Both my mum amd brothers have had their thyroid bloods done. Would you please be able to offer advise.
MUM. ( on NO thyroid replacement)
TSH 2.79 (0.27-4.2)
FT4 12.4. (12-22)
FT3. 4.1. (3.1-6.8)
Mum is 74 and has always had very good health. As my brother and myself are hypo we thought she should get her bloods done. She has been feeling a bit tired over the last year and we wondered if her thyroid was playing up. Do you think she should supplement with a bit of Naturethroid? If so......how much? 1/4 grain? 1/2grain ? None?
I thought maybe her ft3 looked a bit low. Please could you offer your thoughts.
BROTHER - currently taking 1.5 grains of Naturethroid. Age 35
TSH 0.07. ( 0.27-4.2)
FT4 9.8. ( 12-22)
FT3. 5.2. ( 3.1- 6.8)
He's been on this dosage for quite a few months. He has yet to get the spring back in his step. Still a bit fatigued.
I think he'd like to raise his dosage but is concerned about suppressing his TSH further.( that old question!) I fail to see how osteoporosis occurs if you have enough ft3? He left about 18 hours after his last dose before testing. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
( neither has Hashimotos)
