New labs after synthroid for 2 months

[Funnygembunni]

Started synthroid 25mcg for a month, increased to 50mcg about three weeks ago...

New labs

Thyroxine Free (FT4) 1.44- normal range (0.80-1.73)

T3 Total

(Thyronine). 123- normal range (72-180)

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 0.770

Normal range (0.18-4.53)

[Clutter]

Funnygembunni, TSH is low-normal and FT4 is almost in the upper quadrant of range which is considered ideal. As you've only been on 50mcg for 3 weeks it's likely TSH will drop a little lower and FT4 rise a little higher in the next 3 weeks.

So this change is a good one? Why do I feel symptomatic still? 4 days ago my symptoms got worse. What's up with that?

[Clutter in reply to Funnygembunni]

Funnygembunni, I don't know what your previous results were, but this set is looking good. Symptoms can lag behind good biochemistry by a couple of months. You've only been taking replacement 7 weeks, it will take time for your body to respond and symptoms to resolve.
