Lab results are in. No meds

[Brucergoldberg]

Hello. I had blood work yesterday.  Came back today.  I'm amazed at how quick it came back.  Pituary MRI clean, waiting on 24 hour urine.

I'm on day 18 or so with no meds

Tsh 5.85. (.40 to 4.50)
T4 total. 5.9. (4.5 to 12.5)
T4 free. 0.9. (0.8 to 1.8)
T3 free. 2.8. (2.3 to 4.2)
T3 total 91. (76 to 181)

Testosterone 230. (range 400 to 800)


Symptoms are still terrible ear ringing, terrible uncomfortable anxiety, some headaches. Buzzing in head.  Feel better than when on meds.  The meds was tirosint .13 to .25.

I think I finally found an Endo that doesn't think I'm nuts.  He thinks some of the symptoms are neurological.  Says his goal is to get me on some thyroid and testosterone but not yet as it made me feel worse.  I need thyroid because I do feel fatigued but it's not unbearable.  Also my symptoms are horrible in morning, better as day goes on.  Also even though my testosterone is low, I still have somewhat of a libido, but the ear buzzing and anxiety ruins it for me.

Thank you,

Bruce

Kevin you are my freaking hero......  I bought a yoga cd today.   What iron is safe for a hashi?

[redheadaussie]

Means you are low on iron and need to take a supplement. It's a back to front kind of level. Could account for some of your symptoms.

can someone please tell me what this means on an iron panel:

Unsaturated IBC  301   (155-300)

I think I'm going to get my d under control, wait for my adrenal thing to come back....   Unmedicated is hard.  I'm not going to whine anymore,  I've learned it's hopeless.  But it does make me feel better talking to people about it.
