Amylase levels?

This is a bit of a random one, but I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers? Rheumatology requested that I get some bloods done, and one of the things tested was amylase, which I'd never heard of before!

The Preventive Effect of Parotid Gland Massage on Salivary Gland Dysfunction During High-Dose Radioactive Iodine Therapy

If you do need radioactive iodine thyroid treatment, this paper appears to favour parotid gland massage. The parotid glands are the major salivary glands in humans and can be damaged by the radioiodine. I do not know anything about how you're supposed to massage the parotid glands!

High Amylase reading

Whenever I have been to hospital with AF, they have done this particular blood test as part of the usual suite of tests. Amylase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas; a normal reading is below 100 but mine has been consistently between 130-155.Whenever I have been to hospital with AF, they have done this particular blood test as part of the usual suite of tests.

New results in - should I hold or add t4 at this point?

Hey again! I was feeling overmedicated when I upped my t3 from 17.5 to 20 with 112 Levo. Little history: previously was unable to raise my t3 above 10mcg + with 125 Levo.
