I've been on 100mcg T4 and 18.75 mcg of T3 for the past 2 months and have just had the following results back from the NHS:
TSH 1.04 MU/L
FT4 12pmol/L
TPO antibodies 629 IU/mL ( 349 KU/L when I was diagnosed)
Unfortunately the consultant did not supply me with ranges in the letter and because my TSH wasn't suppressed they haven't run a FT3 test- which is super helpful.......
Here are my private labs from back in August on the same doses:
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE *0.218 mIU/L 0.27 - 4.20
FREE THYROXINE 16.700 pmol/L 12.00 - 22.00
FREE T3 5.55 pmol/L 3.10 - 6.80
So looks like not only has my T4 plummeted but my TSH has gone back up and my anti bodies have increased.
The most annoying symptom I'm getting at the moment is PVCs - which I used to get when I was under-medicated/before I was diagnosed.
So at this juncture do I need to increase T3 or T4 ? Or both ?
Cheers.
Yes will definitely get private bloods done - was just shocked that FT4 had dropped so much and that my antibodies had nearly doubled
