Just wanted to post as I'm really in need of some more advice I've just had a blood test 6 weeks after being on Efra and the results are:
TSH 0.13 (range 0.3 - 5.6)
t4 - 9.3 (range 6.3 - 14)
My results pre- Efra when I was 100mcg of levo and 20 mcg of T3 a day were:
Free T4 is 9.4 pmol/L (range 9-23)
Free T3 4.8 pmol/L (range 2.5-5.7)
TSH 0.12 (range 0.3-2.0)
I've basically emailed my endo to say that I'd like to increase my NDT dose now I've been on it for 7 weeks and he's said that based on those recent bloods he doesn't want me to increase as he's not happy that my TSH is below range - which is what every endo I ever see always says since I've been on T3!
So basically I'm not sure what to do - do I just ignore his advice and increase anyway?
Since starting the NDT literally nothing has happened - I've not had any symptom improvements but I also don't seem to have any side effects.
The endos next plan is to try me on some DHEA - just wondered what people thought of that?
One other thing to mention is that I also had my B12 checked again on that recent blood test and it was 447 (range 180 - 914). I had my last B12 injection on the 19th August so I'm a little concerned that the levels seem quite low in the range given that I'm not due another injection until the 12th November!!!
Just really unsure of what my next move should be?
