TEST RESULTS - Feeling hyper again!

[jacoloubser]

Hi There

Condition:

Male, 31 years old. Partial Thyroidectomy on 6 August 2010 due to a toxic nodule.Was hyper for 3 months before my surgery on 6 Aug.

My test results are :

TSH - 1.62    (0.50 - 2.00) Test taken 8H00 in the morning (20 Sept 2010)
Free T3 - 5.6 (3.1 - 6.8)     Test taken 16h00 in the afternoon (4 Oct 2010)
Free T4 - 24  (12 - 22)       Test taken 16h00 in the afternoon (4 Oct 2010)

Medication:
Euthyrox 50 (Levothyroxine) once per day, 8H00 every morning since 16 August 2010

My symptoms:
Weight loss , dizzy , fatigue , fast heartrate , headaches , loose stools , no energy , mild depression , sluggish.

I will only be able to consult the docter next week regarding the test results.I truly think this looks like hyperthyroidism again, but I could be wrong.TSH and FT3 looks ''normal'' but T4 is high.If I look at my symptoms I would recon hyper.

Thanks for your comments!!!!

You should talk to your doctor about decreasing and going to a steady dose of meds each day - not flip-flopping each day with different dosages.

Hi Justin

I think your T4 is a bit high and TSH low. From what I have learned from the doctor is that everyone is different and some people might be more sensitive to even a little elevation in the levels of your labs.Some people doesnt even notice anything wrong , but with me,if the level is only off by 1, I get horrible symptoms.

Tests look fine.. Almost the same as mine..

> Free T4 25.0  (10 -20)
> TSH: 0.11 (0.30 – 4.00)
> Free T3 6.4 (3.0 – 6.5)
>

I'm on 150mcg x 4 days and 100mcg x 3 days..

My T4 is also high, maybe too high and Tsh too low?
