thyroid problems

Hi.

I have been sick the last 4 days, Sun. and Mon. I shook, my hands just kept shaking and I just keep sleeping. I was at Dr. B.s office a couple of weeks ago and he ran tests for my thyroid he said I was good. My TSH was .50 my free t3 and free T4 were in range, Well too much thyroid hormone I have been in AF every week, I called Dr. B and he wasn't in today, anyway I stopped the thyroid med Sun. and feel better, although I am in AF, I am very surprised at Dr. B., he knows I have AF. Sometimes you have to go by a persons symptoms and not what the book said. I also am sorta sick to my stomach, I don't have much of an appetite.

What was your Free T4? (The acceptable range is way too high for afib patients). I can not let mine get over 1.20. I also keep my TSH around .50.

I also take Cytomel (T3) and keep my Free T3 around 3.0.

TSH .54
T4, free 1.2
T3 free 2,4
T3 Reverse 21

My free T3 has always bee a little low, but I won't take Cytomel, I remember taking cytomel a long time ago, I felt good for a while then I started getting very shaky and nervous, so that ended that. it may not be my thyroid I don't know what happened, I don't know if something has been going around. I woke up this morning with my shirt drenched in sweat, I am feeling a little better and stronger today, don't know what is going on.

I only take a 5 mcg Cytomel split. Take 2.5 at 5 am and 2.5 at 2 pm. If I take any more I also get nervous. I could NEVER take the full 5 mcg once a day. It reaches its peak at 4 hours and after 8 hours is pretty much done.
