Hello, still fairly new on here but wanted a bit of help understanding my latest bloods.
Serum TSH level - 0.10 (0.3- 5)
Serum Free T4 level - 15.6 (12 - 22)
Serum free triiodothyronine - 4.9 (3-7)
These were al taken last week, first thing in the morning, without any levo in my system for 24 hours. (I take 75mcg everyday)
My last results were taken last month, again in the morning and with my medication in my system (I didn't know not to take it)
Serum TSH level - 0.14
Serum Free T4 level - 17.6
Serum Free triiodothyronine - 4.9
I feel truly terrible, the worst I have ever felt, my weight gain is huge and I will do anything to get that down.
I have brought some T3 but I am unsure of the dosage to take, they are in tablet form (25mcg) and are difficult to split, so was going to add one tablets a day aswell as my levo, but don't know if this is right?
Why isn't my Levo making me feel better? It doesn't seem to hardly be changing my results, so is it not working?
I have also had abnormal LFTs for many years and wondered whether that would make a difference to why my T3 isn't making me feel better, or maybe why im not not converting well?
My latest LFTs
Serum APL - 140 - (35 - 104)
Serum GGT - 55 - (7 - 33),
Should I see somebody about these? I have always been told the are out of range but nothing has even been done about them. I thought it was just because I am Anorexic but now thinking it might be what is troubling my thyroid.
Any help would be really appreciated, I am so depressed and scared. Thank you.
Hi Belle Bellerin sorry I can't help with your results but someone with more knowledge will be able to give you the advice your looking for. I do know that prescription strength T3 25mg = 75mg of levo, try not to worry you will get good advice here.
Thank you, feeling very lost at the moment.
I would also think you're probably not converting T4 to T3 so adding T3 might well be the answer...but wait for more knowledgeable replies. Have you had your B12, vitamin D, ferritin & folate checked too ?
