thyroid levels

[sabrena18]

My daughter just received some lab results back and has been referred to an endcrinologist for abnormal thyroid results.  Her TSH is 1.85, indicated as normal, but her TT4 is 21.9 and her T3 is 255, both indicated as elevated.  I am a little confused as I am trying to research the possible causes of this and I cant find any cause for a normal TSH and elevated T3 and T4.  Anyone have any suggestions?

I am going through thyroid problems right now myself.. i have an underactive thyroid. I am seeing my doctor every 4 weeks and am on pure vitamins. My thyroid is getting better slowly but surely. most doctors put people on medications right away but i would consider trying the vitamins if you are able to. doing it the natural way may be easier than doing it the medication way. keep your head up! thats what i am trying to do.. Good luck

I've lived with hypothyroidism all my life. Your daughter will be fine.The doctor could possibly give her synthroid to keep her hormones at a normal level. There are 2 types of thyroids. There is Hyperthyroidism,which she can eat alot and not gain the weight. then there's hypothyroidism-which is weight gain. either one can be controlled. she may take it the rest of her life.not sure., but its a small pill Only thing you have to make sure is that, if they do tell her she has to take it. Make sure she doesn't miss any pills at all.
I was born with hypothyroidism they didn't discover till  i turned 3. And  I'm doing okay.
