Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 ph, Sorry you feel so ill. I am keeping my hopes up for you, that relief is not far off. When you get your lab results, the ranges will be provided on your copy, which will tell you the normal limits for each test result. When you post your labs to us, or at Mediboard.com (which is wonderful), post the ranges for each as well. Remember that even if you fall " within range " (though I don't think you will, given how you're feeling), different people have different " set points " or points at which they feel best. Many people with Graves' feel best in the middle to slightly high-normal end of the range for the FT3 and FT4 tests. I would suggest that you bring along the list of tests you want to have run which we have suggested to you in previous messages. If you don't TELL THEM what labs you want done, there is a high chance they will not do what you want. You may have to persuade them to do the antibody tests, but I would push for TSI and TPO antibody tests.
