Hi everyone
Due to the helpful advice on here, I asked for more blood tests. Although T3 was not done my latest results are;
TSH 2.50 (0.30-4.80)
T4 14.6 (8.4-19.1)
I am on 100mcg levo and have been for 7 weeks.
Previous results 7 weeks ago on 50mcg levo were;
TSH 16.41
T4 14.1
Antibodies also positive and therefore told I had Hashi's
Prior to that, when diagnosed 12 weeks ago my results were;
TSH 132.96
T4 3.6
My doctor now says my results are fine and that I should stay on the 100mcg levo. Although my symptoms have slightly improved I still don't feel good. I am exausted, still losing hair and gaining weight and the pains in my legs are still terrible and I feel really down. Doctor said if T4 was fine again this time I should give it at least 3 months of 100mcg levo to see if it improves my TSH further.
I have also been prescribed 400mg Ferros Sulphate following a result of 21.4 at the end of May. Also 45 ug Vit D3 following a result of 46 (<50 deficiency) at the same time.
Following advice on here I asked for serum B12 and Folate this time. Here are the results;
B12 195 (145-914) (note - I have been taking 400 ug Folic Acid for the past 7 weeks)
Folate 5.20 (3.00-20.00) (note - I have been taking 2.5 ug Vitamin B12 for the past 7 weeks)
Report says all is fine. Only thing marked on the blood test is;
MCHC 347.0 (315.0 - 345.0) high
Can anyone shed any light on these results for me please? Should I just stay on the 100mcg levo and hope to improve further as I have only been on it a while? I read the posts on here each day to try and learn about all of this but I am not quite there yet!
Many thanks
