In UK my
TSH
is 0.21 m/U/L. Doc says it's fine but I'm not sleeping & have excess hair loss again. I've seen optimal range for healthy adults at 0.5-1.0 but that in uIU/mL so I'm confused. Is my
TSH
reading then showing too low or high & do I need to lower my levo meds and or up them?

Cost of a full thyroid panel v TSH alone
We often hear of patients being refused a full thyroid panel due to cost. Can anyone tell me the cost differential to the NHS as I suspect it may be minimal.

TSH &T4 levels after total thyroidectomy

has reduced below normal levels and T4 are normal but my symptoms are as if
TSH
is too high. I’m expecting a reduction in thyroxine prescription but worried symptoms will worsen. I’d prefer a small increase but that is likely to worsen

Advice please on latest results after dose decrease
Tested for pernicious anemia but seems dietary) I weigh 51kg now having put on a few kgs - for my weight my doctor says levo dose is still too high and
tsh
negligible - we know that's because I take t3 though she refuses to understand that.

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.

Plant Sterols
TSH
0.15/ T4 - 22.00/ T3 - 4.6I feel ok thyroid wise, however, my cholestrol was 6.7. I am going to make some life style changes but I asked the pharmacist about Plant Sterols, needless to say she didn't know anything about them and whether they work.
