In reply to Thyroid test scores in ...and the results mean?, posted by jrbecker on October 1, 2002, at 0:19:21
Hi,
I am at the moment looking at my chem panel and the normal range for T4 that they have here is 5.0-12.0. and TSH range is .35-5.50. What do your normal ranges state? Today I am going to discuss this with my pdoc. Even though my numbers are in range, they are still low which I am assuming would be hypo. I do have constant problems with energy levels, and my doc says it's the depression, but I wonder.I try to stay away from caffeine as much as possible, lately I've been taking yerba mate which is supposed to have mateine. It is similar to caffeine, being a stimulant, but no jitters and a more even stimulating effect. You can even drink it before bed. In Brazil they give it to children. IT does lift my mood as well.
My point is that I wonder about my low thyroid levels because I am constantly trying to bring my energy up with whatever I can (ginseng, blue-green algae). I will keep you posted when I find out more. I am going to be starting Lamictal here very soon, so I will be needing support from all of you.
Thanks! Let me know about your thyroid ranges.
Amy
