Hello Dr.
I am 31 years old and female. My latest labs for thyroid after being on Synthroid 137mcg for 2 years now (for hashimotos) are as follows:
TSH 0.25 ( 0.40-5.5)
Free T4 1.6 (0.8-1.8)
Free T3 302 (230-420)
ACTH 52 (5-27)
8am cortisol 27.7 (3.0-17.0)
DHEAS 679 (40-325)
Testosterone Total 51 (2-45)
Testosterone Free 13.8 (0.1-6.4)
IGF 127 (126-291)
Vitamin D, 25-OH Total 11(20-100)
I have been having horrible symptoms of weight gain, severe fatigue, acne, hair growth, muscle pain/aches, dizziness, headaches, etc.
What do you make of these labs, the endo is thinking cushings/pituitary problem. I had an MRI of the pituitary but it only revealed an empty sella.
Is my thyroid ok? Would I do better on a T3/T4 combo. The weight gain is horrible. I know you probably won't believe me but I am on a very strict carb controlled, low cal plan and in one day I can gain five pounds..but besides the weight I feel very ill.
I would love your input.
Thank you,
Marie
