Can you either type out the results, also the numbers in brackets after your result (the reference range)? Either that or upload a qood quality screen shot.

Can you ask your parents for the results? We really need exact numbers.

We also need the reference ranges as they are different between labs.

Perhaps come back later when you have them in front of you.

Hey there - oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said you had the results and ranges -

We can't help with this as it stands -

Were you told to stay on the AT drug or to come off it - or to reduce or to increase the dose ?

So staying on the same dose as when you started ?

if you can also share with us your first set of blood tests at diagnosis -

probably a TSH + a Free T3 + a Free T4 reading and range it will make more sense as e will be able to what - if anything has improved since being on the AT drug:

and we also need to know the antibodies - which might look like TPO - TgAB- TRab - TSI - or a TSH Thyroid Receptor reading and numbers / ranges :

i could be wrong memory hasnt been the best

pennyannie in reply to tired995

Ok - that sounds about right -

the idea is that now you are on the AT drug we should see the disparity between these reduce -

with the T3 coming up and the T4 coming down -

so they both end up in their respective ranges -

but we do really need the actual readings/results and ranges and the antibody readings to say anything of any sense to you.

Hi tired995

Can you also share your posts here with your parents?

Especially the last one at this point, as it has information you and they likely will not hear from any doctor.

We are a community of thyroid patients on this forum. There is an incredible depth of medical, diagnosis/treatment, and symptom management experience.

When you ask them for the full blood test results, share it here. And do share this info with them. As an 18 year old, your parents will play an important and supportive role in your decisions and management.
