Levothyroxine and reduced TSH.

[siskin]

For ages I thought I understood the TSH cycle and feedback loops. Now I seem to have lost the plot.

Now on 50 mg Levo. no obvious change in 8 weeks. My blood results show probably not converting. High TSH, T4 at top, low T3

What I can't seem to get my head round is aim to get TSH down, which would apparently reduce stimulation of thyroid gland. thereby reducing thyroxine production.

If Levo. is further increased TSH further reduced, so thyroid output presumably reduced.

Is natural thyroxine just being replaced by the synthetic Levo.? Is thtere any point in asking GP for increase in Levo?

Thanks

No, ask him for T3, because you're obviously not converting.

Thanks Grey, dr. has only agreed to Levo. cos. ENT consult suggested a trial. when I saw him privately over ENT prob. Doc only takes notice of useless endo. and he says I am not hypo T cos of high T4

Am getting tired of battles.

>High TSH, T4 at top, low T3.

Do you have the actual figures, and your lab's reference ranges? If so, could you post them?

Thanks.

Hi, Bobbin2 have tests before starting Levo trial and will have new results to-morrow to compare, will post them then. Thank you..
