Dr. Lupo,
New here. A little history. Was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 91. Over last 4 yrs. have had Synthroid increases. Last couple sets of Test results I have had have suggested that I am subclinical hyper-thyroid even though at first I
didn't feel like it . January 09 test results were:
F-T4 1.49
T-T3 1.17
TSH 0.03
F-T3 2.7
T-3's at lower end of reference ranges.
In June dosage reduced to .125.
In Oct. 09:
F-T4 1.42
TSH 0.050
Family Phys. didn't order T-3's at that time.
If my dosage is lowered even more to raise TSH , that will drop my T-4 even lower and I am thinking at this point I am not converting enough T-4 to T-3. Am I correct? Am I the type that would need to supplement T-3 also? I am currently having hypo-type symptoms... Cold easy, chills, off and on memory problems, very tired.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.
