TSH dropping, but FT4 stuck
I started levothyroxine on 10th August on 25mcg, then went up to 50mcg in September, then 75mcg Nov and I'm now alternating 75/100mcg every day. My TSH has dropped considerably, however my FT4 has got stuck at the very bottom end of normal and doesn't seem to be rising despite me increasing the dose

Any weight loss tips have hypothyroidism
I eventually got diagnosed with hypothryoidism last year after struggling for 10years and am overweight. I exercise about 3-4 times a week currently (swimming, yoga, body combat, walking) and work a full time (vet nurse so on my feet and mobile all day). I take 50mcg levythroxine once a day normally

Can anyone explain why my TSH is so low?
Hi all hope everyone is well. I am looking for an explanation as to why my TSH is so low. Recently, i was admitted to ACCU ward with very symptomatic afib which lasted for 26 hours. Was eventually sent home and section in discharge letter states: "Low TSH-0.19 - poor compliance with levothyroxzine

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

Afternoon all
I am now off Carbimazole and my TSH is lowering steadily. My FT4 and FT3 are fluctuating though and wondered if there is anything i can ascertain from that or is it quite normal. I have adopted a gluten and dairy free diet in the last 4 months and feel like the brain fog has lifted. Last 3 results were

why would TSH be high
hi everyone why would TSH be high if t4 is ok, T3 is very low though. But I questioned did she take her Levo before hand or if possible lab contamination. Her t3 so definitely low. Thank you

I have exhaustion and results a bit like someone else but my GP says my thyroid is normal. I saw your post a few weeks ago. I don't want to feel worse.TSH 6.22 (0.27 - 4.2) and I am also worried that I can never stop. FT4 14.5 (12 - 22) FT3 4.7 (3.1 - 6.8) What shall I do?

Appointment on tuesday
Having been on the waiting list to see an endocrinologist, I have now got an appointment on Tuesday (cancellation). In my previous posts I asked about my results as I thought there was a possibility I might have secondary hypothyroidism as both tsh and free T4 are at the lower end of normal. I had private

TSH Levels and Levothyroxin
Hello 😊 I’m hoping someone could help with TSH levels and Levothyroxin. A few years ago when I seen a fertility consultant she said my thyroid levels weren’t where they’d like them to be for fertility. I think about 3.7 mu/l and they wanted it below 2.5. I was prescribed Levothyroxin. I then conceived

Urgent help please - feeling total despair - think I'm going crazy after stopping and restarting levothyroxine - blood results included
Hi, This won't be the full story as I don't want to to make the post too long and hard/annoying to read. It's already going to be too long. RAI for Graves around 11 years ago. Never felt good on T4 since. Normal dose around 100 micrograms plus around 12.5 micrograms a couple of times a week. Mostly stopped
