I know the tsh is high, should be 1.0. Not sure what the low t4 and RT3 indicate.
10-4 on the probiotic, I’ll get some good stuff from the cold section at the health food store. Start now and again after antibiotics.
Sorry if it seems im not sharing important stuff. I made the classic mistake of starting multiple threads. You have helped me with all individually but I know the big picture is impossible when facts and vital information is spread around. I’ll update my main post asap to include these things.
Though it has a long recovery time and sounds rather brutal it’s actually an ambulatory surgery. Unless they get in and the infection is beyond what they expect. Just barely according to the surgeon. So no pump just lots of stool softener and fiber during the recovery.
Many people on thyroid meds need to get TSH pushed well below 1.0 to clear symptoms.
rT3 is great, try to get fT3 up to mid range or a bit higher and use waking body temperatures as a dosing guide.
T4 is way too low, suggesting that you are quite under-medicated as TSH=2.2 suggests.
I’m going to call and talk to the PA about increasing my dose. Could be an adventure but I’ll get it done.
Yes Sir. I eat some iodized salt with every meal. Don’t have any in my daily vitamins. thinking about picking up something with a little iodine and selenium.
I’m surprised my rt3 was low considering i’ve had a hidden infection for the last several months. I knew something was going on because my lymphs were way out of the normal proportion with monocytes and neutrophils on my last several tests. Doc said not to worry about it, way to go doc.
Strangely enough my body temperatures for the first time in my entire life have been right at 98.6 lately. I think its a fever from the infection though. lol
