TSH
0-8 So they rechecked in july 22 and said again it was slightly low T4 = 11.4 and
TSH
2.71 said they wanted to have a think and decide whether to put me on thyroid medication

Do I need Levothyroxine?
My
TSH
is 6.8 Free Thyroxine 11.8 Free T3 4.9 Thyroglobulin AB’s 311 A ‘virtual’ doctor prescribed me 25 Levothyroxine but one stopped taking it as didn’t feel any different and didn’t want to be chewing tablets if I didn’t need them. My question is - Do I need to be taking medication?

Some evidence to take to Gp needed please.
Her
Tsh
that her gp likes to dose by has been in range constantly and the last 2 blood tests showed she was undermedicated. This last one the
Tsh
was 5 and the level should be below 3.98. Her Gp has said he'll test again in 6 weeks.

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.

Blood tests, T3 and talking to GP
I’m assuming my
TSH
will be very low. Additionally I’ve just tested positive for Covid so imagine this may impact any tests next week. Thanks for any replies!

Latest Thyroid Results
Any advice on my
tsh
rising and if it would continue to rise without thyroid hormone be welcome as it was always low and I’m wondering if this pattern is indicative of a progressing pituitary problem. Many thanks.

Update confused and getting worse
My results were: T3 2.97 T4 23.7
TSH
2.49 He said that he will write to my GP telling him to prescribe T3 for me. The consultant said it would take a while to get me right and I may need my other thyroid and epilepsy medication reduced depending on outcomes.

Help with whether leg pain is side effect of brand of levo prescribed
Hi Everyone I had a parathyroidectomy in January 2023 which resulted in me being hypothyroid (
TSH
22.) I was put on 50mg levo which following quarterly blood tests was increased to 75mg in May and 100 mg in November. My blood test last week finally saw my
TSH
in normal range.

Will they only check
TSH
? Will a blue horizon gold test tell me everything I need to know? My last test was in 2022 and I think I may have posted on here and was told it all looked fine. Thanks Matty

Insulin resistant & query about blood results
I had to nag doctor to increase my dose from 125 to 150mg and now fear although I am starting to feel better in myself that they will reduce dose down again when I see them my blood sugars are also out of range - a clinical trial I took part in suggested I have insulin resistance (or some such)

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.

Undiagnosed and confused
My latest blood tests show:
TSH
: 7.07 munit/L T4: 14.1 pmol/L T3: 5.0 pmol/L
TSH
receptor antibodies: 3.98 unit/ I have been told by different doctors that this could be subacute thyroiditis, could be Hashimoto's or was even told that the blood results could be an error!
