Hi I lost my login GP stopped my levothyroxine and only TSH is below range so what do I do next please diagnosed 2011 and was taking 150mcg levothyroxine but was taking 150mcg levothyroxine and 20mcg t3 before that and I left 24 hours for levothyroxine and 12 hours for t3 and I fasted and had bloods done first thing thankyou
You were NOT over medicated just because of low TSH. FT4 is within range and FT3 is low
Your high antibodies confirm you have Hashimoto's
Hashimoto's very often affects the gut, leading to low stomach acid, low vitamin levels and leaky gut.
Low vitamins that affect thyroid are vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12. Important to test these.
If they are too low they stop Thyroid hormones working.
Have these been tested, if not ask that they are. Always get actual results and ranges.
As you have Hashimoto's then hidden food intolerances may be 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.
Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.
All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after.
