Free T4.
They did the tests for Hashimoto's no Hashimoto's but I dont understand why I feel soo bad and dead. No energy,brain is dead.
Lethargy like my life is over and other people still live. I just feel lost. I cant even hold conversation anymore so not sure how to figure this out with doctor that doesnt know me. I used to be energetic and happy and bright. Now I am complete opposite :(

Can you post your FT4 and also the range with it?



You should ask for a FT3 test...sometimes our FT4 can be good, but our body isn't converting to T3 effectively.

Girlie
T4 Free 1.5. Range 0.93-1.70
TSH 4.57. Range 0.27-4.20

The test in Europe TSH 6.15 I think should be 0.5-5.00
T3 and T4 I dont know range

Traveler, I had to cut in to tell you that just from me trying the thyroid drainage movements in that video link you posted I momentarily felt my throat opening up for the first time in many months. Just for a moment. I had been complaining of what felt like a swelling or thickening that I couldn't cough up that seemed to have diminished my throat size by half, which of course has made getting air in a constant struggle.

My hands tired and my long hair kept getting in the way, so I didn't do more than she did in demo. Can't wait to see what further and longer work at this does. I book marked it, thank you!

Hmm..I'm not one of the thyroid 'experts' - but it looks like your T4 is good. But your TSH is high.
I think you should get the FT3 done....to see if you're converting T4.


Hopefully Astroman will be on to comment.

Yes your T4 is good, but still check the FT3. It does appear that you could use some thyroid support. Again, that could be herbal support or you may require just a small amount of thyroid medication. But to really determine what may be needed, you really need to have FT3 checked. Some people have been able to support their thyroid with zinc, iron, iodine, etc. Again your doctor needs to really do a nutrient profile, etc., to really begin to understand what's needed to support balancing your thyroid. Everyone doesn't have to take thyroid medication.

YAY!! turn I'm so very happy this has helped you!! Lymph massages have done a world of good for me too! That's why I'm always pestering people to do them! smilewinkgrin

I'm having issues with allergies right now (many here are) and I had some of the lymph glands that surround the throat swell and be quite painful. I keep doing those lymph massages on them to bring a tad of relief.

I agree with Krimpet on this. And here is an excellent site for accurate thyroid information: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/

Thank you. I am just looking at that site. I feel horribly brain dead
and have zero energy and many other symptoms but not sure what is the diference between Lyme and hypothyroidism symptoms?
They seem same so I am confused :-/
Posted 7/4/2016 8:55 PM (GMT 0)
Yes, both can zap your energy as well as fuzzy brained, confusion, etc. in addition to the FT3, try to get your other hormone levels ( estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA) checked as well. You may also need your adrenals checked (saliva). Some of the previously mentioned are included in the adrenal testing. When you are chronically sick, so many hormones and nutrients can be negatively effected and in need of restoration.

This is a really good site to help you understand some of the symptoms of thyroid issues. They also cover many of the adrenal fatigue symptoms too.
