Andy/others/Thyroid results

[Guest guest]

Andy/group,

We got our preliminary thyroid results and they are surprising. Her TSH came in

low, low at 0.269 and her Free T4 came in at 1.070, which is also low. The Free

T3 is not yet available but as T3 is converted from T4, I am assuming it would

also be low.

We gave her 1/2 grain of Armour at 8:00 and the blood test was taken at 2:00 Pm,

so 6 hours difference. The pediatrician is absolutely, totally FREAKING out and

called at 8:30am this morning to report results and set up an appointment with a

ped endocrinologist, can't wait. They are also performing a thyroid antibody

test on the remaining blood sample.

My questions are;

1. Is this anything to worry about? I'm aware that most dans! want the TSH

below 1 to stifle autoimmunity.

2. Does this explain her need for decreasing the dose timing of chelators?

3. Why would the TSH be so low and also the Free T3 and Free T4 be low?

4. Of course, we just got the nerve up to do a round of low dose dmps, does

or should this change our plans?

One clue might be the Diflucan which has, I read just last night, fluoride. It's

possible that the fluoride is pushing down the T3 and T4?

Thanks for your attention,
