TSH 3.88
Hi My recent blood test result showed my
TSH
is 3.88 and the receptionist said the doctor had left a note saying “tell patient normal” (which is what they always say). My question is…is it normal? I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2001 and have been on thyroxine ever since.

TSH target
I’m not sure if I should push for more levo to try to reduce my
TSH
further. Latest results: 18th Jan - taken at 9am with 24 hours after last levo dose
TSH
1.94 T4 15.7 T3 4.7 My endo didn’t give me the ranges.

Suppressed TSH again!
Should I insist to stay on 100mcg even though my
TSH
is suppressed? 2. If offered, should I trial T3? (I am confused about this as in previous HU responses, it was stated this would also suppress my
TSH
).

High TSH Tip
TSH
volatile over last 12 months 3.8-8.1. (Range 02.7-4.2). Taking the Levothyroxine (150mg) during the night to maximise effect. Doctor questioning how I am taking the dose and very perplexed why the volatility. Feeling jaded at these levels.

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering
TSH
level? I came upon a study that said it can lower
tsh
in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her
tsh
is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms.

normal TSH help.
I am about to go to the doctors in an hour to speak about some blood tests I had done last week. To me the results are on the higher side. From what I’m reading most doctors don’t like to do antibody tests and t3 and t4. How can I persuade them to do these just to check my levels? I had lots of other

T3 and TSH
I have read that if you’re on T3 and T4, your
TSH
should be within the normal range. my T3 was 5.7 (with 6.8 being the top of the range) and my T4 was 21.3 (with 22 being the top of the range). My
TSH
is suppressed.

TSH
still suppressed? Thanks in advance

TSH result
I had a blood test yesterday as I haven’t felt great recently. Unfortunately as it was a cancellation I had taken my 100 thyroxine that morning. The test was done at 11.40. The nurse said it wouldn’t matter. The result today is 0.67.mu/L. I know they will say this is within the norm and won’t do anything

TSH creeping up !
I am on 125mg Levo, but on my last test showed 2.5
TSH
! Should I be worried ? GP also informed me my cholesterol was high.

Exhausted TSH 6.6
And my levels of
TSH

Really low TSH
I had a recent
TSH
check and it’s come back as 0.05. I asked at the reception and was told this result but there was no one to discuss it with. I was called by a nurse the following day. They seemed happy with the results, but I wonder if it’s too low?

TSH blood test
Hello everyone, I've got my
TSH
three month follow up blood test result. I followed all advice and had test done early morning (7.35am) after fasting for 12 hours. My question is,if my result is 1.9 at its highest point. What would my reading be if I measured it mid afternoon after eating?
