Hi I can anyone read these TSH results for me?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been on Levothyroxin for 14 yrs, originally 150 mg for most of that time, but have been fluctuating prob due to perimenopause.
I have still all the symptons of heavy tired legs, general tiredness, , insomnia, can't lose weight even etc (and loss of pigment in hair). I have been reading up on dessicated thyroxine recently and it suggests looking at T3, my drs are not very helpful but I managed to get a test for T3 and T4. This is the results
T4 17.0
Serum free 4.8
TSH 0.26
Does tht make sense to anyone?
Thanks in advance

I definately will take your advice going down Holistic route. I suppose my main prob is I actually don't know what the numbers mean and what is consider low or high. THis last while I seem to be slipping from very underactive to over active back to underactive again. I asked the practice nurses for T3 and T4 as usually I just get told to up or down dosage of levothyroxin with no real explaination.
Do you know anything about L'Armour, the natural dessicated thyroid, from what I'm reading, the T4 is only treated here but it ahould be T3?
