Ok...as many of you know, I had a tt on 12-17-09...Started synthroid 4 weeks later (after blood work). Here are my results:
Results Reference Range
(in range) (out of range)
Calcium 9.5 8.6 - 10.0 mg/dl
TSH , 3rd Generation 39.51 (H) 0.40- 4.50 mIU/L
T4, Free 0.3 (L) 0.8 - 1.8 ng/dl
T3 uptake 25 22 - 35 percent
T4 free Calculated 0.6 (L) 1.4 - 3.8 Units
Although, I haven't spoken to my Endocrin in reagards to my results, I did see my pcp yesterday, and she told me that the TSH will be high indicating that my thyroid fuctions are low due to the thyroidectomy. My question is:
, what symptoms will appear, if any since my TSH level is high and the medication dose isn't strong enough? I was started on 50mcg's as a start. Thanks in advance
