What time of day was the blood drawn? The FREE T4 looks very low, but I can't tell without knowing the reference ranges your lab uses. Do you have a copy of the lab report? If so what is the reference range listed (different labs use different ranges). |

Thanks so much for responding! This is what i have from the lab: LAB RESULT NORMAL RANGE TSH, Ultra Sensitive .880ulU/ml .340-5.6 Free T4 (thyroid) .80ng/dl .5 - 1.5 My doc says it's normal - but when i did some research - it sounds like it is low. Not that i want to be on a med - would try natural things first. I just seem to fit so many of the characteristics... Especially always cold! Thanks for any thoughts! |

I too have just had my thyroid checked and I am waiting on the results. I've had it checked in the past and it has always come back normal, but I too am always cold. It's 90 degrees here in Houston with high humidity and I'm the idiot with a long sleeve sweater on. I would love to hear the outcome of yours once you figure it out.

Jen, there is a doctor in Houston names Dr. Hotze (or something like that). He often does radio interviews (or did in the past). Have you ever heard of him? |

No I haven't. What kind of doctor is he? Are you in Houston?

Do a web search for Dr. Steven Hotze. He has a web site. He has written books about women and hormomes (inclucing thyroid hormones). I am not in Houston, I live in South Carolina. |
