1st Bloods after reducing T3 from 25mcg to 20mcg- GP Surgery Concerned!

Test results look OK to me but the surgery have left message to say refer GP unless under Endo (which I am)

TSH 0.05 (0.2 - 5.5)

T3 5.4 (3.1 - 6.8)

T4 10 (10 - 24.5)

I am virtually symptom free now and think they are worrying about TSH!!?

Any comments before I email them to endo, he didn't seem worried about TSH when I saw him, was just concerned that T3 was a bit over range 😉

Send them to endo - he ought to know that these are good results as you do because you feel well. Your poor old GP did not learn enough in med school to know that it is T3 which works!!

Your t3 is well within range, which is more important than your low tsh. Combined with how well you're feeling I'd ask if they would give you another few months on this dose and retest. Could you write to endo and ask for a letter confirming that these results and this dose are fine? Did endo adjust your dose? Your t3 is fine now.

puncturedbicycle Yes after the 1st 4 months on self medicated 25mcg, he reduced it to 20mcg and wrote to GP requesting, again that they prescribe as I had been privately medicated under his care. The GP then prescribed. I do feel fine. I have to go back to the endo in August, the endo is a believer in T3.
