Hi I wonder if anyone can help - I am taking 150mg levothyroxine per day and finding it really hard to lose weight - I'm around 14 stone and 5'5. I had a genova test done and
Total T4 is 70 (58-162nmol/l) - in range
TSH is 7.74 (0.4-4.00mIU/L) High
Free T4 12.0 (11.5-22.7 pmol/L) in range
Free T3 3.8 (2.8-6.5 pmol/L) in range
Ft4:FT3 3.2 (2.0-4.5) in range
Reverse T3 0.31 (0.14-0.54 nmol/L) in range
Thyroglobulin less than 20 (less than 40IU/mL) in range
Peroxidase 47 (less than 35 IU/mL) high
Can anyone explain why the TSH is high but T4, T3 and R T3 are within range? Is the peroxidase an issue ?And how I can start losing weight? Any advice gratefully received!
Thanks
Cath
