- Hi all,I appreciate your insight. I've not been feeling right so did a 6 week lab rather then 8 weeks.Trouble sleeping, feeling hyper regardless of food intake, just off, if you know what I mean ohyeah and hot flashes again.Dr wants me to go back...
- Good Morning,Well since Dec '12 I have been on .0625 mg of MMI daily. I take the full dose in the morning. After about 6 weeks I felt totally normal for about 5 weeks and then I started getting hot flashes, no sleep, etc. My blood work showed...
- Hi All,As promised here are my labs from yesterday with a bit of history and the ranges. I expect to fight with Endo because as usual I figure he'll want to increase things because the TSH is falling - although it's at least still registering. I...
- Good Morning!Well it's been a while since I've connected with you. In Dec I was put on a daily dose of MMI at .625mg per day rather then a 1.25 every other day. It took about 4 weeks and since then I have been feeling great - almost hesitate to...
- Hi,I had my endo appt on Fri and his theory on the T3 total is that theT4 production is restricted enough to prevent the making of the T3 andfelt as long as I am on the MMI even low doses it may be an issue with me. He agreed to the increase of the...
- HI All,I would love your input on what is happening with the t3 - I go seethe Dr tomorrow but received the results today. I wish he would humorme and do a FT3 but won't so I'm stuck trying to understand this labresult.....TSH 10/30 .54 .27-4.20 ...
- Hi All!Well, I have new lab results and it appears that remission is becoming more probable. Dr asked me about stopping the medicine and I see him in Dec. I remember reading either here or on Elaine Moore's site that it is best to go every other...
- Hi everyone! I am beginning to wonder if I will ever understand the Total T3 that Dr insists on running vs the FT3. Hopefully you guys can help educate me on how to interpret the values vs how I feel. I'm getting the addage - its in normal ranges...
- First off I want to say THANK YOU! All of you have been so supportive and helpful through this Grave's Disease journey. i appreciate each and every one of you. Because of your help and our mentor Elaine Moore, I feel I have been proactive in my...
- Hi,I forgot to ask on the Seriously? thread - I did get the results of the T3 and he didn't do a FT3 and I don't remember the logic behind it - I just kind of figured at this point "whatever" if you know what I mean. Anyway, justgot the result and...
- Ok gang the more I think about my appointment yesterday at OHSU which is the best hospital in the state, ahmmm, the angrier I get. Here are the results using their ranges which is a bit different from the local lab:TSH .05 range .34 to 5.6FreeT4...
- Hi all,Well, went to Oregon Health Science University Endo lab today in search of the needle in a haystack and I think I'm still searching. Dr did a test called FT4 serum - is that the same as a regular Free T4 test? It haddifferent levels - my...
- Hi Everyone....Well, I just had a colonoscopy yesterday, moved my mom from the hospital to nursing home rehab for a broken hip and working full time, etc so life is pretty stressful. Between the prep for the procedure and the stress I am having...
- Hi All,I know this has been answered at some point but I wanted to ask again about the use of Fish Oil for the Omega3's and Soy - for soy milk for nondairy and protein value with Graves? Do you use them or not?I;ve been using coconut milk but it...
- Hi all,Thanks so much for the advice and support on the previous posts. I think I am still a little unclear as to how the FT3 actually works. It was suggested to go back to the 1.25 mg to raise the FT4 from the 1.88 mg and this may lower the FT3 a...
