Hello! Please could I get some advice on my latest thyroid results?
My GP tested my TSH only in Feb and the results were 7.6 (previously been between 1.1-1.2 for over 4 years) so Endo consultant decided to start me on 50mg Levothyroxine.
I was retested 7weeks later and my thyroid was ‘normal’ so consultant told me to stop Levo. As these results would need 150-200mg of Levo.
April results
TSH is 1.1 (range 0.2-4.2)
FT4 17 (range 11-22)
FT3 5.4 (range 3.1-6.8)
I was still feeling unwell my consultant thought I was under medicated on my adrenals (currently taking 27.5mg hydrocortisone for Addison’s disease).
So 3weeks after stopping Levo I was tested for my Cortisol day curve and retested my thyroid. Had my results this week and my specialist nurse said my Cortisol profile was perfect! Also my thyroid was ‘normal’.
May results
TSH 3.9 (range 0.2-4.2)
FT4 14 (range 11-22)
FT3 4.8 (range 3.1-6.8)
I am concerned that in the 3 weeks since stopping Levo my TSH has started to elevate and T3 and T4 are dropping. My next appointment with my consultant is 13th July. I’m not sure I can/should wait that long as I might be in a worse situation.
Am I correct feeling concerned about my May results? Could I just only need a small amount of Levo? Should I push to see my consultant sooner?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
