Blood Drug Testing

I am trying to interpret my thyroid blood test results?

I have recently been tested for thyroid condition My results are: TSH - .011 (L) Free t-4 – 1.83 (H) T3 free - 4.35 TSI, ql - 175 (H) What do these results mean? I am not holding anyone to theories but curious what a typical interpretation would be? Grave’s disease? Pituitary? Adrenal fatigue? Hashimoto’s combination? Etc…

1. Hi. Please don't rely on Yahoo Answers to interpret your medical tests. You need to call your doctor and ask them so you can get the correct information. I don't think there are too many doctors sitting around answering questions on here. People on here would only be guessing, and your health is more important then that. Best bet, ask your doctor. Good luck to you :-)
2. Don't know but this is how you should treat your thyroid naturally. First off all if you are in the UK, 99% of doctors do not know how to treat thyroid disease. They only know about Thyroxin which is a synthetic CHEMICAL and should not be in your body. It has many side affects, many don’t feel well on thyroxin as you may well find in a couple of months...weight gain, extreme fatigue, frequent bowel movements, puffy eyes and dry skin, and many others. People with under active thyroid glands who take Synthyroid (thyroxine) should be warned that this drug stimulates osteoclast activity, accelerating bone resorption, and leading to osteoporosis. Natural thyroid medication is available in most countries and is far superior. Thyroid disease has become epidemic, due to our stressful lives and ill-conceived diets. Soy, in particular, which is used so widely now, suppresses thyroid function and should be banned in all its forms. In the long term it leads to osteoporosis. In time you will experience these side affects, so please keep the information that I am about to tell you as you WILL need it. You can treat your thyroid by natural medication with NO side affects. The medication is called Armour Thyroid and is derived from pig’s glands that have a great success rate. They actually used to prescribe it in this country for people with thyroid disease. Yet most doctors don’t even know that, in fact most doctors will not have heard of it and advice you against it while not being able to give you scientific evidence why you shouldn’t! That’s because it’s all about money not health. Their problem with natural products is that nobody can patent them, so the government cannot have exclusive ownership. But they can by making up synthetic chemicals. What you need to know is that about 85% of people are unable to transfer T4 into T3 when they use Thyroxin. T3 is essential to the function of the main organs of your body. Armour thyroid naturally has T4, T3 and T2 and T1 and it make you feel well with no side affects. Tyrosine does not have T2 & T1. Once you research it at the site below you can order it from the recommended site http://www.internationalpharmacy.com/en/home I was on Thyroxin for two years and did not feel well on it I had absolutely no energy and my weight ballooned up to 19 and a half stone. I started my Armour in April this year and I am now 15 and a half stone with loads of energy. Armour Thyroid helps increase your metabolism where thyroxin slows it down. As you don’t know me, don’t take my word for your health go to http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/ Sheila Turner (expert on thyroid disease) runs this thyroid patient advocacy site which will inform and educate you on your disease. There are over six hundred other people on that forum who are taking Armour Thyroid and can give you advice. Pretty soon you will see that doctors know absolutely nothing about treating the thyroid. The are ignorant about it. Beware of people on this site who are not what they seem, and will try and discredit amour thyroid at every opportunity. In the early 1960s, desiccated thyroid hormones (thyroid extract) began to be replaced by synthetic levothyroxine (T4), or by combinations of synthetic T4 and T3. Replacement occurred faster in the United Kingdom than in North America, but by the 1980s more patients were being prescribed synthetic levothyroxine or T4/T3 combinations than desiccated thyroid extract.
3. You have Grave's disease. The TSI test is definitive for Grave's disease. Didn't your doctor tell you that? Now you need treatment. Don't let your doctor scare you into making any decisions that will affect your life and your health forever while you are still digesting all of this. You need to be put on methimizole right away, and beta blockers if you need them. Once you are feeling better, THEN you can consider life altering treatments. Personally, I plan to be on methimizole for the rest of my life, or until I go into remission, which ever comes first.
