So I just received my mothers Thyroid Panel and I am not entirely sure what to make of it.
TSH: 9.320
T4 Free: 0.78
Thyroxine Total T4: 5.9
T3 Free 2.71
T3 Reverse 12.9
T3 Update 32.0
T7 1.9
A little background, she is in her late 50s and has been on NDT in the form of Nature Throid for a few years and is currently on a dose of 2 grains. She has Parkinson's disease has under gone stem cell therapy, and takes a number of other supplements. 10,000iu Vitamin D, 4000 iu Curcumin, CoQ10, resveratrol, Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid ( I have recommended she stop some of these)
While on NDT she has lost a significant amount of weight but has an increased amount of belly fat. I think that the NDT has been doing more harm than good because her basic diet has not increased to meet the nutritional needs of a faster metabolism. She has a constant cough (which may be due to serotonin from the Parkinsons).
I do not know much about Thyroid Panels but I know that there are studies that show anything about 2 is unhealthy so a TSH of 9.320 sounds very high. Seems to me that for someone taking 2 grains of NDT the TSH should be lower and the free t3 and t4 should be higher.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
