Why TSH alone should not be used again - another bit of science
Outcome measures cannot therefore rely on the assumption of response equivalence, which would require a consistent translation of the signalling chain from
TSH
to
TSH
receptor, FT4 and finally onto FT3.

how long for levels to adjust before blood test - Ndt user
I’m Hashimoto so my
tsh
is always slightly supressed irrespective of what happens to my thyroxine and consultant put me on lower thyroxine but supplemented with Ndt which marginally improved
tsh
and massively improved t3 levels so will continue work Ndt as long as I can get it but worry gp will change

TSH conundrum
Dr has never tested anything apart from
TSH
and occasionally FreeT4 and based my medication on these results. Fortunately I have been ok health wise and happily carried on with prescribed meds. For years my
TSH
has been just under 1 but last year went up to 3.69.

Advice again please
My
TSH
has risen to 2.2 from 0.79 only 5 weeks again (they do not test T3 or T4 in A & E unless abnormal
TSH
. Other tests were normal like liver, kidney and ESR which were tested due to recent infection.

West Sussex/Hampshire/Surrey borders endo recommendation please
My
TSH
is in the lowish/normal range and of course T4 and T3 never tested now . I understand Hypothyroidism can cause high HDL but doc says
TSH
levels normal so can't be... I think I need to invest as felt so dreadful on the statins. Any recommendations would be great.

Low t3 with high t4, graves.
How can t3 be low while
tsh
drops and t4 climbs? I'd estimate I'm about 4-6 months away from being out of range again, looking at my numbers. Why is my t3 struggling along? Or is my remaining thyroid just totally messed up now?

tsh
224 and FT4 6 (9-19), so I went back on 200mcg right away.

Medichecks results.
Tsh
0.663 0.27- 42 Free t3 3.9 3.1 - 6.8 Free t4 11.8 12- 22 I took the test because I feel really tired and also because the tests my gp does will now only test
tsh
. Mine was low last time and so they reduced my Thyroxine to 50mg.

Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s and pregnancy
Earlier this year my
TSH
went above 5 so my GP put me on 25 mg levothyroxine which helped to reduce my
TSH
below 5 again.

Thyroglobulin antibodies test
I tested for thyroid markers recently.I was already diagnosed last summer with hypothyroidism and am medicated with Levothyroxine, so the values of
TSH
T4 are now in the control range with T3 low borderline.

TSH is 5.2 for FET cycle any help? Or advice?
hi all I'm on a lot of estrogen 5 x a day vaginally and orally and my
tsh
is elevated. I have repeated this but not holding out hope. My transfer is due to be on Friday so looks like it may be cancelled. Any advice or one who has experienced this? What did the clinic do?

T4 not routinely tested
Hi, I am arranging post-hemithyroidectomy blood tests with the GP, and have been told that the lab will only test T4 if
TSH
reading indicates that it is necessary; wanted to check whether this means that they might miss something. I already know that I have Hashimotos. Thanks for any insight.
