new labs need some interpreting

[ammy111]

My new thyroid results seem to be looking really good, however I still feel the same, no major improvements in my health. I still have trouble sleeping and getting out of bed in the morning, can’t lose weight no matter how hard I try, have mental fatigue and physical fatigue. Do my thyroid results look completly normal? I was given natural thyroid replacement and I think that it only improved my ft3, while my ft4 hasn't really improved too much. Can I still be experiencing symptoms if T3 is normal but T4 is lowish? Does it sound strange that Im not feeling anybetter with my T3 at that level? I was told it didnt really matter what T4 was.

Thankyou!

Tf4 13 (9-25)
Tsh .71 (.50-5)
Ft3 6 (3.5-6.5)

yes it is perscription its called Desiccated Thyroid Extract. Its made from pigs thyoid have you not heard of it?

Is this a prescription medication?  Could you look at the bottle and let me know what it is?  

[ammy111]

no I think I stoped it a day or two before the blood draw. I was on and off it, cause I didn't feel any difference on it, and kept forgeting to take it. I believe it is natural thyroid extract from pigs thyroid, And it is T3, doesn't contain any or hardly any t4

What med are you on?  Why have you been "on and off" the med for a couple of months? Did you take your med just prior to the blood draw?

[ammy111]

I was taking 60mg daily. I stoped taking the meds I think a day before the blood tests, I cant really remember. I had been on it off and on again for a couple months, leading up to the last week I took it daily.I have only been tested for Vit D.

I feel like my symptoms reflect my T4 and not T3 if that makes sense.

Just a couple of questions for you before trying to respond to your questions.  What is your daily dosage  amount?  Did you take your meds before the blood draw for the tests?  How long have you been on your current dosage?  Have you been tested for Vitamin A, D, B12, and iron/ferritin?
