TSH .935 Range (.358-3.74)
Free Thyroxine .89 Range( .76-1.46)
Total T3 128 Range (70-190)
They also tested my Testosterone:
Total Testosterone 28 Range (11-56)
SHBG 102 Range (30-135)
Bioavailable Testosterone 5.9 Range ( 4.1-25.5)
Free Testosterone 2.2 Range ( 1.3-9.2)
My doctor said everything falls within range but don't you think a free testosterone of 2.2 with a range up to 9.2 is pretty low? Also I read that if you have a low TSH and a low or low normal T4 it is considered Central Hypothyroidism. I personally feel that I need Thyroxine replacement and Testosterone replacement. Does anyone here agree? They basically think I am just depressed and started me on Celexa, when that did not work they tried Prestiq, then Prozac and finally Lexapro. Nothing helped! I told them I was not taking any more antidepressants and that I wanted to try replacing my Thyroxine to see if that would help with my symptoms but they said my numbers were "within range" and would not prescribe it to me. I cannot believe that they have no problem just throwing all kinds of antidepressants at people but will not even let me try to increase my T4 level!!!!
I am a 34 year old otherwise healthy female and just want to feel better!
Can someone please give me some advice
