[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 5314, member: 696"] Yeah, there's definitely some trouble in the thyroid department. A healthy level of FT4 an FT3 would be in the 50% to 80% area of the range values. Your FT4 is on the negative at -32%, your FT3 is positive, but only at 13%. This tells me that your conversion process, or deiodinase D2 function is good, but the body is demanding more T3 to achieve balance, which reflects both (T4 and T3) being below normal, but the FT3 being to the right on the scale due to the body's demand. This definitely reflects hypothyroidism. Again, the obvious is that you are not producing enough thyroid hormone. Your TSH is mildly elevated, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher at one point, just depending on how long this has been going on. The question is: What is causing this? Your doctor covered the TPO antibody, looking for autoimmune at the enzyme level, but you definitely need to take it a step further with getting the TgAb antibody, which is more on protein level of the thyroid, and responsible for production of both T4 and T3. There's several additional labs that you should take a look at. Instead of posting them all, just take a look at [url]http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/[/url] .. There's no reason not to get all of them, but I'd be really interested in the MTHFR genetic profile, iron/ferritin, & the cortisol 4x. Way too young for this, so work closely with your physician to find some answers. Please keep us updated with your progress. [/QUOTE]
