Hyperthyroid tests
by Marla13, Mar 15, 2007 12:00AM
I've been having hyperthyroid symptoms such as night sweats, shaking,strong muscle twitching, and anxiety. I got results from endo today. The uptake was 19% at first reading and 32% at second reading.My labs are as follows:
Free T3= 4.4
Free T4=1.28
TSH= 1.22
Total T4=12.2
Total T3=110.6
T3 uptake=34.2
Thyroglobulin=6.8
Osteocalcin=6.5
My endo wants to treat me with a minimal dose of Tapozole(sp?)
Is this the right direction or could my symptoms be something else?

I wouldn't think that a small dose of tap would make a difference in your symptoms nor your level be the cause of them. After all they don't look all that bad. For symptoms, levels be way way way out. But still would like to see your Labs reference ranges.
Just my personal opinion and/or experience. Always discuss your health issue with your doctor , always adhere to your doctors advise and, you always have the right to a second opinion. Nothing is a 100% or a 100%, 100% of the time. However, we are not all alike!

Free T3= 4.4 (1.4-4.4)
Free T4=1.28(.73-2.10)
TSH= 1.22(.40-3.10)
Total T4=12.2(4.4-12.5)
Total T3=110.6 (86.0-187.0)
T3 uptake=34.2(30-40)
Thyroglobulin=6.8(3-21)
Osteocalcin=6.5(.7-14.5)
If my symptoms aren't thyroid related any suggestions what it could be. I'm getting tired of feeling like **** let me tell ya.
Thanks, Marla13
You are not on thyroid meds. with these levels, right?
FT-3 is hyper high right at Labs edge. This is called
T-3 toxicosis (excess T3) /early hyperthyroidism, possibily Graves' Disease and antibodies will confirm.
Tap. might help, so doctor is going in right direction for now. Retest in 4 weeks after you start tap.
Good luck and hope you feel better soon.
