Please post a copy of your latest test results WITH ranges in brackets so we can advise.

You sound under medicated but we can't tell that until you post these.

You need to get hold of your results - with the ranges - it is your legal right to have a copy - and post them on here, so that we can see what's going on. Most doctors have no idea what they're doing, when it comes to thyroid, so we have to keep a constant check on them. I really cannot believe it is necessary to stop your 'meds' dead like that, so we need to see what's behind it all. OK?

Welcome to our forum Chloe_T.

Was your blood drawn at the very earliest possible time. Did you fast (you can drink water). Did you allow a 24 hour gap between your dose of levothyroxine and the test?

O.K. that's good as I was wondering if it is due to your TSH result he's reduced. Get a copy of your resultss so that comment
