ABNORMAL TSH BLOOD RESULT
I had a blood test on 5 April and the
TSH
result was 7.10 and the T4 result 13.6. I queried it with my GP who said there is nothing to worry about and that it is the T4 reading which matters. I am to have a retest in July. Am I worrying unnecessarily ? Thank you.

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.

I really don’t understand the messages on here eg taking T3 or 4 or
TSH
results etc etc when I have asked before medics have looked at me as though I’m stupid for not knowing what’s what.

hypothyroidism stomach problems
My results are
Tsh
2.61 Free T3 3.8 Free T4 14.7 I don’t have ranges Full blood count, cortisol etc all good. I’m getting desperate, so miserable, even Gastro said he hasn’t a clue 😔 Is this typical of hypothyroidism and how I will always be?

Optimal vitamin levels?
I am also wondering about doing my own blood tests in order to get more than just
TSH
and plan to do one 6 weeks after increasing the levo dose.
