Anyone want to look at some thyroid scores?

[Guest guest]

Here are some of my thyroid scores this year.

Thyroid scores, Diagnos-Techs lab, April. Before going on Armour.

SALIVA:

fTSH = 45 (26-85)

fT4 = .21 (.17-.42)

fT3 = .40 (.28-1.10)

TPO= positive

Checked adrenals in July and they weren't that bad at all. Went

gluten free based on the Total Salivary SIgA and gliadin scores.

Went on a trial of Armour. Next test results taken while on 3/4

grains of Armour, in August. Took Armour the morning of the test, as

usual. Did saliva and serum within an hour of each other, Diagnos-

Techs.

SERUM:

TSH = .3 (.3-3.0)

fT4 = 1.3 (.8-2.0)

fT3 = 1.8 ( 1.4-4.2)

SALIVA:

TSH = 31 (26-85)

fT4 = .19 (.17-.42)

fT3 = .37 (.28-1.10)

TPO = negative

On 3/4 grains of Armour, I did not exactly feel optimal, but I could

not raise anymore due to chest tightness, elevated pulse, etc. I was

surprised by these test results. Why wasn't my fT3 going up in the

range since I was Armour?

As I continued gluten free, and began to treat my gut infections (too

much yeast, too much bad bacteria, not enough good, based on a GI

test), I felt I had to reduce my Armour because I would get symptoms

of too much thyroid again. I eventually got down to 1/4 grain, then

nothing.

I'm currently taking 500 mg of tyrosine and 50 mcg of Selenium on an

empty stomach upon waking, in lieu of Armour, in hopes of helping the

thyroid pipeline. I think it's helping, somewhat. I'm not on

Armour, and feel about the same as when I was on it.

Here are my latest scores in November. I took the tyrosine and

selenium that morning, as usual.

SALIVA:

fTSH = 60 (26-85)

fT4 = .25 (.17-.42)

fT3 = .40 (.28-1.10)

Huh., I'm thinking. TSH is up. fT3 and fT4 are still (stubbornly)

down in the range.

Any ideas on why my fT3 and fT4 have remained essentially the same

whether on zero Armour, on 3/4 grains Armour, or zero Armour plus

tyrosine and selenium? Suggestions for getting fT3 up?

BTW, I've done 65 rounds (3 days long) of chelation. We (the kids

and I) have been taking an extended break this year for various reasons.

I understand that one solution to my fT3 problem is to chelate,

chelate, chelate. Anything else?

Thanks,
