TPOab >1300 (<34)

TGab 258.3 (<115)

TSH 33.9 (0.27 - 4.20) yes 33.9!

Free T4 10.6 (12.0 - 22.0)

Free T3 4.0 (3.10 - 6.80)

Was doing well on 100mcg levo and 10mcg T3 before endo took T3 away saying it wasn't helping. Results on this dose

TSH <0.02 (0.2 - 4.2)

Looks to me like it was helping! How would he know, anyway! He just wanted you off it because of the cost! It's happening to a lot of people.

Now, you are terribly under-medicated. Did he just leave you on the 100 mcg levo?

And, yes, you do have Hashi's. Both your antibodies are well over-range. But, if your endo acknowledges the at all, he probably calls it 'autoimmune thyroiditis'. :)

Hi yes I am on just the 100mcg but I am confused about symptoms - sweats, feeling cold, insomnia, muscle cramps, tiredness, heavy periods, weight loss, tremor

They are all hypo symptoms. Why are you confused? And, there can't possibly be any confusion when one looks at your TSH! You are very hypo and under-medicated.

You also have Hashi's, so symptoms can be confusing, as levels can fluctuate. But, basically you are, and always will be, hypo.

However, some of your symptoms could be due to low nutrients : vit d, vit B12, folate and ferritin. So, ask your doctor to test those.

Muscle cramps could be due to low magnesium. No point in testing, just take some, you're bound to be low, anyway.

Doctor told me they weren't hypo symptoms but caused by something else so this is what is confusing me. Have been tested for vitamins already, no idea what to do about them. Thanks

Post the results with ranges for comment. Say if you are taking supplements.

Doctors know nothing about symptoms. They always say that. Ignore him, they are hypo symptoms. :)

Your probably going to have to either insist your T3 is reinstated or self treat

They have been stopping T3 due to outrageous price increase charged to NHS (T3 is cheap in Europe)

But first vitamin levels need improving and you need to address the raised antibodies (Hashimoto's)

Hashimoto's causes leaky gut and this then causes hidden food intolerances causing issues, most common by far is gluten. Changing to a strictly gluten free diet may help reduce symptoms. Very, very many of us here find it really helps and can slowly lower antibodies.

Read as much as possible about Hashimoto's. Medics ignore it or don't understand it.
