Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I just got copies of all my labs & am trying to play doctor to figure out what I need. I have hypothyroid symptoms & even though the doc said they were normal, I had to beg for a trial of meds. I first tried Armour & felt awful (bad headaches) then I tried ST3. Have been on ST3 (15 mcg x2) for 6 mos. When I reported that I wasn't feeling any better & my temps are still very low, she was first going to raise the dosage & then decided I should stop altogether & see what happens (I haven't noticed any changes thus far). We also discussed trying 's protocol. I should mention that I'm taking a short break from chelation & also doing Candida treatment - I don't want to confuse the issues right now. I have also been on adrenal support (HC,ACE etc) for a year now. Can't say that my adrenals are functioning any better either, although its possible that my low adrenals are more the problem. First test result TSH 1.303 (.35 - 5.5) Free T4 1.16 (.89 - 1.76) 2nd test Free T3 347 (230 - 420) Free T4 1.0 (.8 - 1.8) TSH 1.54 (.40 - 4.50) I don't know if anyone has any knowledge about this, but on my metals test, Vanadium was above the reference range & in the description it said " the inhibitory effect of elevated vanadium on the sodium- potassium ATPase would be expected to result in fatigue or a hypothyroid-like condition " . Would this be the reason that thyroid meds aren't helping? Gosh, never wanted to be a doctor, but guess a science major rather than liberal arts would have been more helpful now!
