Help with Lab History Results, Suggestions?

March 16, 2005

Hi - I am fairly educated on thyroid issues, thanks to groups like

these and about.com. With that info, I was able to ask for the proper

tests (free t's) and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about a year and

a half ago.

Here's my problem. I am on 3 grains Armour thyroid daily, which I

split into 3 doses. Last few weeks, I have been feeling really run

down, cold, and all the other icky hypo symptoms. I just got my labs

done March 1st, which I will share, along with my previous labs. The

thing that is so weird with me is that my Free's are low or below

normal range, even when my TSH is .01. I don't have any symptoms of a

pititary tumor, so I really don't know what is going on or what to do

to make myself feel better. Neither does my doctor. I was hoping that

maybe some of you have some thought or suggestions? I am especially

nervous since we are going to be trying for a second child soon and I

know thyroid hormones can really go haywire during pregnancies. I

don't know how my obgyn will react to increasing thyroid meds for a

patient with a .01 TSH.

I uploaded my lab history results to the above link, which you may

have to cut and paste for it to work. ANY ideas or input is much

appreciated. Thanks so much!
