| Low T3 - Please help me interpret my labs!
Hi! I'm new to this hypothyroid group.
My symptoms are: Hirsutism, cystic acne (face and back), major hair loss, weight gain/trouble losing weight, fibroids, afternoon fatigue, pms, constipation, cold hands/feet, High DHEA!, Low T3, Low D. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2005.
Just last week, my rheumatologist put me on 5mcg of cytomel a day until I can get to an endocrinologist for my low T3.
Labs in December:
TSH= 1.21 (.4-4.5)
T4 free= 1.4 (.8-1.8)
T3 Total= 66 L (76-181)
thyroglobulin antibodies= 1
thyroid peroxidase antibodies= 1
I have only been on Cytomel 1 week. I feel more energy. I have had a little weight loss. But I have had more hair loss! I have to stop it today as I have too much hair loss. What are your thoughts on my labs? My low T3? I also have rheumatoid arthritis and pcos symptoms, fyi. What could be causing this? What is the solution? Thanks in advance!
