a back pain all the time ( 2 nodules on ma lower back) I can't stand up without having a pain. my doctor sent me to a specialist ( generalist) he thinks i'm depressed and put me on fluoxitine with gives me allergy (swollen lips) It says this happen stop the medication straight away which i did. when i went back to see the doctor e said keep taking it. Does it make any sense to you .the medication is harming me and yet he said take it. I'm honestly fed up I don't know what to do. I sometimes think of finishing my life.
I have carpal tunnel syndrom. some time for unknown reason i can't walk and bizarrely other times i'm fit and happy.

I don't know the lab range for your t4, or if it is a Total T4 or a Free T4, so I don't know what yout hormone level is.
Your TSH is high for someone on Levothyroxine. It should be closer to 1.5. You are slightly Hypo, enough to give you symptoms.
Your Doctor should increase your Levo. If you are taking a generic, you should ask to be switched to a name brand drug.

Thanks so much for trying to help.
Just called the doctor and he gave me the result of my TSH AND T4.
The last time i had a blood test was on the 21st of february 2008.
T4 = 15.4
TSH = 4.15
No T3 has been done so i requested it to be done in a few week.
I really don't understand any of these numbers.
Thanks again AR-10.
Because I'm so desperate these days i'm glood to the computer for any help since my doctors don't care.

If a doctor tells you to keep taking a drug that is going to harm you, then you know that is another doctor to never go back to.
Carpal tunnel can be brought on by hypothyroidism. My guess is you are not being tested often enough and you very seldom have the correct amount of hormones.
You're probably hypo all the time and the tests come back "within normal limits", which is a meaningless crock of bull, but the doctor doesn't care.
But that is all cynical guessing on my part. Do you know what your last few TSH tests and Free T4 tests have shown? Do you get more than one a year?
