For people to be able to answer you properly you will need to give more information like, what do you mean by unrecordable and what has your medication been reduced to and from what and why were you reduced, was it because your TSH was so low or were you suffering symptoms of over medication.

Hi Can you give your tSH, T4 and Free T3 results with the ranges ( all vary). Only way to be sure. What was your tSH before any treatment? Always ask for a print out with ranges from receptionist, keep.It is possible that the low TSH is caused by the Pituitary gland. If low, you should always have a 24 hour urine test. Unless it goes up again soon.

It is quite easy to be overdosed , as the symptoms of Hypo can be the same as Hyper.Sleep pattern often the easiest way to tell.

Best wishes,

Jackie

About 4 weeks ago I went to GP with headaches were I had TSH taken and it was found to be 0.02,he told me to reduce thyroxine from 150mcg to 125mcg,which I did and TSH still went down,but headaches improved.I ended up in hospital feeling really ill,they said go to your GP in morning.

GP just said TSH unrecordable ,no levels given.He said to reduce my dose of thyroxine from 125mcg to 100 mcg daily.That was 2 weeks ago and still feel jittery.Whats going on?
