Thyroid-s

[bellameow]

if my lab result is good. Will starting thyroid-s help me feel better?

T3 - 6.85 (3.5-6.5)

T4 - 16.2 (9-25)

TSH - 0.22 (0.4-4.7)

It looks a little unbalanced. Have they tested reverse T3?

No doctor is willing to do that for me..

I still feel i'm not as focus as last time (couple years ago). And my weight is still gaining. Recently, my eye twitch. not sure if it's related.

All things are usually related in some way, no matter what doctors think. They like to divide the body up into little segments and treat each one seperately, like a collection of spare parts.

So, those test results only show us what's in the blood, not what's getting into the cells. To get the hormone into the cells, you need to be well nourished. Have you been dieting to try and lose that weight?

The best thing to do would be to ask your doctor to test your

vit D

vit B12

folate

iron

and ferritin

Vit B12 needs to be about 1000 - probably well over range, but the ranges aren't realistic. The rest need to be at least mid-range. So, if you get those done, then post the results here, we'll be able to advise you how best to supplement deficiencies.

It isn't just about hormones! And if you have nutritional deficiencies, then Thyroid S won't work for you, either.
