Diagnosed hypo 3 years ago I stayed on 50mcgs of Levo because I was told my results were 'normal'
First print-out from Oct 2013
TSH 3.15 (0.35-5.00)
Free T4 11.8 (11.0 - 23.0)
Earlier this year I found the thyroid UK site and this forum, they have been a godsend. I thought I was loosing my mind at one point but this forum helped arm me with information to discuss with my doctor.
By chance I saw a different GP in May who listened and ordered blood tests.
TSH 1.44 (0.35-5.00)
Free T4 16.0 (11.00-23.00)
Folate 9.3 (4.60-18.70)
Ferritin 71 (12-300)
B12 571 (200.00-900.00)
She agreed to increase my Levo to 75mcg I also started taking 'vitabiotics Neurozan' with vit D to help my foggy brain.
Blood results Sept
TSH 1.69 (Increased slightly)
Free T4 16.0 (Same as before)
Increased Levo to 100mcg
Results today
TSH 0.10
Free T4 16.7
Seeing my doctor Monday morning, do I need to be asking for T3 to be checked? (not done as a rule in my area) antibodies?
Really not sure what's going on, still symptomatic, exhausted, dry itchy skin, hair falling out, unable to loose weight, joint pain etc
I would be grateful fo any advice from you knowledable people.
