I was hyperthyroid, then after Neocarbazole went just under, niw the endo says i am slightly overactive again and i should take 1 neocarbazole 5 mg daily. I seem to have more hypo symptoms though.... cold, tired, dizzy, no get up and go....
Here are my latest blood results....
T4 frei 11.5 ref 6.8 -18.00
TSH ( 3.15) 0.066 ref 0.25 - 4
Would really appreciate your feed back.
Thanks

TSH 0.066 is suppressed but your FT4 is less than halfway through range so I don't think you are hyperthyroid. I would order a private thyroid test to check FT3 level in addition to FT4. Unless FT3 is over range I don't think I would want to take 5mg as it will make FT4 drop further.
Thanks Clutter, have decided not to take it anymore for the moment. I have to be tested again mid June.
As I have a goitre growing inwards I am on the way towards a total thyroidectomy, which I am not keen on at all! Waiting to have lung capacity test done.
I had a hemithyroidectomy and completion thyroidectomy 3 months later. I had very little pain post op and recovered well from the surgery. I later had probelems with Levothyroxine but I'm well on Levothyroxine + T3 now. Some retrosternal goitres are removed in pieces so the surgery may not be too radical or invasive.
Oh that is good to hear. The surgery isnt my biggest worry really, its the aftermath of getting the levo right etc. I sppose you self medicated the T3? Good to hear that you feel fine now.
