Anyone with knowledge and experience dealing with thyroid and/or adrenal issues -- Please help me interpret these results so that when I visit my doc in August I will be well forearmed with all the info I need to hopefully convince him to treat my symptoms and not just dismiss them because the TSH is "normal"!
By the way I have read Stop the Thyroid Madness but it is confusing to me...possibly because of the thyroid-fogged brain syndrome
.
Here are the thyroid test results:
TSH....1.41
Free T4.....1.2
Free T3.....2.8
the reference ranges are listed as 0.40 - 4.50.
Here is my 24 hour saliva cortisol test results:
DHEA....6.1
Cortisol Morning.....4.1
Cortisol Noon........1.2
Cortisol evening.....0.8
Cortisol night.........0.8
there are two little charts underneath that shows that my DHEA is right in the average range, but the cortisol is at the very bottom of the low range. Other than that, no explanation.
So do all these results mean what I think they mean...I have free t3 and free t4 in the low range and the cortisol is also in the low range? I want to be very clear with my doctor if he says "you are normal" and I have to emphasize that just because my results technically fall in the normal range, they may still be too low and should be treated!
What do you think?
