I have had hyperthyroidism for 20 years and have been on Tapazole. In July my endo wanted to do the RI thing. I said lets try PTU first to help with my liver enymes. Anyhow last tests in Sept- good. I'm on 50mg of PTU daily. This time: My results
T4 1.43 (.61-1.76) Norm
T3 3.8 (2.3-4.2) Norm
TSH .045 (.35-5.5) Low
So, I have an appt next week - he'll want to do RI because of the TSH. I do NOT want to I do not want to go hypo. As far as symptoms go- no shaking, no diarrhea, no trouble sleeping and my pulse is always about 62. I have lost 25 lbs, BUT- I'm training for a 5k marathon AND I starting watching my diet in July. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!!
