Advice before speaking to GP
My
TSH
was 2.5 (range 0.27-4.2) which people here said was too high as I’m on Levothyroxine and should be nearer 1. My Cholesterol was 8.2. I’m on 100 mcg or 125mcg Levothyroxine alternate days.

low T4 and T3 normal TSH
Her most recent results seem odd to me in that both T4 and T3 are very low but her
TSH
is also low - her case has been closed and results filed as normal. Any thoughts or comments?

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
My last
TSH
a few months ago was .03, super low for me. I usually run between 1.5 and 2. But my FT4 was 1.6 (.8 to 1.8 norm. range) and T3 was 134 (76 to 181 norm. range). I had tapered down to 2.5 mg of Prednisone for my PMR last testing.

Can I get some advice on my latest results, please?
Can someone please comment on my
TSH
being too low? The GP practice has marked
TSH
test and T4 test result as abnormal and I am about to have a call with them this week or next week. Supplements that I take: 1. Cytoplan Vitamin D3 and K2 2. Cytoplan Selenium 3.

Help! I'm really Struggling
Some have said this is my thyrpoid and it's underactive, they've found a blood test from Nov 2023 with my
TSH
at 7 and my T4 at 13. They told me to up my levothyroxine to 150mg. This hasn't sat right with me so I paid for a private test and my
TSH
was 5 and t4 18.5.

At a loss and feeling ill
He went on about the
tsh
and t4 levels, and that if they are low then they would look at the t3 levels, otherwise, if the
tsh
and t4 levels are ok then it had nothing to do with the t3.

TSH level increase after total thyroidectomy(8 years ago)
Recently, I had a knee surgery and during a subsequent blood test, my
TSH
level was checked and found to be 4.5. However, I had taken my medication (euthyrox 150mg) on the morning of this blood test. Therefore, the test was repeated and in the new test, the level was seen as 22.

6 weeks on T3
T3 still seems a little low, T4 and
TSH
has gone down. Symtoms are better with lower T4, but im still very sluggish, not much energy or enthusiasm, constipated, hair loss etc. Stomach issues etc. My next appointment with my private endo is next week so not sure what he will suggest.

Recent blood test results
TSH
is too low because I increased NDT too quickly to 2 grains- I have now reduced to 1 1/2 at about 4am each morning.
