T3 values

[carla559]

I was taken of levothyroxine by new internist, he was afraid that I would go hyper.
My last studies were.............

TSH 1.28                  0.27-4.20  
T4  Free 1.6               0.9-1.8        
T3 Free 2.1                2.3-4.2
slightly lower
but MD seems
to think that this
is not out of line...........
changed MD's 50 MCGs that he gave me made my hands shake..
another MD noticed and said I was probably being over medicated.......
any ideas - they are close and I sure would not want to go hyperthyroid,
Thanks,
Carla
Derma Mag is okay - but I found it better for the foot soak Tamra...........

Hey again - I know I ask a lot of questions but you are very nice and informative
about everything.  The endo that was recommended to me supposedly recognizes
subclinical readings I assume this means not "recipe" type text book ones.?
I had to get one in Richmond, VA about 50 miles from me that accepts my medicare ins.
ppo.  This has been tough year and I had no idea this would be so difficult to treat.
I mean my first FT3 came back stated on lab sheet "out of range" 200   230-420 limits
The 2nd one came back FT3 2.1    2.3-4.2 limits stated Low on lab sheet what is wrong
with the MD's?  I am walking around like a zombie sometimes and have the wierdest
aches and pains the come and go with fatigue.  thanks,
Carla

and be fatigued.  Wish me luck with my appt . Tuesday and I made another for next
month with an recommended endo in Richmond for a consultation.  I am really
frustrated and want to get some help soon.  thanks for being suppportive,

Keep us informed on how your test turns out. I'll be letting you know how the med helps me out as time goes by.

By the way, I use to live in Hampton ...... took some classes at TNCC, and I took one class at the College of William and Mary. Lots to do there in that area! I do miss it.
