Mandy72,

You posted that you'd had the bloods done but didn't post results. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

You are undermedicated to have TSH 4.53. Ask your GP to increase dose.

HbA1c and glucose are considerably down. Are you still taking metformin?

Low creatinine:

Low blood levels of creatinine are not common, but they are also not usually a cause for concern. They can be seen with conditions that result in decreased muscle mass. Levels of 24-hour urine creatinine are evaluated with blood levels as part of a creatinine clearance test.2 Feb 2017

Other results are within range (normal) except cholesterol which doesn't have a range by it. Cholesterol may be higher than normal because TSH is high and will probably drop once you are optimally dosed.

im sure i posted them, oh well

im supposed to be on 150 eltroxin but that dose makes me feel so off so im adding t3, 100 eltroxin and just increased to 12.5 t3

my creatinine has always been low and drs have never said its anything to worry about

yes still on metformin 1500mg a day

not sure what to do about my B12 as thats lower since june, it was 551 (not supplementing at the time) and now im supplementing

folate has also dropped from 8

Mandy72,

If B12 and folate are dropping you might want to supplement. 1,000mcg methylcobalamin every 2-3 days will probably be enough B12 and a B Complex vitamin will give a little boost to folate.
