Dear All
I have Hashimotos and been on levo for 15 years. Cant tolerate T3 in any form and currently working on adrenals.
1. GP ran some blood tests and is concerned that the levels of the above are 4.81 (should be less than 2.3). I have read somewhere that (like cholesterol levels) this can be to do with hypothyroidism. He has referred me to cardiologist in a hurry.
Does anyone have any comments on this? Could it be linked to thyroid diseaase?
2. Also they ran the usual NHS test (T4 and TSH only) and here are results:
T4 17.1 range 12 - 22
TSH 1.81
I have just dropped my T4 from 87.5/day as I was feeling hyper on the above which I think is the seasonal adjustment. While I dont pay much attention to TSH, I am surprised that its as high as 1.81 as it normally runs around 1 .
Could anyone please comment on either of the issues ?
Thank you
Andrea
