Latest test results

I'm taking 100mcg levo and have been for the past 6 weeks or so. My most recent results (15/6) are

TSH. 0.6 (0.27 - 4.20)

FT4. 16.3 (12 - 22)

FT3 4.53 (3.10 - 6.8)

TGAB. 91.86 (0 - 115)

TPAb 14.09 (0 - 34)

My GP isn't aware I'm taking 100mcg. She wanted me to stay on 50. I feel quite well on 100 mcg - not brilliant. I still have some breathlessness from time to time but nothing like it was before. I have an appointment early next week and will come clean. I'm hoping she'll agree to prescribe 100. My query is do these results suggest I'm optimally treated or is there room for another increase? On another issue, I was attempting to be completely gluten free for the past year and gave up trying about 5 weeks ago when I was on holiday. There's been a very slight increase in antibodies but nothing significant. I'm now doubting whether, in my case at least, gluten really makes that much difference. Your comments/advice will be most welcome. Bags

Hi Bagster, I was breathless on any incline/stairs but have noticed a big improvement after supplementing B12 and B complex. I also noticed its boosted my conversion of T4 to T3 (I'm on levo 75mcg)

There is lots of info on the Pernicious anaemia health unlocked site if you think this may help.

Others with more expertise will be along to advise re levo.

Thanks VP17. Which B-complex supplement are you using?

[SunsetLady]

Hi Bags, I use Jarrows Methyl 5000 B12 and Thorne Basic B complex, both from Amazon.

Thanks. I already take a decent B12 but I definitely need to use a good B complex. I'll try Thornes . x
