Interpretation of my latest BT please

[thoga]

Hello,

my latest blood test results

- serum free T3 level -5.2 (3.50-6.50)

- serum free T4 level -12.6 (9.00-24.00)

serum TSH level - under 0.03 (0.35-5.00)

I would welcome your opinion please...

thanks

Thoga,

TSH is suppressed, FT4 is low in range and FT3 is good, almost in the top third of range. You appear to be optimally medicated.

Thank you. Problem is, I feel hypo, tired, gaining the weigh (currently I am more then 30kgs overweight)...all usual symptoms. And my GP is scared by THS suppressed to such a level, therefore intends to decrease medication. I don't know, what to do.

Thoga,

Suppressed TSH does not indicate over medication when FT4 and FT3 are within range. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP.

As you feel hypo and tired it may be an idea to ask your GP to check ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate which are commonly low or deficient in hypothyroid patients.
