Current Status

I am currently:

• 21 years old
• 5'2" (approx. 1.6 meters)
• 134 pounds (60.7 kgs or 9.5 stones)

TSH: 3.421 within a range o 0.350-4.500
**A note about my TSH: It was better when I was on Synthroid for approximately one month. (I think it was 1.0 something) Now it's gone back up!
Free T4: 1.17 within a range of 0.89-1.80
Free T3: 3.3 within a range of 2.3-4.2
Glucose: 94 within a range of 70-99
**I was put on a glucose supplement to try to correct this along with my diet plan.
DHEA Sulfate (Adrenal Gland Function) 332 within a range of 65-380 for my age group.
**This is fairly high for my age group. The doctor said it was because my adrenals are working overload due to my apparent weight, though I'd say I'm not large at 134 pounds.
Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies: 533.8 out of range of 0.0-60.0
**This according to my doctor means that I possibly have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It could also be because of my goiter.

I am currently taking Armour Thyroid 15 mg, switched from Synthroid 25 mcg. I am due for a TSH test again in approximately 2.5 months.

I am still having the symptoms of fatigue, fuzzy thoughts, lack of concentration, slight depression, inability to lose weight, trouble getting to sleep.

I was put on a great multivitamin that seems to be doing its job well. A week after taking it I noticed a slight, but definitely obvious improvement in how I felt.

The doctor also put me on Quercetin, some enzymes because I have major food allergies (most people with hypothyroidism have allergies to at least *something*), a wonderful probiotic and the glucose control. He also put me on sublingual melatonin to help me sleep, however after researching on hypothyroidism and supplements, foods and minerals that might inhibit your thyroid's production, I found that melatonin has been shown to do such. I was at a minimal dose (1 mg) for a short period of less than a month however, before I stopped taking it.

In 3 months, I will repost my test results and in between them write up articles I've found regarding thyroid.
