Only looked at this one as on my phone and struggle with the print but looking at the Thyroid ones I suspect on the earliest date your doctor has looked at your low TSH, panicked and reduced your thyroid mets? So you r levels have continued to drop and I'm assuming you are feeling worse. Well you are under medicated. Once you are taking medication the TSH isn't an accurate reading. Your body senses you are getting medication from elsewhere so thinks it will have a rest and let the other source take over but your doctor I suspect has told you to take less. The meaningful result is your FT3 which nears to be in the top third or even in the top quarter and yours isn't even half way! Is there another doctor in the practice you can try? In the mean time have a look on the the Thyroid Uk site and read the info to may sure you are taking the medication correctly and not taking other things too close to it and also look at the list of symptoms as there are probably things you have that you havenet realised could be down to your thyroid. I would pribtvit out and tick those that apply and also show that yo your doctor thatvyou are symptomatic and are getting worse.

Mojas,

25/10/16 results show you are under medicated as TSH is high and FT4 below range. Your GP should increase dose.

The goal of Levothyroxine is to restore the patient to euthyroid status. For most patients that will be when TSH is 1.0 or lower with FT4 in the upper range. FT4 needs to be in the upper range in order that sufficient T3 is converted. 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.

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

aPeroxase 430 (^60) done one year ago

what does it mean? can you please explain.....or can anyone please explain it to me?

Thanks

Mojas,

Thyroglobulin antibodies are negative because they are <60 but thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). Please read my earlier reply where I explain Hashimoto's causes hypothyroidism.
