Having an op and NHS freaking out about suppressed TSH
I am having a very minor op under general anaesthetic and NHS have revealed suppressed
TSH
(0.024). They are basically refusing to operate until I get a Dr to say this is ok in the presence of normal T3 (5.2) and T4 (14.8).

Please help me figure out what’s going on
She wanted me to keep getting checked every year until my
TSH
was over 10, and then she would prescribe levothyroxine. I explained that I want to get pregnant soon, and that I had read
TSH
should be below 2.5 for a healthy pregnancy.

My Endo Consultation Disaster…. No T3 for me.
My heart sank when he told me T3 levels weren’t important and it was all about the
TSH
figure, which in my case was too low in his opinion at 0.311 (range 0.27 - 4.20), and when the
TSH
is below 1 it is bad for heart health long term.

Trial of eConsult service
I know exactly how the review will go - your
TSH
is too low (it has been around 0.02 for 6 years), and your cholesterol is nearly out of range. Here, have some statins and we will drop your Levo dose. Sigh. This is a GP new to the practice and she has obviously not read my file.

Bloods advice pls -starting T3 combo
I found this easier when T 4 was around 19, before thyroxine reduced to improve
tsh
, endo wouldn't consider t3 whilst out of range. Sorry for the long post, hope it all makes senses. Thank you for all tips/advice/insights and replies I do really appreciate it. ❤️

Any weight loss tips have hypothyroidism
Recent blood results
TSH
2.62mU/L (ref range 0.27-4.2). I've previously had high thyroid peroxidise antibiodies. Only one doc would check :( I am still symptomatic - hot flushes, cold episodes, occasional depression/mood swings, no energy, tired, not sleeping great and struggling to lose weight.

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed
TSH
. Only saw her because she’s meant to be good with HRT, but she’s gone mad about my
TSH
. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, I’d like to increase my levo!
