TSH Reducing
Doc rang with recent blood test results, which included
TSH
, said to be on the low side of normal at 0.29. My
TSH
reading has therefore steadily reduced over the past 12 months.

Blood results within range. Is this a problem?
Cortisol levels change throughout the day - as does
TSH
. It's not just about being in-range, it's about being in the right place within the range. All your results are in their ranges, but that does not make them normal for you. "

Discrimination against central/secondary hypothyroidism
This was because my blood test results indicate that my
TSH
does not rise as my T4 falls and I have hyperthyroid symptoms plus ultrasound scan showing thyroiditis. Apparently, the endocrinologist will only prescribe for primary hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism
I took this information back to my GP who dismissed the test results, said they would need to do another
TSH
as T3 and T4 not an accurate indication for hypothyroidism! I’m exhausted going back and forth! Any advice?

My
TSH
is always surpressed (on T4 only too), and my Endo says it's because I have a genetic Thyroid fault (1 parent) which is at cellular level, as evidenced by taking the DIO2 Test in 2022. Anyway, below are the results I mentioned from 01/05/24: 1.

Latest Bloods on T3 Trial, Comments Please.
TSH
, 0.01 range 0.27 -4.2 FT4, 17.3 range 12-22 FT3, 6 range 3.1 -6.8 I'm currently on 150mcg of Levo and 2x 6.25mcg of T3. Feeling much better on these results, more energy and get up and go. I was intending to test last week but realised I hadn't stopped B complex in time.

Hypo and Menopausal
GP is trying to help but doesn’t really understand and still only goes by
TSH
. Do the hormones interfere with each other? I make sure I take thyroid hormones in the morning and HRT in the evening.

New blood test results
TSH
0.007 (0.27-4.2) T3 6 (3.1- 6.8) T4 22.1 (12-22) Initially after reducing levo and introducing Lio, my sleep really improved (it was poor before and I suspected that this was caused by being overmedicated on levo/T3 still being too low).

I was treated with 50 micrograms of levothyroxine daily until this March when my
Tsh
finally crept above the Normal range.(0.55- 4.78). My dose was raised to 75 micrograms. At my 6 month checkup my
Tsh
had dropped from 4.91 to 0.38.

Help with blood results
My GP has only prescribed 25mcg (reluctantly) because the endo suggested my elevated
TSH
is not high enough for treatment and that my symptoms (weight gain, fatigue, concentration etc).
