Test results

Hi there I just got my test results from my End and was wondering if any one could help here.
TSH 0.33
T3 1.2
T411.1

They told me to lower my synthroid from 137 to 112
My symptoms are depression, anxiety, waking up at night and unable to go back to sleep, burning and tingling in my neck and arms, lose stools,
They all came about a month ago when my TSH was at 56 and my T4 was at 1.1. they put my on 137 synthroid from 112 and things have gotten worst.

Any input would be great.

Is your T4 11.1 or 1.1? Either way your symptoms do sound hyper. They have a 125 dose. Maybe somewhere inbetween 112 and 137 would be best? I personally never felt that great on synthroid even though my labs were on target. I had to switch to armour to feel better.

My total T4 is 11.1 and My T4 Free is 2.4
I can't take this any more. I just want to feel better

Hi Barretsark -
I had a terrible experience last spring when my T4 medication was increased. I got incredibly ill and have only now (November) started to see some improvement. I think I can understand how you are feeling and how desperate you are cause I have been there. Doctors do not understand what they are doing when they medicate with T4 and test and test and test. (In my opinion, of course.)

I am afraid I cannot explain to you what is happening with your thyroid, but it is definitely adjusting because of the changes in medication. And, that is why you are feeling like poop.... I think.

Sometimes the T4 thyroid medication does not work to fully make you feel better. I know this from personal experience, but I guarantee you if you take this in to your doctor they will tell you I have no idea what I am talking about.

Finding the right dose of medication takes a long time and I wish you good luck!

Thanks Black Lilly for the website I was diagnosed in June and have been trying to get on the right dosage. This website was very interesting and very helpful!
