Haje - Are these lab result with or without meds? By the way, they are incomplete. T3 the most active thyroid hormone is normal, but is often until very late in the process, Free T4 the less active thyroid hormone is very very low??? no typo ???(normal is 9-23), what is the TSH (is the hormone from the pituitary gland which is high if thyroid is underactive, and is low if thyroid is overactive)? Antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is often seen in Graves disease as well in Hashimoto's disease. Although the information is incomplete, you could have a severe hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) due to an autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto), or if you have Graves disease and on meds you're over treated; whatever it is, you need thyroid hormone. Is there somebody who is treating you? I think you need an internist (endocrinologist).

ReplyDeletethis site is quite interesting. It has a section dealing with what the numbers on our blood tests mean and whether we should worry or not.
