I posted recently where I was considering self medicating as I have so many symptoms on Levothyroxine meds.
I've had my levels checked by Medicheck and the results are:
*
T4 - 134.4 nmol/L (59-154)
*
T3 - 1.4 nmol/L (1.3 - 3.1)
* FT4 - 22.99pmol/L (12.00 - 22.00)
* TSH was 1.05 (0.3 - 5.0)
Seeing the GP last week I suggested how I had felt a little better when my TSH was lower that it is currently, but of course within range. He agreed to allow me to add 25mcg to the 100mcg I already take with a blood test in January to ensure it is still within range. He said if there is no major improvement, or the TSH is out of range then he would not allow me to continue with the extra 25mcg.
I would be grateful for any feedback on this.
Thank you in advance.
