New Labs -- Elaine or Anybody

[Guest guest]

Got my latest lab results today after being on Unithroid .725 for 3 months

and after Orbital Radiation.

Not quite sure how to interpret them. The lab is Quest Diagnostics if that

makes any difference.

T3F 289 Reference Range: 230-420

T4F 1.2 Reference Range: .89-1.76

TSH 1.1 Reference Range: .35-5.50

Thryoglob. Ab. < 2 Reference Range: <2.0

Thy. peroxidase

Antibodies 44 Reference Range: <2

Clearly the antibodies are still way high. But they haven't proposed to do

anything about it.

The TSH is where the endo wanted it with the increase in unithroid.

Terri

Graves disease 1979; treated with RAI; exothalmia 1982, treated with IV

steroids; since then on one or another form of replacement hormone. New flare

up

of TED with severe double vision, swelling in intraocular muscles and

inflammation in August of 2002. Currently hypoactive. Treated TED with

prednisone.

It worked while on prednisone, but TED came back worse after. Underwent

Orbital radiation June-July 2003. No change yet.
