Default Thyroid Panel results

OKay.. my dr. SWEARS I'm still Normal!!

My TSH is now 4.7 - Range was .03-5.5
T4 is 1.1 - Range is .08 - 1.8
T3 is 20.9 - Range is (unknown but he said something about it being low and should be 25 - 29).

My TSH went up as well as my T4... Does that mean that now my T4 is up I'm good?

Nope, all three of your tests still indicate hypo. Did you ever get the antibodies test run?

Hopefully your new thyroid-friendly endo will be able to treat you. He/she may also be able to treat you for PCOS, and you may be able to fire the thyroid-unfriendly repro-endo.

Yes unfortunately you are still quite hypo. I hope you get a good doctor to see you soon.

heh my thyroid unfriendly RE said "Your results look good, even better than last time"

So okay, I thought he was going to be cool about the new ranges submitted by the AACE but he says "those ranges haven't be approved, they're just trying to get us to change but it's not a go yet"

Grrr

Thanks girls, I thought I still was all jacked up.

Hopefully I can make my appt. tomorrow. yay.

There are some experts who believe the TSH range should be 0.5-2.5, based on population studies. Here's a link for more info about this:

Here's the problem I'm running across... These "new" ranges are simply "suggestions" by the AACE and other Endo's. None of these have been officially brought into the medical field and accepted. Which really sucks!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this new endo will be in the know about the suggested new ranges and won't give me a hard time.

I don't know when I can see him now because he doesn't take new appointments until he receives the dr. notes and lab work from the referring dr. And my dr. office said it usually takes them 7 days to get the paperwork over to them. GRRR

I was hoping to have my appt. made and have seen this new dr. before my vacation on the 14th. *sigh*

I hate doctors!!!

Can't you pick up copies of the paperwork and run it over to the new doc yourself? Gosh have these people ever heard of A FAX MACHINE?

Yeah, no kidding. I can't pick them up and run them over there because it takes 7-10 days for them to get the results to anyone.. GRRR I wanted to have my appt. before I left on vacation. God, I know I'm going to be a raving bi*ch on this trip (we're driving to Boise, ID and it's about a 12 hr drive) and it's going to ruin my plans to really mend things with my dbf. Which is why we're driving... to spend quality time. But bleh...

*sigh* Maybe I have some sarafem and xanex left... =/
