thyoglobulin antibodies <20
TSH 2.06 mlU/L
Free T4 index (T7) 2
T4 THYROXINE total 8.1mcg/dl
T3 uptake 25%

Dr says they are fine i had them done through Lab Corp in NC i have no idea where to find the ranges that they use?

I am having nervousness,moody,lack of energy,foggy thinking.i mess up my words sometimes i have to think of what i am trying to say or i say the wrong word,weight gain 50lbs in 3 yrs about 25 in the last year. NO libido at all,headaches once in awhile,i feel like my heart is shaking mostly that happen late afternoon and night.

I do take xanax since the dr says it is Anxiety and I think there is a underlying medical condition i have NO reason to have anxiety at all i am not depressed either.

I did ask to have my coritsol checked since i read that may be some of this also. so i am going to endocrinologist this Wednesday. Dr tried to put me on Celexa but i do not want to take something i do not need!! And have to wean off that like i will have to the xanax i take 1 mg a day of that.

Any advice help would be great I am just sick of being told it is Anxiety take a pill.

thank you

At the very least I would recommend boosting your magnesium levels just in case you are too low.  This link goes into the types of magnesium available...

thank you for your response. I use to eat LOADS of sugar also. I cut most of it out over the past 5 months and barley have any. But I just can not help to think there is a underlying medical problem.

It is hard to get tot the bottom when my Dr just says it is anxiety. Maybe i have not had a blood work up in over a year. Maybe i need to go to a new Dr and got alot of blood work done instead of the run of the mill stuff. thank you for your help have a great day

There are various ranges used depending on the lab method so it is hard to say if all your labs are in normal range or not. But generally speaking, nothing is really standing out as abnormal. Just to add, Free T4 index (T7), total T4 and T3 uptake will not tell you how much free thyroid hormone is available directly. Those tests are free T4 and free T3.

I had anxiety from both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. I also had anxiety from magnesium deficiency (I was losing magnesium because I was eating too much sugar).
