Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 VERY CRAZY, huh!! I was on 2 grains but she cut me back to one until these test results came back. She's on vacation but will call me on Monday. The only adverse things I noticed on the 2 grains was a little return of hotflashes and I think my heart rate is higher. Like around 104. > In a message dated 3/20/2005 12:01:15 AM Eastern Standard Time, > Tressie.johnson@a... writes: > > > She also told me there is a Thyroid movement going on out there > > lol. hypo folks starting a " movement " ...will wonders never cease? > cindi > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 The new TSH recommendation is .30-2.5 . Are you sure that is the range for the FT4? It is usually a lot smaller number than the high range you posted? Glad to hear that you are doing well on the Thyroid-S. That's great that your dr says she is willing to give you Armour. Her next test is to see if she will give 'enough' to take care of symptoms as well. :-) SandyE~Houston RE: Digest Number 2595 Hi All, Before I went to the lab, though, she said she wasn't opposed to me taking it and that she will prescribe Armour...Yeah!! It will be a lot cheaper through Kaiser Permanente. Anyway, she only tested my TSH and my Free T4. No Free T3 test! Well, here are the results: TSH is .01 (.028 - 5.8) FT4 is 1.0 (0.28 - 5.00) This is too low, isn't it?? I'd like any and all comments, if you will. Thanks everybody for being there! This is a truly great place!! Tressie in Oregon PS: She also told me there is a Thyroid movement going on out there and she had a patient come in a few days before me with a thick stack of Thyroid in from the internet. I'm not sure what she thought about that! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
