Re: New Lab Results Today!

February 16, 2005

You are right on target when you request that you want your free T3

towards the top of the range. Keep on with that. And don't worry

about the T4. And major good luck having to deal with a doc who told

you that you weren't even hypo!! (

TSH 1.5 (.2 - 5.5)

Free T3 271 (230 - 420)

Free T4 0.9 (.8 - 1.7)

Looks like you are getting there! Though they are in range, If these were my

labs I would want to see my Free T3 closer to 400 and my T4 around 1.7 (this is

a VERY LOW range most at least go to 1.8 or higher!) or even 1.8. The TSH

really doesn;t matter except maybe to your doctor as we have found it is not

real accurate especially once you are on meds.
