My TSH is at 257 while T3 is "within normal range" how can this be?

by erya_chaore, Jul 18, 2008 03:25PM
ALright, I'm a nineteen year old female and had a TSH level of 8 about nine months ago so they put me on synthroid. 88mg. my levels got to be about normal then sky rocketed into hyperthyroidism. I was immediately taken off synthroid when I had been on it for 5 months. 6 weeks later I went to get more blood labs. It's rediculous and doesn't make sense. My TSH is at 257.57 and T3 is normal range while T4 is only .2 away from being normal. I am 5'5 and have kept a consistent weight of 130. through all of this (exceptional when i went into hyper i lost 10 pounds)

she wants me back on synthroid, only a lower dosage. what is going on?? i took it for 2 days, then said screw that this doesn't seem right. I need opinions as to what is going on

I think you must do a MRI of your pituitary gland and look for a adenoma??? Go to you ENDO
