First ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test
The
TSH
result would indicate I need to increase levo, also I'm concerned at high CRP and antibodies! Plus I don't think I convert T4 to T3 very well. Your thoughts are very much welcomed and valued.

would I benefit from T3?
My latest results are: T4: 16.5 (11.9-21.6)
TSH
: 0.49 (0.27-4.2) T3: 4.6 (3.9-6.8) would T3 be of any benefit?

Feel worse on 100mcg Levothyroxine. I felt better on 75mcg. I’m not over medicated. Is this thyroid gland suppression?
On 125-150mcg my
TSH
will definitely be suppressed. Just hoping I can get back to the gym regularly. Been out for a few runs with the dog this week nearly killed me!! 🤣.

Research for effects of insufficient Levo starting dose
Hi Quick recap: Endo started me on 25 mcg of Levo following an ultrasound showing a Hashi thyroid and increasing
TSH
. It has been a week now and I feel ghastly.

LOOKING FOR ARTICLES SUPPORTING A SUPPRESSED TSH WHEN ON NDT
I am looking for published articles that support the following “the
tsh
will be suppressed despite normal t4 and normal t3 in patients taking NDT medication” I am looking for supportive articles to use with my dr who is struggling to accept my NDT dose and believes I am over medicated despite normal

A friend
She’d only ever been measured for
TSH
and T4 she thought. Her
TSH
had been 100 at one test, she thought. I then got angry because she told me she’d been put off going back to her Endo because he had said she was fat because she was greedy and ate too much. Then she cried again.

TSH over 4.5 for 10 years, nothing else but symptoms got worse
I’ve had a kind of high
tsh
since I was 19. I’ve tested it along with T4, the 2 antibodies, not sure if also T3, and they all were fine except my
Tsh
(4.5).

TSH has dropped below range
Hi I recently had my
tsh
tested by my GP. It is 0.17 and the range is 0.27 to 4.2. Previously in March my
tsh
was around 2 (can't find the actual result). My GP wants to lower my dose but I'm worried that this would not be a good thing and it took a bit of fighting to get the 175mg I'm prescribed.

Update following long-awaited GP appointment for results of Thyroid blood test
I was told that my
TSH
level is the worse it has ever been and that it has always been extremely erratic. I was shown a graph of my
TSH
levels, from around 2006 to date, which had wild variations causing zig zags of massive peaks and troughs.
