Hello,
Halinka here (Euthyroid Hashimotos/ saw endo privately who agreed to trialing 25mcg thyroxine for symptoms of low mood and brain fog and about to change to a trial of 10mcg of t3 on his recommendation. Also on the anti-dep mirtazapine)
Just back From Poland where I had some bloods done. They were done early morning before taking my 25mcg of thyroxine.
Tsh - 0.91 ( 0.35-4.94)
Ft3 - 2.14 (1.71-3.71)
Ft4 0.92- (0.70-1.48)
Anti tpo 36.58 (<6)
Anti tg 17.32 (< 4.5)
Vitamin D - 31.5 (range 30-80)
Would my Tsh have been higher or lower had I taken my morning thyroxine?
I see that my tsh is a lot lower but my ft3 & 4 are still quite low. My bloods were tested on Poland before I started on thyroxine. That's how I was diagnosed with hashimotos. The results then were:
TSH 2.226 (0.35-4.94)
Free T3 2.59 (1.71-3.71)
Free T4 0.81 (0.7-1.48)
Anti TG 40.33 (<4.5)
Anti TPG 55.26 (<6)
My endo (who hasn't seen these results as I saw him a while back) wants me to stop thyroxine and try 10mcg of t3 instead. I start tomorrow. I'll send him these latest results. I wonder if it will effect his decision. Perhaps Its a good thing im charging to t3 given the low result?
The good news (I feel) is that my antibodies have dropped. I don't know if this is cos of the thyroxine or if it's to do with having gone gluten free for last five months.
