New labs - interpretation needed

[Guest guest]

My new labs are:

T4, Free - 1.2 Ref Range: 0.8 - 1.8

TSH - 1.95 Ref Range: 0.3 - 3.04

TSI - 147 Ref Range: 125 or less

The last time I posted my labs (early May), it sounded like I was

heading towards hypo. I asked my endo to lower my dosage since I was

feeling a few hypo symptoms, cold & tired. He asked for labs again

and now it doesn't look like I'm hypo. Does this sound correct?

The last time was TSH was 3.24 and now it's 1.95. Is it normal to

have such a drastic change in 5 weeks?

Thanks.

Hi ,

Thanks for the input.

That 6 week lag makes it all more confusing for me. I'm pretty much

feeling the same as I was before (6 weeks ago). I did follow Terry's

advice and started spliting my meds in equal portions instead of

taking just one dose in the mornings. Although, the bad thing is

that I usually forget a dose (usually the night one) which is

probably why I was feeling tired.

No, the doctor didn't change my dosage from my labs in May. He is

waiting for my most recent results. Since it looks okay I'm guessing

he probably won't be agreeing to any lower dosage.

Elaine,

I haven't changed my dosage yet, at least not intentionally. I use

to take the whole dose in the morning and now I'm splitting the meds

and taking it 3 times a day. Although sometimes forgetting the last

dose. Would the change in the way I take the medicine (3 times a day

versus 1 time a day) speed up the effect of me heading towards being

hypo?

Based on my latest results, would that be an indication to stay on

the same dosage or possibly a lower dosage? Or should symptoms

dictate that more than the lab results?

Lab results again:

T4, Free = 1.2 (0.8 - 5.50)

TSH = 1.95

TSI = 147

Also, based on my 147 on the TSI, does that mean I am a long way from

remission?

Thanks.
