Hi,
I've just got back from an appointment with my endo where she said there's nothing else she can do for me, and she's made me an appointment with a psychologist and suggests I see a Fibromyalgia specialist.
I've got no thyroid as it was removed due to thyroid cancer (full details in my profile), and have seen tiny steps of improvement as my dosage has been increased, but I'm still largely house bound and struggling to prepare meals and dress myself regularly. The endo says she can see no explanation for this in my blood results. Here are the later:
Dosage: 125mcg Levothyroine, 40mcg Liiothyronine
TSH = <0.05 (0.30-6)
Free T3 = 7.6 (3.6-6.4)
Free T4 = 16 (10-22)
PI Cortisol = 531 (140-500)
I asked her if it was a bad thing that the T3 was high, as I've heard that on these boards, but she said she had no idea about that! I am planning to go on the a private physician, probably Dr Chapman, and she said she thought it was a good idea. So she's open to other suggestions, but doesn't seem to have that much of a clue.
Would love to hear any comments on what these results might indicate. The only short term option could be reducing the liiothyronine a bit? Previously I was on 150 T4 / 20 T3, but I didn't feel any better.
Thanks all!
