I've been feeling pretty good on my current prescription (105mg Armour Thyroid: 60mg early afternoon, 45mg at bedtime), plus <a href="http://thyroidstory.mivox.com/mivox/supplements/natural_supplements_thyromine">Thyromine</a> and <a href="http://thyroidstory.mivox.com/mivox/my_story/my_current_regimen">vitamins</a> in the morning.</p> <p>So, I was optimistic that my blood levels had dropped enough from last time (when my T4 and T3 was acceptable to the PhA, but my TSH was 10Xs lower than the bottom end of normal, and she wasn't comfortable with that, so she lowered my dose from 120mg/day to 105mg), that the doc would be willing to renew my current prescription.</p> My Story Test Results Wed, 04 Oct 2006 12:50:11 -0700 http://thyroidstory.mivox.com/mivox/test_results/medical_records_to_date <p>Here it is: the bare-bones history of my test results, vital stats and prescriptions since my first TSH test in September. In most cases, the prescription and vitals listed for a particular month were taken/written 3–4 days after the blood tests were drawn, so I've just grouped them all together.</p> <dl> <dt>September 2005</dt> <p>Went in for initial exam, had a gazillion blood tests ordered.</p> <dd><strong>Labs:</strong> (27 Sept.) <em>TSH:</em> 150.0 uIU/mL (normal: 0.350–5.500)<br /> <strong>Vitals:</strong> T:98.5 BP:124/92 HR:68 W:199.25</dd> <p></p> <dt>October 2005</dt> <p>Returned for test results, was given initial prescription, and sent for more bloodwork.</p> <dd><strong>Labs:</strong> (06 Oct.) <em>T4, Free (Direct):</em> 0.36 ng/dL (normal 0.61–1.76)<br /> <em>Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum (T3):</em> 1.5 pg/mL (normal: 2.3–4.2)<br /> <strong>Vitals:</strong> T:98.3 BP:108/82 HR:70 W:198.5<br /> <strong>Prescription:</strong> 125mcg levothyroxine (generic)</dd> Test Results Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:00:05 -0700
