hi seaside Susie, can I ask why you recommended deleting Peanut31 email address, I have included my email address when signing up for this site, I'm sent notifications to my email address, is this a good thing or not. I'd appreciate your advice.
I haven't recommended that Peanut31 removes her email address.
The Original Poster - Sand80 - included her email address in her opening post. I suggested she removes her email address from her post, not from her account. You need it for your account but you should never put your email address on a forum for all and sundry to see.
Hi - my TSH was 1.62 - FT3 was 5.0 - T4 was 28. I was tested after taking meds so T4 wouldn't be quite as elevated normally. The issue I have is to have enough energy I have to take a certain amount. I have a slightly odd dose schedule of 3 days at 125 followed by 1 day at 100 this is cycled. I would prefer to take exactly the same dose everyday - but would involve switching to TEVA as 125 per day is too high for me I found, hence alternating. On low dose days I often find my energy levels and mental sharpness feel off. This is best I've managed level wise in 2 years+ since total thyroidectomy to treat Graves. I tried in vain to get an endo to prescribe T3 also as a trail. Docs literally act like haven't heard of. I am diagnosed lactose intolerant so would be able to switch to TEVA brand, perhaps 112.5 per day? But I haven't heard great things about it vs one I'm taking now. I wish Tirosant T4 was available in Uk on NHS as I think a pure form would work best. I do know a fair amount about meds but any feedback would be helpful - I've found getting a doc to discuss any other meds outside of standard, pretty poor levothyroxine almost impossible! Sorry for long ramble feel free to message with any thoughts - PM also welcome!
Surely the ranges differ but the results are the same no? Whether the range is between 5.7 or 6.8? The range doesn't alter the result or am I wrong? I know both the TSH and T3 are in range - as far as I can remember the FT4 range is up to 22 and T3 up to 6.8 - the TSH is up to 5. If that doesn't help I'll dig out results and repost. Thanks
