What medication are you on and what amount of it relates to which test result? Do you have the ranges? Have you had any other tests? How do you feel?

[Ruby72]

What do u mean the normal ranges,

I feel ill I have for the past 6 months since it all started

Aching

Weak arms and legs

Knee's grinding

Tired all the time

Labs have different ranges. Find them on your blood test copy after item result. Needed to assess exactly what your results mean.

If you could answer all Poppy's questions it would help greatly in deducing why you feel ill

[Poppy03]

Am I right in saying that this happened after you had your last baby? If so how old is that child.

[Ruby72]

Yes it's the worst it's ever been

[Poppy03 in reply to Ruby72]

how old is that child? Have you had any other tests, iron, Vit B12, Vit D, etc etc. How long have you been on the 300mcg, what test result does this amount of medication relate to?

Have your doses been changed during that time. If your doctor during that time has reduced your dose at any point then he doesn't really know what he is doing and you should be asked to be referred to an endocrinologist as at no point has your TSH been low enough. Your TSH is still very high and you need your thyroxine increased. Anything above 2 is high. Aim for a TSH of 0.5. 300ug is actually quite a high dose. Do you ever forget to take tablets? If not then there may be something else going on that is affecting your metabolism of the thyroid hormones.

TSH 2.8 u/ml [0.35 -6.9] This is a TSH result with the normal ranges following. But this is an awful example because anyone taking meds for hypo should be about 1 or lower. All lab tests have their own ranges preset so your test can be evaluated again what they consider normal for their lab.

Is your doctor trying to determine if you have Graves which may bounce you between hyper and hypo. drrind.com/therapies/thyroi...
