Hi
 
 I am on an iodine listserve. The people on this group are very  
knowledgeable about the meaning of the thyroid panel and all the nuances that  many 
conventional mds  are not aware of. You can email your panel results  and I 
think they may reassure you, and  will help you to get   back in range if your 
not.  [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask])

2.  Doctor is freaking out about my thyroid panel:   TSH  19.45  (normal 
range is .5-6);  Total T3-68.6 (normal  range 71-180); Circulating T3-1.09 
(range 2.0-4.9);T4 .69  (.75-1.54).    I explained that I had Hodgkins Lymphoma 
13  years ago, had massive full mantle radiation, and despite my doctors, 
was able  to save my Thyroid and stay off Synthroid.. For 12 of those years,  
I  have been on a natural bovine thyroid with B vitamin supplement called 
Thyroid  Plus.  I take 2 pills per day, and have decided to go for the full 4 
per  day.
