TSH remains suppressed
So, been taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Liothyronine for years, but recently lost some weight, and started randomly throwing up. Blood tests at Dr showed,T4 19.9 (11-23) TSH <0.01 (0.27-4.5) So wanting to feel better, I reduced the t3 to 6.25mcg, and levo to 100mcg Nurse practitioner agreed to check

Going back to the gp.. one year on
So one year after my first blood test I’m going to go back to my gp to ask for a ‘second’ (more like 10th) opinion, I’m under medicated 25mcg levothyroxine, still symptomatic and fed up! I’m going back to the gp, basically demanding a dose increase and citing the research to support it. (My latest results

Blood results help
Hi I have had blood test tsh is one (range 0.4 to 5) and T4 is 14 ( range is 9 to 19). Also had an ultrasound which showed altered echotexture but no enlargement of thyroid. Are these results OK? Have symptoms of underactive thyroid but results all in range. Thanks
