Hi Tracey,

Post thyCa I was advised my TSH should be suppressed <0.1 It took a couple of months on 200mcg T4 to achieve this as I recall.

Thankyou for replying, My completion TT was in May 2012, Ive been on 125 levothyroxine since then. Bit of a puzzle and still so much to understand.

Thanks once again

My completion TT was Mar 2012 followed by RAI in May 2012. My TSH was 0.03 on 100mcg until I started self medicating.

If you're concerned you should ask your specialist if you're undermedicated.

Hi tracey, my TSH is 0.01 - told its meant to be like this after thyroid cancer. Also if my Free T4 is not in the 20's I feel ill.

What dose are you on?

Hi

My TSH is 0.001 following cancer. You could ask for T3, that will suppress your TSH immediately.....
