Hi all,
These are my results taken November 2019. Presently taking T4 100mcg + 10mcg T3, all taken & 6a.m. Tsh: 0.02 (0.32-4.00). FT4: 11 (9-19). Ft3: 3.5 (2.6-5.8) all nutrients all optimal and I’m on maintenance doses. Endo reluctantly agreed to increase but tells me to increase T4 and to decrease T3. I get pressures in my head and he feels the T3 is too powerful because of my age. (64) MRI of the pituitary is unremarkable. ACTH, Aldosterone, DHEAS are elevated. Could this be an adrenal issue? I would appreciate any suggestion from you knowledgeable members. He suggested increasing T4 to 125mcg and decreasing T3 to 5 mcg. I’m confused as to what I should do. I gained 10 lbs in 3 months, all around my abdominal region ( I look 6 months pregnant) loosing all my hair, very dry pale skin, muscle pain and hip pain, plantar fasciitis and heel pain both feet, no motivation, afraid to leave the house, probably depression.
Thanks to all.
