Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 What is the range on the T3? How old is he? That just it is just a normal lab flucuation, how has he been feeling? Why did you try and increase dose? > > > > > > My son was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in October. His FT4 > before > > > starting Armour Thyroid was .99 and FT3 was 5.0.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 He has been tested at 2 labs. The ranges were 3.5-5.7 and 2.87-4.55 for T3. He was 5.0 at one lab when he was taking 3/4 grain and 5.0 at the other lab when he was taking 1.5 grains Armour. He's 17. I increased the armour because he was feeling fatigued and depressed. Also, my understanding was that the FT4 should be mid to high in the range and he was near the bottom. He's been struggling w/some insomnia since he got up to 1 grain on the Armour. When his blood was tested at 1.25 grains Armour his T3 was 189 (range 80-213); FT4 was .9 (range .6-2.0) and TSH was 1.26 (range 0.4-7.0). How do these #s look? This is the dose he is taking at the moment. Thanks . jeneric46324 jeneric46324@...> wrote: What is the range on the T3? How old is he?
