Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 TSH...1.23....0.40-5.80 fT4...1.0....0.6-1.2 fT3...2.8....2.4-3.9 UGH have they further lowered th eranges? Used to be the free T4 was topped at 1.8 adn I prefer to see 1.4 on labs. And the T3 top of range should be 4.2 and I liek to see people reach at least 4.2. Hs TSH is showing hypo still.. Is he on any thyroid meds? If not he should be. But it is unlikely these will convince most endo's to start him on them. I do nto see a conversion problem, just low thyroid. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks Val, I appreciate your help.....no he is not on any thyroid meds. Should I start him if the endo won't? Of course his outside doc would probably go along with it...I have some Armour that I am not using at the moment cause on T3, they are 60mg. If I start what would I start him on? > TSH...1.23....0.40-5.80 > fT4...1.0....0.6-1.2 > fT3...2.8....2.4-3.9 > > UGH have they further lowered th eranges?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes, his T3 is low while the TSH is rising. I will let comment on the beta blockers since that is out of my area. Cheri -----Original Message----- Jan 21 at new Docs to take to VA appt TSH...1.23....0.40-5.80 fT4...1.0....0.6-1.2 fT3...2.8....2.4-3.9 Reverse T3 is not back yet..... Is there anything from these tests that I can use when we see the Endo this Monday??? To me it looks as if he is not making enough T3, which means the higher T4 is being blocked??? He takes Coreg which is a beta blocker along with Lisinopril. Should I talk to the Endol about changing it like I did???? Need all the info I can get so we will be ready for this Endo that we know nothing about. I am praying that his mind will be open......God could change him.... .

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Stress dosing keep s th eadrneal s covered when you use extra cortisol. It takes ALOT more cortils to do heacy work, exercise and to fight off an illness. Thsi si why we take more so the adrneals don;t return to struggling to keep up in the face of a demand for more cortiosl. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
