Normal t3-t4 fluctuating tsh

[Martha129]

I have nearly all symptoms of hypothyroidism. I had my levels checked when I went for my yearly exam with my gyno. All the levels were within normal range except for my tsh-.399. He referred me to a family dr who drew some more labs. The tsh came back that time at 1.275. My main concern is the decreased libido b/c it is causing MAJOR problems with my marriage. I'm only 28 so I know this is not normal. Now the family dr doesn't want to pursue it any further. What should I do? Should I be concerned?

is your results.. 1.25? and .399 or 399?  sounds hormonal.....  normal range does not mean normal for all!  you need to find your normal I am clearly hypo with major symptoms starting after 1.5 .... I feel my best at 1.0.

More important than TSH would be your free T3 level and free T4.  Your free T3 should be in the upper part of the range to alleviate symptoms.  Another good indication of your metabolic rate/thyroid levels, would be to check your normal temperature for several times a day for several days and compare to optimal of 98.6.  The lower your regular temperature below 98.6, the slower your metabolism, and the worse your symptoms are likely to be.  If your doctor doesn't want to pursue any further something that is so important to your health and well being, you obviously need to find another doctor---one that understands thyroid problems.
