HI ALL

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO FORUM

ALI


i went to doc yesterday and he advised me for thyroid profile( it includes TSH+T3+T4). Doc is not asking for FT3 and FT4 + antibodies. So what should i do. I have decided to check only TSH becuase this test in pakistan is so costly which i cant affoard. I have decided to check anti bodes right after EOT. Is it ok? or should i check all the things now.

i went to GI yesterday. i asked doc for thyroid antibodies. and FT3+FT4. He dont know about

What the hell does your post have to go with Valentines Day? Since we are whining, I bought a dry Pecan Praline King’s Cake for Mardi Gras

My endocrinologist said that when the readings go up during tx, they always come down at the end. When they go down during tx, they stay there and one needs to take thyroid hormone.

I was recommended by the doctor on the thyroid forum to check for thyroid antibodies, but my hepatologist did not consider that necessary. There was nothing I could do about it. I just could not get that antibody test without doctor's approval. At EOT they checked my TSH and T4, free, and it was already much better. 6 weeks post tx my thyroid readings were back to normal.

I suggest you just check your TSH for now. If the high TSH readings persist post tx, then you can worry about getting the antibody test.
