Lab results
by rayneweather, Mar 21, 2007 12:00AM
My surgeon emailed me the results of the labs drawn Monday morning. She also left me a voicemail saying that my TSH is definitely better than before (last one I remember is 0.06) so she thinks my synthroid dose is good for me; but she is going to email my endo today & see if he wants to change it.
Test Range
ca 8.8 8.5 - 10.5
tsh 0.37 0.40 - 4.00
T4 11.7 4.5 - 12.5
T3 0.96 0.77 - 1.17
FT4 11.2 3.5 - 14.6
iPTH 2.6 1.6 - 6.9
So for the first time in a long time I'm almost normal :-) At least lab-wise that is. Even though my calcium is better my surgeon wants me to remain on my supplements in order to build my body's stores up again. But I have been able to decrease it to 2000mg twice a day without any tingling or other symptoms. I will be rechecking my labs in 3 weeks and hopefully my tsh will be even higher.

Oh, and btw, I figured out why my emails wouldn't go through to you. I miss-typed the address when I put it into my address book. I fixed it and it should work now. I guess I'll go try. :-)
