Welcome to the forum, Corina69.

Members are more inclined to share sources when you include background like recent thyroid results and ranges and current thyroid medication.

Corina69 - As you are a new member and there's nothing in your profile,if you'd like to give us more information about your thyroid story, members are more likely to respond and be willing to share their source.

If you post your latest test results - TSH, FT4 and FT3, plus current dose of thyroid meds - members can give guidance as to dose and whether or not your Levo needs to be reduced.

Sorry for not providing any info.

I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April 2016.

In May 2016 I had full thyroidectomy.

Since then I have been placed on Levothyroxine.

The dosage keeps on changing as my TSH keeps on going up at the moment being 22.19.

I am taking 175 mcg after going up and down for the last year.

The cancer was at microscopic stage so no further treatment was needed.

For the last few months I started putting on weight considerably even though I have a strict diet and a very active life.

I also feel tired all the time and get dizzy.

All my blood tests have come back normal including my vit B12, D, etc.

my GP won't prescribe any T3 so I want to give it a try without spending hundreds of pounds that's why I need to know which one is a genuine website.

Thank you

Corina69,

Your GP should do a tissue transglutaminase blood test to rule out coeliac disease causing malabsorption of Levothyroxine. That's a typical reason for having such high TSH while taking 175mcg which is quite a high dose even for someone thyroidectomised.

Does your GP not test FT4 in addition to TSH?

[Corina69 in reply to Clutter]

My FT4 was 12.8 few weeks ago when I got my last tests done.

I don't the transglutaminase blood test also, awaiting results

[Clutter in reply to Corina69]

Corina69,

FT4 12.8 is usually in range. I would expect it to be very low to have triggered high TSH.

Do you take biotin or a B complex vitamin?

[Corina69 in reply to Clutter]

I take B complex

[Clutter in reply to Corina69]

Corina69,

You need to not take biotin/B Complex the day of your blood tests. If the lab use biotin to analyse blood test results it will skew the results. endo.confex.com/endo/2016en...
