Do you have any hard numbers you can post up?

What does your current diet look like? I ask this for a reason.

The body temp is an indicator but some numbers would be beneficial that Re related to tsh,t3,t4 etc

Has your doc had u tested for the tpo antibodies?

**testytim** · 04-16-2012, 08:18 PM

no what is that... FYI today my temp all day was low 96.0 to 96.5 just check it it back to 98.6 crazy

Bro check out stopthethyroidmadness.om. Not sure what the rules are regarding links so i wont post the entire link. google that and check into their page. Loads of beneficial information. Your numbers look good to me, but I'm still a baby here and wouldn't want to mislead u. You are in range but the only way to know for sure is the thyroid peroxidase (tpo) test in addition to your t3 and t4 tests.

thanks viking13 for your input i did find web site. man i sure fit the bill without the numbers it does fit my symptoms to a tee.

No prob bro. I hope you are good and dont have hypo. I'd talk to the doc about a tpo test and go from there. Good luck bro!!!

are u thinking you have thyroid issues due to home thermometer readings? some of those are ridiculously miscalibrated...
but yes...definitely keep an eye...did you feel better overnight/now?

**testytim** · 04-17-2012, 03:22 PM

yes ....Ive tried 3 different thermometers just to make sure.... just today i did my workout it is a brisk 3 mi walk and about 45 min weight lifting... worked up a good sweat.. did a cool down.. took temp was 96.0..its crazy.. i can check it 2 hrs from now it could be 98.6 for the rest of the day. you just dont know . im really thinking that this is really whats wrong with me not low t..

Your thyroid panels look fine with what you provided.

Elevated on the 2nd pull but remember these are snap shots in time and any number of things could have caused some stress on your Thyroid...but the numbers even on the 2nd panel are not that bad.
