I am looking for some advice re my recent blood test, photo attached. The advice I have had from here so far has been fabulous. I feel quite well just now on Nature-thyroid 3 grain but my TSH is very suppressed.
My previous bloods were done in December on Nature-throid 2 grain and and were as follows:- TSH 0.82 range 0.27-4.2, Free Thyroxine 11.8 range 12-22, free t3 4.8 range 3.1-6.8.
I have increased gradually and have been feeling much better upto 3 grain.
I feel I should maybe reduce my dose to 2.75 grain or 2.5 grain but I am concerned that my free thyroxine may drop to low. I felt pretty unwell on 2grain in Dec and my free thyroxine was below range at this time.
Currently take Jarrows b12 am and good multivitamin in evening so not to interfere with absorption of Nature-throid.
If I drop by 1/4 and get bloods done in 6 weeks does that seem reasonable.
Is there anything else I should consider?
Thank you for all your help. Amanda

If you feel well, leave well alone - stay on 3 grains. TSH being suppressed doesn't matter if your FT3 is in range, though most doctors and many endos don't seem to get that (my other half has had a similar argument with her endonob today...).
I must tell you that you are wasting your money with a multivit, no matter how 'good' it is - I very much doubt it's that good, just expensive.
There isn't enough of anything in a multi vit to treat any sort of deficiency. Plus there are things you Don't want, plus things that shouldn't be taken together...
You'd be far better off getting a B complex to go with your B12, rather than a multi vit.
