I got my test results today and they are all in range. My husband thinks it’s in my head. My GP thinks so too. Has anyone out there had good numbers but still felt crummy? I’m still convinced it’s the Synthroid. I’m med intolerant to most meds so why not this one. I find got a prescription for Thyroid. I pick it up tomorrow. Won’t relax until it’s in my hand. I’m not a person who wants attention and this is a way to get it. I’m not any more anxious than most people or depressed.
Here are my numbers
TSH 3.61
FREE T3 13.8
Free T4 3.5

You will need to supply ranges (numbers in brackets) for members to be able to comment.
Remember “numbers” only confirm the amount of thyroid hormone in the blood and not the amount that is working on an intracellular level. Therefore yes, many members feel unwell with supposedly good lab results.
Is it the nutrients (amongst other things) that will help make thyroid hormone replacement work and that is why it is mentioned so much on this forum.
You have said you have high iron but if you post recent test recents for Vit B12, folate and Vit D members will comment.
In range does not mean optimal for you. You must consider both your blood work and how you feel . If you don’t feel well, then you are not in the optimal range for you. There were many times my blood work was in range and I felt bad - so can’t just go by that.
No need to retract. He still had tunnel vision and told me he wouldn’t even listen to my arguments. He said he just couldn’t do something he was so against. I respect that. He is just a young one too. 31 this month ( and he’s gorgeous and told me once that I was his favourite patient.lol) See why I like him so much. Dirty old lady lol.
Hi. Your numbers are way off Your tsh is way too high. No wonder you feel bad! Drs really like it around 1 or 2 but def under 3. Your t3 Is high! You need a new Dr and tell your husband this is a real thing! A good dr will go by how your feeling and not just look at your numbers but in this case your numbers do not lie.
All the blood test show it the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood, it doesn't tell how much thyroid hormone is being taken up by the thyroid receptor sites and taken into our cells. Not matter how much thyroid hormone is in the blood, it can't be used by the body until it enters the cells.
