Been back for my result

[Angela]

This is what is on my print out 0.06 mull 0.35-4.94mlu/l was told have been over medicated to go back in 4 weeks time and will do a t3 test as well I was on 100 and now on 75

Angela, did you take your thyroid meds before your blood test?

[Angela in reply to Clutter]

No I took them the day before not that morning

[Clutter in reply to Angela]

Angela, Your TSH is very responsive to 100mcg but unless you felt overmedicated I think your GP has been a bit hasty in reducing your meds to 75mcg. If your symptoms resume on the new dose make sure to go back and ask for another thyroid test.

Thank you for getting back to me I went because I have been so exhausted been on 75 for 6 days which isn't very long I know still exhausted constantly drained how long do you think I should leave it ??

[Clutter in reply to Angela]

Angela, Your GP can do a blood test 2/3 weeks after the dose reduction but may want to wait a little longer. I'd give it another few days and see the GP again and ask for your dose to be increased even if its 75mcg/100mcg alternate days. You should also ask for ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate to be tested as they're often low or deficient in hypothyroid patients and present with fatigue and other symptoms similar to hypothyroid symptoms.

Thank so much I do have a batch of prescriptions at the chemist so won't need to go to the doc but will ask for the other tests next time
