Posted a couple of weeks ago and Seaside Susie replied about ferritin levels. i’m trying to eat more iron rich foods ( but not liver i’m afraid - just can’t bring myself to do it ! ).
I wondered if anyone ( Greygoose?) could advise on my most recent bloods. I take 20mcg T3 and was taking 75mcg T4. Felt a bit better for a while but now have even worse palpitations than I had before I started on T4 ( thrumming is the best way I can describe it) and have gone very dizzy with worse tinnitus and variable fatigue. Endo said to push levo back up to 100 which is what I was taking before I started T3 at the beginning of May. Tempted to stop everything and start again. I no longer know if the symptoms are from Hashis or side effects of synthetic T4/T3. I’ve also had lots of other blood tests and all are normal. Weak positive for antinuclear antibody but normal complement and immunoglobulin levels so considered insignificant.
NHS results
T4 12.8 range 10.8-25.5
T3 5.7 range 3.1-6.8
TSH 0.04
