how long does it take for t4 to come down after reducing dose?
Over the last couple of weeks or so I have been ever so slightly increasing my dose as my TSH was going over (under active) and having low stomach acid and achey muscles etc. however my t4 was already too high and this has made it go even higher and I have felt really poorly as it has and is affecting

good morning! I have an endocrine appointment on Thursday and want to go in armed with good advice. Latest results from blood test taken on empty stomach, before 9am, 24 hours after levo dose. TSH 1.54 (0.3-5.0) T4 10.1 (7.9-16) I take 75mcg of levothyroxine. I’m thinking that my T4 could

Needing advice/suggestions re tweaking NDT
Hello everyone: Hope you’re all doing as well as can be. So, I’m presently taking 90 Erfa + 25 Synthroid, all at once upon waking. I need to make some changes because I’ve lost half the hair on my head, gained 7 lbs and can’t loose the weight, diet has not changed. Been on NDT for the past 2-3 years

Advice needed on thyroxine management
I am hoping someone can advise me about my thyroxine dose. Here's a little background: In September 2023, I was underweight and having trouble gaining weight and suffering from anxiety. I had been on 75mcg of levothyroxine daily for an underactive thyroid. I had recently developed pins and needles

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why
