Question 1

Will vitamin d deficiency cause hypothyroidism? my tsh is 18.8 ,t3 and t4 are normal. if tsh become normal can i stop thyronorm tablet?

Accepted Answer

and the tsh shows the pituitary gland is trying very hard to keep homone levels up to normal (why the TSH is so high). Most likely thyroid medicaiton is working to maintain the thyroid hormones. Lowering the thyroid hormone and the TSH would go sky high.

Question 2

Unilateral numbness (left side) in back area of t3 and t4 and partial numbness in l1 also left side for a year now. no pain no burning. no diabetes. some degree of urinary retention. severe deficiency of vit d. pain in body joints like hip and knee?

Accepted Answer

Vit D deficiency may be associated with a general increase in pain perception, but you described a very isolated pain syndrome which requires investigation. Call your FP, PMR, Neurologist for an exam to determine where the problem stems and get non invasive testing (EMG, NCS, MRI) for an accurate diagnosis. Good luck

Question 3

Is it possible to still have iodine defeciency even if your thyroid t3, t4, & tsh are all in good levels?  if so, how do you test for it?

Accepted Answer

A "TOTAL IODINE" is a common study often done in cases of suspected Iodine deficient thyroid problems..early deficiency
does not effect thryoid function. Iodine deficiency is quite RARE since use of Iodine supplements in Table Salt!

Question 4

What are the symptoms of low t3 (liothyronine) levels?

Accepted Answer

T3 (liothyronine) & T4 are the active thyroid hormones.   But low T3 (liothyronine) by itself may be normal, unless either T4 is low or TSH is elevated, then total thyroid production is likely low.   See your doctor for full evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

Can you get hypothyroid symptoms from low levels of t3 (liothyronine) only? would this be treated?

Accepted Answer

The T3 (liothyronine) test is not as reliable as the free T4 test and it is not rare to see patients with somewhat low or high T3 (liothyronine) levels whose thyroid is working properly.  If your total or free T4 and your TSH are normal I would not be concerned about your T3 (liothyronine). We mainly treat when TSH is elevated.

Question 6

I have secondary hyperparthyroidism. could this be grave's undetected if my t3 (liothyronine) levels are off. i have php 1b too. i have symptoms of grave's.

Accepted Answer

Hi. Hyperparathyroidism (primary or secondary) or the hyperparathyroidism of PHP 1b is completely unrelated to hyperthyroidism. Psuedohypoparathyroidism type 1b is rare. I assume your diagnosis has been confirmed by a competent endocrinologist. Graves' is very easy to test for. Bear in mind, not one symptom associated with Graves' is specific for Graves'! Good luck!

Question 7

I'm converting t4 into t3 (liothyronine) well and although i've lots of t3 (liothyronine) it is not getting into my cells.i still have lots of symptoms.im on 200mcg levo.need help.

Accepted Answer

T4 and T3 (liothyronine) are standard items and I don't understand your statement that "T3 (liothyronine) is not getting into your cells".
200 mcg of Levothyroxine is quite a dose for a 23 year old, and it is only prescribed if your thyroid glands have been removed or are not working.
I would very much appreciate getting more information from you and/or your doctor.

Question 8

I've been on levothyroxine for three weeks and almost feel like my symptoms are worse.  both my t4 and my t3 (liothyronine) are low, the most bothersome symptoms ach?

Accepted Answer

Usually, most cases of hypothyroidism are treated with increasing doses of l-thyroxin until all levels of T3 (liothyronine). T4 and TSH are normalized. This is determined by routine blood testing including checking for anti- thyroid antibodies to rule out autoimmune ( Hashimoto's) thyroiditis.

Question 9

Have so many symptoms of  hyperthyroidism but my tsh and t3 (liothyronine) t4 test s came back normal is these test results really reliable ?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are many and not solely due to a thyroid problem. See your family physician to investigate other reasons for your complaints like a heart problem, anxiety and more.

Question 10

Hypothyroidism-?levels 1.06tsh, t3 is 2.3. 1.better to treat symptoms or numbers for hypothyroidism ?2. synthroid (thyroxine) or levothryxine  brand better?

Accepted Answer

Levothyroxine&#40;LT4&#41;=generic name for thyroid hormone. There are sev brands with Synthroid being best known &#40;Levoxyl, Unithroid...&#41;Each dose has about the same amount of LT4, but the FDA allows some variability. They also use diff fillers, which changes absorption. Tiny dose changes make a big diff in some people & diff brands can be like a diff dose in some. If poss take the same brand each refill!
