Lab work, HELP

[LoveHopeandGD]

New lab 4weeks after RAI...seems to be still low BUT...slowing improving and still no medication. I was under the impression that the only way to get better was with the Hormone replacement...I know it's not a huge difference but now I am really confused!!!
           7/8/14
FREE T4 1.0 (0.8-1.8)
FREE T3 2.6 (2.3-4.2)
           6/25/14
FREE T4 0.8 (0.8-1.8)
FREE T3 2.4 (2.3-4.2)
TSI 119% baseline
TSH 1.43. (0.4-4.5)

I think you may be right, Barb. I am have to get a second opinion and fast. I am very worried!!

I think you need a new doctor.  You've had RAI to kill your own thyroid and your levels are very low, yet your endo won't give you hormones to bring them up where they need to be...

The only way your levels will go back to the hyper side is if he gives too high dose of medication, too quickly.  Somehow, I get the feeling he has his eye on the TSH, not the FT levels, as he be watching.

I feel okay, I was having some muscle spasm two weeks ago but that's it. My Endo feels very strong about not placing me on The medication because of the fear of me going back to hyper if we rush.  what do you think??

The results show virtually no change what so ever.  the difference is nearly within the testing variation margin for error.

Yes BOTH look very low in range.  

How do you feel?  Are you having Hypo symptoms.  I suspect you would with lab results like that.

If so you are right that the only solution is to add in some thyroid hormone prescription.

If you have any hypo symptoms I would suggest you ask your Dr for a starter dose of T4 and see what that produces.
