Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 When I had symptoms from too much T3, I reduced it and the symptoms went away. I never took a blood test at that time though. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 thing is she is not having any symptoms of too much T3...her heart rate is up but she has a fever..when fever down her heart rate is fine...bp normal when fever down and goes up some when fever high but i believe that is normal with a fever... she has no symptoms of high t3 ...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010  What did the diff look like? And exactly how low was the WBC?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 her wbc were 2.8 (4.8-10.8) platelets were low too...119 (150-450) rbc were normal and so were other things like mcv mch etc on her diff... gran% 57 (40-78) band % 10 (0-5 ) high lymph @ 11 (15-40 ) low mono% 17 (0-10) high eos % 0 (0-7) baso % 0 (0-2) reactive lymph% 5 (0-5) absolute numbers gran# 1.88 (1.92-8.64) low lymph# 0.45 (0.72-4.32)low mono# 0.48 (0-1.08) eos and baso 0 doc hopes that this is reflecting viral infection has her seeing doc on monday...someone mentioned thyroid meds...and i can handle that..but of course as a mom worry about something more serious..her last cbc was 9 months ago and was normal..but that was before starting cytomel...any opinion is welcome!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 When we're sick many blood results are different. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010  Dawn, Her WBC isn't all that low and her diff has no shift. I'd think she just got exposed to something with starting school. Good she has a follow up on Monday. How are her adrenals? Might think about some extra support with the stress of college. (After she feels better of course!)
