New Labs after 1 month on Tapazol

[keystone206]

If you remember I was a bit of a mystery. I can add the link to my prev postings if that helps, but here are my newest results:

TSH: 0.59 Range ( 0.34 - 5.60)

Thyroxine Free 0.7 ( 0.6 - 1.1)

T3 Free 2.9 ( 2.0 - 3.5)

How do these look?

Thanks

I take it these are fine then...
Having an interesing week here. I work in Cedar Rapids Iowa in the downtown area. We had to relocate of course. And it has been a nightmare getting to and from work!

Ooohhh ... Take care there. I've been thinking about for two days, between the flooding and the Scout camp tragedy.

Your labs look for all the world like secondary hypoT. Bottomed out FT4, lowish TSH, adequate FT3. I recall you have an unusual condition, but not all the specifics without going back and looking it up. The main thing is... Are you feeling better? Hope so!

Midwest! Are you in any danger with the flooding? Thankfully the water started to recede a bit yesterday, but there is still just one way across the Cedar River in the state of Iowa. My place of work I am sure will have to relocate permanently, but we are in a position were we don't rely on the local population for our business, and can relocate fairly easily.
Thank-you for looking these labs over. I feel pretty good. Other than being diagnoses as fibro, and being very very tired lately, I'd say that goes what you said about the secondary hypoT? I had been all geared up to write the Endo a letter when he had first put me on the Tapazole, but I never did. I was so upset over his never following through with seeing me as he said he would. Yesterday when I was at work, his nurse actually called and spoke to my 14 year old son, and told him that my blood work came back fine, that I should keep up with my current medication!
Thanks again, and I hope you are staying dry!

Hi keystone,

Sorry to hear about the flooding. That's a terrible thing to be going thru.

I'd call the doctor's office and tell em that a 14 year old is not someone to leave a message like that with. There should be a form in your chart that says who it's ok to leave a message with or if a message should be left at all even on an answering machine. I've been changing all my authorizations to no messages. If they wanna say something, I want them to say that something to me so that I've got an opportunity to ask questions.

They are interesting labs and as I recall, your's have always been a bit weird but like midwest said, the main thing is how you feel on your current medication. If you feel well enough, sometimes it's worth letting the labs look weird for a while and see what happens. Not everyone feels good at the same levels. When do they plan on doing followup labs and what's your current dose of tapazole?
