach an unhypo state the TSH will be

..0? Mine is .015 when I feel my best.

When you increase your HC, it allows the thyroid to get into the

cells, essentially using up what's in your blood. So yes, increasing

HC will unmask any hypo you have.

If you take regular temps, you would know you became more hypo

because your temps should've dropped.

Are your temps stable? It's really important to know that in order to know

if you are on the right dose of HC.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

Thanks Val - I have my latest labs from last week:

Free T3 349 (230-420)

Free T4 1.1 (0.9-1.8)

TSH 0.50 (0.35-5.5)

So I should only go by average temps, not what my labs say? what do

the top docs normally do?

Joann

[Guest guest]

Are you r twemps averaging 98.6 wiht these labs? Most the time with this

low ;eves of BOT T4 and T3 you wil stil be hypo. And temps will confirm

this.
