THS <0.01 mU/L (0.35 – 4.94) Last test 20/09/2016 0.04
T4 17.90 ng/L (7.00-1.80) Last Test 22/6/2016 13.00
T3 2.99 ng/L (1.71-3.71)
T3r 0.42 μg /L (0.09-035)
These are the first test results since having an uplift of Levo from 125μg to 137.5μg at the beginning of April this year. The THS and T4 were ordered by the GP and the T3 and T3 reverse were paid for privately.
I would be grateful if someone would someone have a look at them and tell me what is happening and what it all means – should I be worried?
I would really like to stay on this current dose as the improvements in my overall wellbeing are so far are really good with noticeable regular improvements. I am so, so worried that he will reduce the dose.
Many Thanks

FT4 is over range but some people do need it a little high to feel well and your FT3 remains within range so you aren't overmedicated. rT3 is a little over range and this is probably due to your high FT4.
If you feel well I wouldn't make any changes but I suspect your GP will want to reduce dose as TSH is suppressed and FT4 over range. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email enquiries@thyroiduk.org if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP to persuade him/her not to reduce dose.
