Thyroid test question
by kris123, Mar 14, 2007 12:00AM
My TSH levell was normail 2.0
Free T3 was low 222 range(230-420)
Free T4 normal .98 range(.8-1.8)
I know that t4 converts to t3, but my doctor didn't give me T3 med, he just increased my levothyroxin (levothyroxine) .25mcg now I am taking 125mcg. I thought that if the t4 was normal then maybe it wasn't coverting into T3. Is is right for him to give me more T4 med?

Just my personal opinion and/or experience. Always discuss your health issue with your doctor , always adhere to your doctors advise and, you always have the right to a second opinion. Nothing is a 100% or a 100%, 100% of the time. However, we are not all alike!
