A view from the people who know please

[Jayneywales]

Got my blood results back; FT3 4.4 range 3.5-6.5, TSH less than 0.03 range 0.35-5.5, FT4 11.1 range 10-19.8.

I am back taking 20 T3 and 100 Levo as when I dropped the T3 to 10 I didn't feel too good.

I am wondering if my T4 needs bringing up a bit?

Have a GP appt tomorrow and the TSH will freak him out but I will go armed

Thanks in anticipation for your views.

Your TSH and FT4 are low because you are taking T3. Perfectly normal. Your body only hangs on to the T4 it needs - T4 is a storage hormone - it doesn't need much in store because a) it doesn't need to convert much, given the amount of T3 you are taking, and b) you are taking a decent dose of T4 every day.

So, no, the FT4 does not need bringing up, and neither does the TSH.

JayneyWales,

As Greygoose has said. Low/suppressed TSH doesn't mean you are over medicated as long as FT4 and FT3 are within range.
