Test Results Back

[LadyBlair64]

I am on 175mcg. of Synthroid & my T4 is still low (from some "harmless" low antibodies or low something),FT4 is getting LOWER with increased dose of meds, NOT higher! Also, but went 1 yr. being "postmenopausal", had a "period" in Jan. Went to the doctor, did tests, FSH showed that FSH level WENT DOWN FROM 56.5 TO - - 8.5 which "restarted" my periods. Now look at all my results from Jan. to now:
**See changes!
JANUARY 2,2007
TSH: 0.45 (0.34-5.60) (good)
T4: 4.8(l) (6.1-12.2) (too low)
**FT4: 1.08 (0.58-1.64)(good)
**FSH: 8.5 (normal menstruating female)(A++)
FEBRUARY 28, 2007
TSH: 0.41 (0.34-5.60)(good)
T4: 6.0 (6.1-12.2)(better but still low)
**FT4: 0.89 (0.58-1.64)(LOWER WITH INCREASE! NO ENERGY-return of symptoms)
** FSH: 55.1 (Postmenopausal Females 20-138)(HORRID)
Why is my FT4 LOWER this time?? Why is my FSH so high again. I see Endo on 12th. Is it adrenal or pituitary?? I'm VERY CONSTANT about the way I take  meds, I keep them in cool, dark place.  I even wait 2 hours at least before I drink coffee, juice, anything....Doubtful it's interference of other meds
Had a bad flu the week I took the test.  Any correlation?  Thank you!  I am waiting for results to return on the FT3.  The lab didn't send them back yet, but will post next week

That's what I did! I wasn't sure if you saw my DUPLICATE POST AND SUBSEQUENT APOLOGY but I accidentally duplicated this on here and stated that to "the public"  

It was an accident!!

Also, it's not that I am not satisfied, however, it's always good to have a doctor's word too if possible.

Thanks again for your advice.

Once again, after reading my post, it sounded a bit rude - NOT MEANT TO BE - I was just explaining what I did.

I truly appreciate your advice.  HAVE A NICE DAY!!

I didn't see your post until after the fact and you didn't come across as a "bit rude"

I am curious as to what the doctor has to say also.  I'll be checking over there too.

Good Luck.

Thanks again.  I just never want to offend anyone.  The good people on this forum are a lifeline for some of us and I realize that, for me especially, when I'm in a hurry, or we only have x amount of space, I just write whatever I can and I KNOW HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND, but it doesn't always come out that way.  My husband tells me that I have a way of sounding a bit sarcastic or angry at times when I'm actually NOT, so I try to watch.  Thanks again for understanding.
