New Labs

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I just hit some key and the message I was writing disappeared...it's

late and I must be too tired to type. Anyway, I'll start over...I

got my new labs yesterday and I could use some help interpreting

where to go from here.

TSH 3.8 Ranges 0.30-4.50

T4 free 0.77 Ranges 0.8-2.0

T3 uptake 25.3 Ranges no idea

Total T3 95.6 Ranges 86-187

so, this is the first time that I have ever had the TSH in " normal "

range. Is that good? Also, I feel hypo. Not horribly hypo like

before, but still very tired and some muscle pain. Would these

numbers make anyone hypo? I'm currently on 7.5 mg of tapazole a day,

divided into three doses. (Thank you Granny Jody and Terry

for your help with dividing doses!!) Should I reduce? I feel like I

should, but by how much? My doctor is no help at all with this

stuff. She doesn't see the need to slowly reduce...thinks you should

be able to just quite the meds and be done with it. Anyway, I feel a

bit confused about what to do now. My next endo appointment is Dec.

18th.

The good news is that everything came back " normal " , which like I

said, is a first for me since being diagnosed. Even my liver levels

have returned to normal, so I must be getting healthier in some

respects.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I totally cheated

today...even drank a small glass of wine...to celebrate the day.

Back to spinach and broccoli tomorrow.
