Uncertain about blood results

[Tercia]

Hi. I am confused with the results always going/down also my main concern at the moment is my protruding eyes. Im on 50mg for 4days and 100mg of Euthyrox. Thats the only copy of blood results that i have- I had Graves Disease a few years ago also radio active iodine treatment and since last year its been under active.

Tercia If you post your results, with reference ranges, members can comment. There's not really enough detail in your post. And 50mg/100 of what?

Tercia,

You should have your eyes checked as it sounds like you may have thyroid eye disease (TED).

Ask your GP receptionist for a printout of your thyroid results and the ranges (the figures in brackets after results) and post them in a new question for comment. If you have TED TSH needs to be suppressed <0.1 which can reduce the TED.

Tercia With such a high TSH and presumably low FT4 (range is needed to be certain) you are woefully under medicated. The aim of a treated hypo patient is for TSH to be 1 or below or wherever it is needed for FT4 and FT3 to be in the upper part of their respective reference ranges. And Clutter has given advice on where TSH needs to be with TED. You need an increase in dose of Euthyrox.

Thank you for replying. The TSH - how will it be suppressed. I see different doctors everytime, and they always saying different things- i've stopped asking/saying anything... when they ask 'how im doing, id just say 'fine. No one tells me or can tell me the right story. What could be affecting the constant change in the results- i am also on the 3month contraceptive injection- when i did ask more than one doctor they couldn tell me what it is that could be affecting the change in results. Its just made me so depressed for so long. I am 35 years old- 2 kids, a 19year old girl and a 10year old boy.
