T4 test too high!

May I ask for some thoughts & advice please. My latest thyroid Function blood results show TSH 0.01 & the T4 level as 30. I don't have the T3 results.

Recent Free T4 test result

My latest result has a reading of 12.1 pmol/L. In Jan of this year it was 15.6. I'm anticipating being told that I don't need to increase my dose of 50mg tablets whereas I feel I'm flagging again. Any advice? Thank you.

antibodies test

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the difference between a thyroid antibody test and the normal TSH and T4 test was? My endocrinologist has refused to do an antibody test. My thyroid function fluctuates a lot especially I believe when I’m under stress.

Blood test results. Endo wants to reduce t4

Do you think I'd be better to reduce t4 and ask for increase of t3 to 20 or just try and stand my ground and ask for increase in t3 and stay on 100 t4? Test was 6 hours after t3 (I slept in and missed getting up to take t3) t4 was about 25 hours before. Thanks in advance.

TSH T3 and T4 NHS Test results via GP

I've just seen the test results online and note differences from the test via Medichecks on March 9th (see previous post) Test done just after 8am - fasting with only water - thyroxin over 24 hours before. TSH is higher at 1.73 - on March 9th it was 0.69 - so quite a bit worse (same range for both

Testing TSH only?!

Good evening, When I usually get a blood test it is T3, T4 & TSH. My recent blood test on Monday it was only TSH tested- Why is this? What is the point? Why has it changed? Any ideas? Thanks

How do you know if you still need T4 once T3 is added?

Another post mentioned kidney pain whilst over medicated with T4 which I have, so was thinking I'll start to lower the T4... Last test result 17.5 (12-22) 21.11.22 having been using T3 for 4 months had been at 21.7 (12-22) before starting T3, I've not changed the dose.

can anyone recommend lovely thyroid specialist bucks/hearts/London area/zoom

Had iron infusion, vit d and b vit injections (that I paid for) and want a retest but gp will not test for anything other than TSH as he says t4 is nonsense and he won’t test for the other things that were not tested - antibody’s, selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc vit a etc where can I get these tests

Deiodinase 2 enzyme test

Ive had my first appointment with nhs endo, she said to build a case for nhs to provide me with t3 medication, I would need to self fund a deiodinase 2 enzyme test, in order to prove I dont convert t4 to t3. My question is, which test is recommended as its quite expensive.

I forgot and took my medication(75 ml zoloft) prior to my t3, t4 test. Could this alter my t3, t4 levels?

I took the test in the morning, didn’t eat but accidentally took my other medication realizing it after I took the test.

Getting private prescriptions on NHS

Seeing GP soon to try and push for a diagnosis (rising TSH over time, low T4, now private test showing high antibodies), but I'm also booked into a private thyroid clinic next month.
