My doc put me on synthroid after seeing that my TSH was high before looking at free T3/T4. He plans on testing free T3/T4 along with thyroid antibodies and reverse T3 in one month. I will have been on synthroid .75 mg for 2 months by the time the other tests will be done. I am wondering how accurate the tests will be. I think he should have tested for T3/T4 before putting me on synthroid.
Does a high TSH usually mean low T3/T4?
Did my doc jump the gun by putting me on synthroid before running other labs?
Also, I am waiting on the results from a 24 hour saliva test for adrenal function. Will probably get those results when I go for bloodwork in 1 month. If adrenals are weak, could that be the reason my TSH was so high?
