Seeing endo unexpectedly and have private blood test on the way!!!
I noticed in replies to others that
TSH
is low if you take T3 but as they're blaming low
TSH
for my osteopenia would this not still be the case? I don't know how to counteract their statements. Feeling anxious already as I find appointments difficult 🥴

Feel worse on 100mcg Levothyroxine. I felt better on 75mcg. I’m not over medicated. Is this thyroid gland suppression?
On 125-150mcg my
TSH
will definitely be suppressed. Just hoping I can get back to the gym regularly. Been out for a few runs with the dog this week nearly killed me!! 🤣.

HELP before speaking to GP tomorrow!
I assumed that I was going to have my
TSH
and T4 tested but that wasn’t the case on this occasion.

Sertraline and contraindication
Background - I was recently started on levothyroxine after many years of not feeling well after having a private health screening through work which flagged up a higher than normal
tsh
and a low t4 reading.

has anyone felt not great on T3?
I’m on a T3 trial and haven’t felt like myself on it since I started, my
TSH
is too low for my Endo, who will want to reduce my meds next week. Has anyone gone down from 10mg to 5 mg and felt better?

Am I now hyperthyroid? Still struggling to loose weight
TSH
0.09m/uL (only one they checked) Is this now too low? I'm still really struggling to lose weight. Sleeping much better but still having hot flushes. I'm currently trying to reduce my food intake - trialling not eating after 8pm (I like late night snacks) and nothing before 10am.

Confusing results and Nodule
Your
TSH
receptor antibodies are >1 and this is negative. Your thyroid function tests show a
TSH
of 4.73 with a Free T4 of 8.8 and a Free T3 of 5.1. This suggests a new picture of subclinical hypothyroidism which is exactly the opposite of what it had been before.

Is there any scientific evidence showing that TSH is often suppressed when taking T3?
Patients taking T3 know that their
TSH
is very often suppressed. Some doctors seem to accept this is ok, if T4 and T3 are not too high/over range. But - does anyone know of any studies showing this does happen? It would be great to have something to quote back to doctors who don't accept it.

Opinions on blood results
My blood test in October showed
TSH
just under 1. Tests a couple of weeks ago 4.71. The whole reason I went for another test and appt was because I know my level isn’t right. All my symptoms are back. Basically the GP has refused any increase because I’m in range.

Just hate my doctors
So asked my doctor for my thyroid to be rechecked which I feel is reasonable and he said sure but only
TSH
but I said T3 and T4 are needed. (I’ve had my vitamins recently for other reasons).

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
My doc believes that as long as my
TSH
is fine, I do not need an increase but Free T4 is at its lowest range and this concerns me. Perhaps if I raise my dose, Free T4 and Free T3 will become better. If this is right how much increase per mg do I need?
