I had private testing and am taking the results to the GP on Tuesday. My results
TSH 0.019 (0.27-4.2)
Free Thyroxine 18.82 (12.0-22.0)
FT3 4.23 (3.1-6.8)
Thyroglobulin antibody 343.3 (0 - 115.0)
Peroxidase AB 10.06 (0 - 34.0)
Vitamin B12 1302 (191.0 - 663.0)
Folate 16.92 (4.6 - 18.700)
Vitamin D 74.65 (50.0 - 200.0)
Ferritin 108.6 (13.0 -150.0)
CRP 9.4 (0. - 5.0)
I'm on 100mcg Levo. I saw the GP before I got my own test results as he had done TSH and FT4, I wanted the FT3 done to see if I was converting as my FT3 never rises even though my dose has gone from 25mcg to 100mcg over the 10 months.
My symptoms are leg stiffness/weakness, pain and more recently anxiety. The GP told me to lower my Levo to 75mcg as he felt that was what was causing the anxiety. I decided to stay on 100 until I'd seen my private bloods. I've been on 5.000iu of Vit D3 daily along with magnesium and K2 plus a prescribed monthly 25,000u vial. this has not raised my Vit D at all ( it's actually gone down slightly.) So on Friday I doubled my dose to 10.000iu and I appear to have had almost instant relief from my joints! The stiffness has reduced along with the aches, (not completely normal though).
I am going to request i stay on 100mcg Levo and try to get the GP to prescribe me daily 10,000iu Vit D3, instead of the monthly 25,000.
I know this is long winded but my question is, 'Is it possible the anxiety is due to such a high B12 level ( i was supplementing but stopped after this result) or the low D3?'
If I can raise my VitD3 to between 100 -150 I feel my aches and pains will completely go!
Also is it worth trying to get T3, as my FT3 is not rising or would it be fine to leave as it is?
