"Normal" Blood Levels - Papillary Thyroid Cancer Survivor

[CA121]

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2004, had a TT and 150mci RAI.  Can you tell me the "normal" limits for my bloodwork?  My TSH has been averaging below .1, T4 has averaged below 1.3, and TG is less than .1  My doctor and I disagree on my level of Synthroid (.137) because I'm having too much trouble losing weight.  I was on .175 for over a year, but my T4 jumped to 1.8 once, which is why he reduced my medicine.  It has remained 1.3 or lower since - mostly around .9, but the weight issue has arisen during that time.  I can't seem to find a "new normal" chart showing ranges for bloodwork that pertain to thyroid cancer patients.  Thanks!

All I know is your TSH should be below .1 and your Tg should be "undetectable".

Have your adrenals checked.  Adrenal fatigue is common with thyroid disorders and with weight gain.  It also has the same symptoms as hypothyroid.  Get another full panel blood test including DHEA, cortisol, Vit D and B12.  You could be deficient in any of these areas.

I am so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time losing weight.  I am new to this forum, but we both have something in common I had a TT done 12-21-07 due to Papillary thyroid cancer.  I know someone will be able to give you some information on what they have learned so just hang tight!  This is a great place to ask questions!!
