Can a Levo dose be split Am and Pm, and can NDT be taken Am and a Levo dose added PM?
As you can see I am all over the place trying to find my way out, and to satisfy the NHS ear bashing I had of having a suppressed
TSH
, which will further suppress if I increase NDT to feel better.

TSH blood test results
I have checked my results and my
TSH
was 2.3. Unfortunately I can't compare previous years as they are no longer on my online health records due to a system overhaul!!

Newbie to this community and wondering about B12 deficiency
Hello, for the past 4 years I've had symptoms of CFS, plus low FT4 and on occasions, low
TSH
. I've also had my cortisol tested by saliva and short synacthen test, both showed low levels but the adrenals work when stimulated so it's not Addisons.

My serum
tsh
level was 4.9 outside ref range and the serum free t4 level was 14.2 within range. Still GP did not treat. My serum thyroid peroxidase level has never been retested.

Heart Failure and skewed TSH results
Consultant knew nothing of Thyroid disease or Pernicious Anaemia which I also have so didn't want to comment about my way off balance
TSH
result. Fair enough at least he was honest.

need reassurance
My
tsh
went up to 15.
Tsh
lab tab range (.5-4) in states. I am beginning third week and should be used to side effects when increasing due to sensitivity. This week always seems to be the hardest of the up and downs. Just need reassurance that increase was necessary and this will pass

Update on “Must my NHS GP prescribe Levothyroxine?”
She did give the surgery’s usual position which would be to reduce T4 because of low
TSH
. She also said my case was “out of the ordinary” because I take both T4 and T3. She re-read my consultant’s last letter to her in which he outright says he’s okay with my
TSH
being under range.
