I cannot take it any more. i think ever since I switch from euthyrox to eltroxin my eye keep twitching. I just received thyroid-s. Still not sure to try it yet. I have hashimoto.

My result:

T3 - 6.85 (3.5-6.5)

T4 - 16.2 (9-25)

TSH - 0.22 (0.4-4.7)

Am I consider hyper now?

Did you leave approx 24 hours between thyroid hormone dose and your blood test? Did you have it at the earliest and fast before it?

Bellameow, if you left 24 hours between last dose and blood draw you are very slightly overmedicated. If you took your Levothyroxine just before your blood test you are on an optimal dose.

I also have the twitching eye thing - it is really annoying. Agree with what the others have said about your results

For me eye twitching usually comes when I'm extra tired.

Google for 'twitching eye' and you'll find several useful sites such as this one

common causes are fatigue, stress and caffeine.

Eye twitching may also be related to vitamin D3 and/or B12 deficiency.
