Vals opinion on labs

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

You left for vacation just when I got my labs. The group has been helping me,

but would love your input here. Here are my most recent labs. I will post them

all but it is they thyroid panel that I interested in.

FT4......0.6 L.....(0.8-1.8)

FT3......661.H......(230-420)

RT3.....10.......(11-32)

SODIUM......141....135-146

POTASSIUM.....3.8.....3.5 -5.3 I know this is low and have been taking KlorCon

twice a day for this.

CHLORIDE.....103....98-110

CARBON DIOXIDE......27.....21-33

DHEA SULFATE.......152......< OR = 185

ESTRADIOL........64.....

TESTOSTERONE TOTAL......51H.....2-45

TEST. FREE %.......0.91.....0.50 - 2.00

FREE TEST........4.6.....0.1-6.4

They tell me I am pooling Val. I have been on Cytomel at 75mcg. I started back

in June (22nd) on low dose and worked up to the 75. they say this is a low dose

to have such a high ft3. It has been almost 10 weeks since starting, so I am

hoping I will clear soon.

I deal with fatigue everyday, use a cane for support. I have lots of muscle pain

off and on here and there. I deal with daily head pain from a neck problem and

maybe from TMJ too.

I take 12.5mg of DHEA

32.5 mg of HC 10,10,7.5,5

62.6mcg of cynomel ( Iwent down from 75 because of pulse)

Esterdiol cream - 1mg/0.5ML daily

Testosterone cream 5mg/ml S 0.2ml daily

Progesterone 100mg TR 1tablet at bedtime

My last aldosterone was 7. I was on Lisinipril 10mg at the time and Lee told me

the test would not be accurate on this BP medication. So do I need to get off

the BP medication and test again. with increased BP I am a bit leary about going

on Florinef. I know I would need to increase my potassium first.

If there are too many questions here for you Val, let me know and I will set up

a phone consult.

thanks a lot,

Faith
