Kez1984,

You are profoundly hypothyroid to have TSH so high with FT4 and FT3 below range. As I said in your previous post you need to resume taking Levothyroxine.

Absolutely! No wonder you are in a state! I apologise now for suggesting you should wait to see the endo!

Because you have reacted to the medication in the past, it might be an idea to split your dose into two half doses daily. Just in case.

I have been and got the levo 50mcg but the actavist brand instead of teva...

I was thinking of cutting it in half with a pill cutter?

Just soo unsure of what to do as dont want a reaction again and also confused how iv been told on here that when your not on enough u get anxiety, but on the levo leaflet in the box it says when your on too much it causes anxiety etc?

Have u looked at my t3 and antibody results aswell?

Would 25mcg give me a reaction, i would prefer to slowly bring my levels back up then have adverse effects..

Yes, cut in half and take one half now - assuming its 2 hours since you ate.

If you do get a reaction it shouldn't be strong. And its unlikely to be caused by the levo itself, so it might be worth trying to take an anti-histamine to see if that helps. One way or the other you are going to need to get some hormone in.

Well i have just took a half which is a 25mcg of the levo actavist after your advice.. so we shall see.. how long before it gets in the bloodstream to affect me?.

Hi Ruthi... After looking at my tsh t3 and t4 pictures i have posted does it look like im converting the t4 to t3 well do u think?.. as iv been told on here that it looks like its not converting well, but i thought the low t3 was because iv not been taking the levo for 3 weeks??..

Not what you're looking for?
