Add in selenium to help with conversion and you could very well find that your thyroxine will work better, your TSH might drop a bit and your FT4 and FT3 might increase. BUT all your other Vits and mins are poor, far too low in their ranges and you need to supplement to get ALL of them at their optimal levels. Your ferritin is good, could perhaps be a bit higher, 100-130 is best, so you don't have to worry too much about that. Optimal levels of vitamins and minerals are needed for thyroid hormone to work properly. T4 is converting to T3 but as T3 should be a bit higher in it's range than T4 is in it's range, then FT3 could be a bit higher. TSH= 1.96 0.34-4.94mIU/L - with a treated hypo patient the aim is to get the TSH down to 1 or below or wherever it needs to be for the FT4 and FT3 to be in the upper part of their ranges.įT3=4.3 2.63-5.7pmol/L - is approx 54% through the rangeįT4=15.3 9.01-19.05pmol/L- is approx 63% through the range SeasideSusie Administrator in reply to misfits73 6 years ago You want your FT3 to be somewhere up near the top of the range - somewhere where it makes you feel good! 5 years is just too long on a starter dose. But the difficulty will be persuading your doctor that bottom of the range just isn't good enough. You won't get any help with that from your doctor, because they know nothing about nutrients, either!ġ00 mcg is more or less a starter dose, so you really do need an increase. So, best to get those tested, and supplement any that are low. Have you had your vit d, vit B12, folate and ferritin tested? They all need to be optimal - not just in range - for your body to be able to absorb and convert the T4 you are giving it. Possible you aren't converting very well. And educate your doctor if at all possible.ĭifficult to say for certain, but even without the ranges, your FT3 looks a bit low. That is why you have to learn as much as you can about your disease, and take charge of your own health. They don't understand the subtleties, and have no idea how bad low thyroid makes us feel.
You have to remember, that doctors know nothing about thyroid. At the moment, it obviously isn't, because you still have symptoms. And, to feel well, you need your FT3 to be 'optimal'. But, 'in range' isn't the same as 'optimal'. When your doctor says 'normal', he doesn't actually mean 'normal', he means 'in range'. Important counseling points are listed below.Hi, do you have the ranges for the FT4 and the FT3? It would help enormously if you have. Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. Take as directed by your doctor or follow the direction printed on the product insert. Some health conditions may make you more susceptible to the side-effects of the drug.
