One year on!

[Maggiemcq]

Hi, some of you kindly responded to my post last year about my results. I’ve just been tested again and wondered if someone would comment on my latest results tsh .03 and ft4 16.9. Last year was .07 and 19.1. Dr has said no need to Change prescription? Thank you Maggie

We need lab ranges please, they vary from lab to lab so we always need ranges when interpreting results.

Is your dose the same as last year?

Is the lab range the same as last year?

Did you have this test done under the same conditions as the previous test, ie

* early morning blood draw, no later than 9am

* did you fast overnight and only have water to drink - delaying breakfast until after the test

* did you leave off Levo for 24 hours.

Hi, thank you for your response- I will have to phone dr to get the lab ranges, I don’t have a copy of the results. I can’t remember what time etc it was last year but this test done 4.30 in the afternoon, non fast and last Levo was the previous night. I’m on 125 and have been for ages. Thx

How are you feeling?

[Maggiemcq in reply to Nanaedake]

Sorry for delay - system wouldn’t let me post anything grr! I’m feeling tired a lot, very emotional and my joints ache!

[Nanaedake in reply to Maggiemcq]

Hopefully you can now post your results with lab ranges and we can help. Have you had vitamin levels tested? Joint ache might be low vitamin D and tiredness could be low B12 or low iron levels.

Hi thx for your response- the ranges are tsh (.55 to 4.78) I’m .3 and t4 is (11.5 to 22.7) I’m 16.9. I’ve not had vitamin levels done but blood count is fine. Thank you

Imperative now to get vitamin levels tested.
