Could increasing Levothyroxine push me into hyperthyroidism
Hello, my TSH level is 2.35, up from 1.49 two years ago. I asked my GP for an increase in Levothyroxine as I felt better when my TSH level was lower. He said I was in the range and if he increased the medication from 100 to 125 he risked pushing me into hyper. Is this correct? I assumed the blood test

Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

Did I mess up my blood tests?
Yesterday I went to have blood tests after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism a month ago. I took 25mcg of levythyroxine (?) before having the test but have now read on here that I shouldn't have done this? My TSH levels were 9.5 last month but are now back to normal but maybe this is why? I am in

Sussex hospitals no longer giving fT4 result on thyroid function tests
Hello, Writing this post in case it helps prepare others rather than for advice (but feel free to advise if you wish!). I had a blood test last Friday not because of hypothyroidism but the test included "thyroid function". My results came back with just TSH being reported, no fT4 as I have been used
