Test Results

by raelouisa, Jun 23, 2008 02:16PM
     I was on 100mcg Levothyroxin (levothyroxine) for 3 to 4 months.  The results are as follows:  T4  10.91   reference 6.1 - 12.2 ;   Triiodothyroxin  87.12  reference  87 - 178 ;   TSH HS 3rd Gen <0.01  reference 0.34 - 5.60 . A second test was taken three weeks later. The results are: T4   10.91 reference 6.1 - 12.2;
TSH   0.01 reference .34 - 5.60 ;    T uptake  1.05  reference 0.86 - 1.3
     I had no energy and suffered "brain fog."  I was not interested in living, and then my vision became blurry.  My blood sugar tested normal.  And I forced myself to do aerobic exercise daily and then went home and slept the rest of the day.
     Please help.

Has your dose been lowered?
That TSH is almost undetectable and you are not feeling well with it that low.
A dose of 88 mcg should be rx'd.
Free t3 and free t4 tests should be done instead of total t3/4.
