New TSH levels

[Janey71]

Hi I have new results, was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on them please? TSH 0.24 FT4 15.7, I am currently on 75mcg of levo and my endocrine nurse had kept my Levo as it is till I go back in 8 weeks? Is this normal and is there any advice of what I can expect when I go back, yo be honest I feel more 'normal' than I have for a while so I didn't really want her to mess with my med's! Was that the right thing to do? Thanks in advance

I previously had Graves' disease which levelled out feb 14, diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 14

Janey, if you feel good on a dose, avoid changing it. Your TSH is probably slightly below range but is fine. FT4 looks ok too. Half to 3/4 of the way through range is good. If your follow up test result is similar there shouldn't be any change to your dose.

If you find that clinical symptoms are returning before the 8 weeks, make an appointment for another blood test, not taking levo before it and having test as early as possible.

RFU, is there a reason you suggest taking the vitamin at bedtime. I used to work in a lab and the PhD said to always take vitamins with food to facilitate absorption. I would assume the stomach is fairly empty at bedtime.

I was told by a Nutritionist (who has written for TUK in the past) that you should take Vitamins in the morning to wake you up and Minerals at night to help with sleep. Would be good to have some scientific evidence for this, but fully agree with taking them with food as they are absorbed better and good to have them recommended anyway RFU.
