Add a bit of liothyronine or just increase levothyroxine?
My results on only 100 levothyroxine is
tsh
0.25(0.42-4.2) ft3 4.2 (3.6-6.5) ft4 16 (12-22) I have access to liothyronine so would be able to start low dose on that to add to my levothyroxine. Would you recommend starting liothyronine or just increasing levothyroxine?

Doubling Dose of Thyroxine?
My
TSH
level is 3.28 and whilst it might be in range, I understand it should be more around 1.

Confused. Do I really need Levo?
I have had sub-clinical hypothyroidism (diagnosed by
TSH
level only 😕) for approx 20 years. I was made aware of this and prescribed Levothyroxine only a couple of years ago when my
TSH
reached 10 (apparently full-blown hypothyroidism).

advice please
I have increased my dose to 100 today based on the symptoms and it feels the same as it did last year when my
TSH
went over then. My question is how long do you think it takes once you increase your dose to help address the acid/ achey muscles and bring my
TSH
back down?

is suppressed.
TSH

Can being overmedicated cause atrial fibrillation?
Can being overmedicated for long period and really low
TSH
potentially lead to heart problems in the future? Many Thanks.

Hello from New Zealand
Also my GP is only testing for
TSH
which appears normal now. Could my strange BP behaviour be related to my thyroid function? And what should I be asking my GP? Thanks so much, I would really appreciate any thoughts

Need help with test results
FT3 2.740 (2.3-4.2) FT4 1.180 (0.7-1.53)
TSH
<0.015 (0.300-4.000) These results are "normal" according to the ranges and my doctor will just agree with that. The
TSH
level stops him from looking at anything else. He thinks my hairloss is due to age and menopause.
