New results after being discharged by endocrinologist.
Hi I will add my previous post but I will also give a quick recap: I first came on with low T4 levels but
TSH
in range. The doctors did regular tests saying it wasn't being tested properly. I eventually got referred to an endocrinologist.

Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
My
TSH
is down but should that be lower still? I do feel so much better but I understand if you are correctly medicated on levo you should be nearer 1-2
TSH
?
I have a further GP apt this week to discuss next steps but they are seemingly being led by me. Should I ask for another levo increase?

I really need some help and advice please.
I have tried having a higher
tsh
, a lower
tsh
, alternating, you name it I’ve tried it. I feel like the last thing I could try is taking some kind of nicotine replacement. I was fine when I was smoking.

confusing results
My
TSH
has always been abnormally low (.09) while all other tests in the low normal range. I am also, asymptomatic when it comes to any issues relating to too much meds and have never had any other illnesses. I feel good and have lived like this for. 50 years. Can Anyone explain this?

stopping vitamins before tests
hi everyone, I can’t remember if I have to stop my vitamin b12 and D before doing my medichecks test - the one that tests for t3, t4,
tsh
, folate, b12, D, ferritin and inflammation. I’m taking the vitamins in spray form now so no biotin - is there any other reason I have to stop before testing?

Effect of increased levo dose
Rather unexpectedly, as not supposed to be until 3 months after having my levo upped from 75 to 100mcg, my
TSH
and T4 were tested after just 5 weeks.
TSH
0.16 (0.27 to 4.2), T4 21.7 (12 to 22).

Successful follow up to previous post regarding bending the truth to obtain correct prescription level
However the Dr pointed out that my
TSH
was v low and she expected I would need a reduction in 8 weeks when she wanted to retest
TSH
. No - I refused to go backwards and knew my
TSH
would be low - it always is.

Hello, recent results : Serum
tsh
level 1.1 my/L (0.35-4.9) GP says normal. I am in horrendous pain in upper back and neck. This has been on and off for years. Seems to have started with a stressful event at work and lasted for weeks. GP will possibly refer me to pain clinic again.

Hashimotos and hair loss
I am taking Tirosint 750 mcg per week at the moment (increased recently from 700 mcg per week due to
TSH
of 4.56 mUI/l (range 0.30 – 4.30). My main concern, and the reason why I am writing, is hair loss. It is driving me crazy.

Endo changed meds - T3 only to T4/T3
This is no doubt due to my very low
TSH
. Is 50/20 anywhere near a 40mcg dose of T3?
