Thyroid lab results: T3 is high--help?

Posted by gardenergirl on June 2, 2005, at 15:48:45

Hi all,
Anyone want to help me interpret my thyroid lab results? I know I should make an appointment with the doc to discuss them, but it seem silly since we just did this when they took the blood. Perhaps he can call in a scrip change rather than me going in with another copay.
Anyhoo, my T3 is elevated: 217.1 (reference range = 60-181). My TSH is very very low: <0.02.
I take 1.5 grains (90mg) of Armour Thyroid. I used to take levoxyl, but when TSH got high again, I switched. I'm guessing I should go back to just taking T4??
Any suggestions? Any symptoms associated with a high T3 and low TSH? I would think I would be feeling hyperthyroid...with the headache, insomnia, and jitteriness. I haven't really noticed anything.
Thanks in advance!
