My lab results were 0.0000  The normal range is .300-3.000. What does my 0 result mean?

I see tapozole listed...is there any other thyroid med?

Have you had an RAI?

Unfortunately, not all hyperthyroid people lose weight. THere are a few that do the opposite.

There are a couple of posts of hyper people gaining.

Still didn't answer my question about the meds and the FREES. Those would explain a lot.

Your tachacardia returned because you are hyper.

Are you taking Tapazole again?

[Grandmagrandpa]

2 weeks ago my tachicardia returned and my doctor put me on Inderal. It is helping.

10 years ago I had a thyroid storm heart failure and was treated with Tapazole for 4 years for my hyperthyroidism. I was very thin. I gained 100 lbs on Tapazole. My hyperthyroidism returned because I have the old symptoms again but this time I am fat and can't seem to lose weight.  I never weighed more than 110 lbs until I turned 50.

You have Grave's disease, correct?
What medication are you taking?

[Grandmagrandpa]

Thank you but if I am hyperthyroid, why am I 100 lbs overweight?

[peggy64]

Are you on synthroid or armour? what is your Free T3 and free T4? if you are on armour, those are better indicators than a TSH.

Are you having any symptoms of hyperT

[AR-10]

It means you are hyperthyroid.
