Re: LABS-partial lab results

They LOST them??

Are you sure you want to put your health into their

hands?

An average Total T3 range is around 75 to 200. So I guess

you are on the higher end of normal. But you could still

have a low or a high Free T4, and they didn't even run this.

If they had, they probably would have lost it as well. This

is a major red flag. I'd be looking for a different doctor, but

that's me.......

You need the Free T4 and Free T3 to be more accurate

about where your levels are, but then I'm sure you

know this.

the tsh and t4. The results of the T3 is 195. I have no clue what

that means,so if anyone has time could you please let me know? I am

going to redo the other 2 tests. many thanks! Jen

Jen -

You can't tell how you're doing by one total T3 with no lab range

to go by - they could have a completely different lab range for all

we know...... I guess at this point all you can go by are your

symptoms, or hopefully, LACK of symptoms. How do you feel?

I apologize for the double post - Puter-Bob is giving me fits today.

So what do I do? I post yet again.......

What I wanted to add was: Jen, you must remember that those tests

were run THREE WEEKS AGO. Who knows what your levels are now? I

can't remember whether you are on any meds or not. What's up?

new doc?
