THS TEST FOR THYROID

[twdolan]

THS RESULTS WERE 128. DR. SAID SHE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT HIGH .WHAT IS NORMAL RANGE?

My endo said at my appointment the other day that TSH tests are
much more advanced than they were before, so they still go my
those results, and don't do FT3. I wish I could remember exactly
what she said about the FT3, but I guess that means no testing
for me on that particular lab. :(

See? Told ya there were much more experienced people here!

I hope your doctor will test free t3. Unhappily, mine doesn't. Good luck and keep coming to this site, it's FABULOUS!

128 is, no doubt, high, but I've seen reports on this forum of 600 and 800.

You need to have further thyroid testing - free T3 and free T4.  These are the actual thyroid homones and give a much better picture of what your thyroid's doing.  TSH is a pituitary hormone and correlates very badly with symptoms.  Currently accepted TSH range is 0.3 to 3.0

Do you have symptoms?  Or need I ask?  ;-)  Has you doctor put you on meds?

maybe thats why she said she was surprised i could still walk

according to my doctor, normal is 0.4 to 4.0 .However,
I just went on thyroidpower.org and they list it as 0.3 to 3.04
..Looks like you are extremely hypothyroid! that's what I see,
there are much better educated people on here than myself, let's
see what they think.
