I also received my Thyroid test back today from my TRT Dr.
Thyroxine (T4) was 0.98 (0.82-1.77)
TSH 2.130 (0.450-4.500)
Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum 2.2 (2.0-4.4)
I had the same tests run 6 months ago and T4 was 1.13. TSH was 2.720. Triiodothyronine was 2.3.
My doctor has Tanita Scale in his office and every 6 months takes measurements. My body fat from 6 months ago has gone up a little from 17% to 17.4%, almost everything else has stayed the same.
Since Christmas I have been strictly watching my diet and have been weight training 3 to 4 times a week. Cardio up to 2 times a day 5 days a week, and cannot lose weight. One day a week I eat want I want for about a 1/2 day. That I know does not help.
So my Dr said he can prescribe Armour Thyroid and start at 30mg a day and go from there.
My Test level was 998.3, Free Test was 26, all other numbers were in range.
I trust my Doctor but have a little reservation on starting Armour. If I start it and do not like it will it damage my Thyroid for the rest of my life? Can you safely get off?
He did not run reverse T, or any other thyroid tests? These test were LabCorps thyroid panel.
