What are the risks of low free t4?
by Terri627, Jul 05, 2009 02:50AM
Okay, I'm still waiting for a few tests to come back, but my Free T4 came back as 0.46, when in May it was at
0.71 (reference range 0.70 to 1.48) and TSH at 0.2 from 0.02 in May (range is 0.4 to 4). It is still suppressed, and
I need it to be to prevent the cancer from coming back. I also had the Free T3, tgab, and cortisol done but they
have not come in yet. I'm assuming that the T4 being so low is not a good thing for me. I have been able to stay
awake for 5 to 6 hours at a time, but that's on a good day. I go back to work Monday from having a week off.
Too bad I didn't have the energy to go out and enjoy my vacation! Anyway, I will hopefully have the rest of
the results to post in a few days. I can't wait for my ultrasound, which I haven't even been given an appointment
date for yet, but I have been feeling that neck fullness coming back, a little achy in the neck and more difficulty swallowing.
Any thoughts are appreciated !

Illness and stress can also alter your levels.Low FT4 also gives hypo symptoms.
Good luck with your tests...let us know how you go.
challenged individual. Maybe I think being behind others, people can't see me?
my endo tomorrow and getting the rest of my results so the puzzle can be
completed. Don't know if it will make any more sense, but with the missing
pieces, I know nothing!
