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?

Advise for next appointment please. New to Forum, Really Struggling with GP.
So I did them again in September 2022
Sept 2022: [
8.76 and FT4 13.4 and FT3 9 - TPOab 115 and TgAB 350] Eventually GP saw me in February 2023, but still wouldn't provide medication saying
TSH
needed to be over 10
Feb 2023 (at GP) [
4.33 and FT4 11.4 but serum cortisol low] [

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?

low tsh but still hypothyroid
hi I keep getting bloods every 6-8 weeks from my doctor as my
tsh
level is constantly below 0.01…. I am on 75mcg of levo one night and then 100mcg of levo the next as told by my doctor. But I’m still having all the symptoms still of being underactive.

interpreting results
I’m fine interpreting the results of the vitamins and minerals, and I also understand that the higher the
TSH
the more underactive you are, and the lower the number, the more overactive you are, ideally
TSH
needs to be between 1 and 2…..

How stable should TSH be?
How widely should
TSH
vary in someone who has been taking the same dose (100 ug) of Levothyroxine for over a decade? I'm always in the normal range, so should I be happy with that? Could my recent downtrend in
TSH
cause heart palpitations?

Results- antibody
While my
tsh
and t4 are within range (t3 borderline low) as I am for 7 months now on Levotyroxine that appears to work.The anti-tg antibodies are now high (at 570 IU/ml) and it is first time that they were tested.

Medichecks results
Tsh
: 4.12 (0.27-4.2) T4: 19.8 (12-22) T3: 4.8 (3.2-6.8) I guess that's saying my t4 is ok but my t3 is low? The notes that came with it say that if I am still symptomatic there is room to adjust my meds.
