Questions about TSH and advice on results over the past year much appreciated
How important is
TSH
in terms of symptoms etc? I know it is a 'signal' and not a hormone as such...? If my t3 & t4 are in range, could my
TSH
eventually rebalance? would the
TSH
alone cause symptoms? Also, is there a lag between symptoms and blood tests?

Decision about T3 and T4 dosing
My results are: August 2023 - 2 x 5 mcg T3 plus 50/25mcg alternating T4
TSH
0.19 (0.35-4.94) T4 10 (9-19.1) T3 3.7 (2.4-6) November 2023 2 x 5mcg T3 plus 50mcg T4
TSH
0.05 (0.35-4.94) T4 10.7 (9-19.1) T3 4.5 (2.4-6) Because the
TSH
has dropped below 0.1 my Endo wanted me to halve T3 dose to

I’m Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering When our vitamin levels are at a good level , does that in turn make our thyroid levels mainly our

explain doctor's note please
However If you think that patient benefits from thyroxine replacement due to low normal FT4 9, then you can give her levothyroxine 25mcg once a day and check her TFTS in 4 to 6weeks to maintain
TSH
of around 2, if
TSH
is suppressed then stop thyroxine replacement."

newly diagnosed help with results
They wouldn’t prescribe anything higher as my
tsh
was suppressed < 0.001 I’ve just had my results back from my test this week and I’m not sure how to interpret and feel like they’re gonna try and take me off the levothyroxine.

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower
TSH
- but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted.

No thyroid gland so where does TSH fit?
So, my
TSH
is suppressed at 0.02 (used to be 0.01). If I have no thyroid gland to stimulate, what is the big issue with my suppressed
TSH
? I would just like to be able to understand. Thank you in advance, clever people.

Impending GP appointment advice
Bizarrely on my last blood test only my
TSH
was tested, not sure if this was an oversight from the lab, request from GP on the form or what?

Iron levels and huge TSH drop
And secondly I have a question regarding
TSH
levels. I've only just started on levothyroxine again after trying to go without it for 2 years. Just before I restarted it, my
TSH
was measured as high as 41.
