Latest Test Results

[guysgrams]

Just got back my test results would like input please:

TSH 0.525 (0.350-5.500)

Thyroxine.free 1.42 (0.89-1.76)

Thyroxine 12.9 (4.5-10.9)

Triiodothyronine.free 2.6 (2.3-4.2)

Triiodothyronine 1.08 (0.60-1.81)

I am thinking I do not convert correctly. Am I correct in thinking this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

What medication and dosage are you taking? Did you take the medication on the morning of the test?

[guysgrams in reply to Hidden]

I am on Synthroid .137 and no medication 24 hours before the test. I was on Synthroid .125 for nearly 20 years and then things started bouncing around a year/2 years ago and I really started to feel unwell last January. The last two lab tests I have had showed my Thyroxine elevated beyond normal range (first one I was still experiencing hypo symptoms). I feel better now just not as energetic as I feel I should be but far better than I was 3 months ago.

DId you get your Iron panel tested? If you have low iron (due to low stomach acid) then your T4 will not convert as it should to T3. It could explain why your Free T3 is slightly on the low side.

There can be other factors like stress.

No I didn't get the iron test done this time.

Are you taking iron as a supplement?

[guysgrams]

No I'm not and haven't for many years. Almost 65 now.
