From taking courses in Chemistry and Biology I know what most of these abbreviations are. However, I am not sure what normal levels are due to the assumption that doctors and labs might have different ranges. I actually went to the doctor for concerns related to inattentiveness, unmotivated, sleeping problems, anxiety, impulsivity, erratic thinking, and a host of other potential AD/HD issues. The doctor then asked if there was a family history of any thyroid, or blood pressure issues. My mother had hypo-thyroidism, my father and half sister (from his first marriage) has hyper-thyroidism, and my brother (from my father's first marriage) has hypo-thyroidism AND was just diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia and is being treated as we speak. Besides that my mother's side has cancer (primarily lung) and diabetes. Any help, thoughts, etc. will be greatly appreciated.

IF you were fasting, your glucose is a touch high, and something you should work on. If you weren't fasting when your blood was drawn, then it's totally normal.

Your TSH/T4 aren't that out of whack, but I'm convinced that thyroid issues should be treated based on symptoms if you have any indication of a thyroid problem. (Which I would say you probably do, based on your labs, family history, and symptoms.)

I like the folks over at stopthethyroidmadness.com. They're a little dogmatic, but I've been taking Armour Thyroid for the last several months on their recommendation, after getting labs -- TSH 2.7-4.4, Free T4 1.3, Free T3 2.9; all in the "normal" range. It has undoubtedly helped with my motivation/drive and cold extremities, and is possibly responsible for recent progress in blood pressure and weight loss as well.

Here's the numbers from my pathology test yesterday. It looks like your mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) is normal by these numbers.

I wasn't fasting...and fortunately the insurance I have through school allows me to specialists without a referral. So I thought to see an endocronologist about this issue. And I will go check out that site. Thanks.
