TSH Fluctuation?

[crimsonmag]

I had a private blood test done in November and and my TSH was very low but so was my iron. I was advised by Medichecks to cut down on Levo (I but his privately) which I did. I have Hashimoto's and can't get the doctor's to understand that I need help with this. I had a NHS blood test done last week and my TSH had shot up to 6.7. I think they may treat me now but should it have gone up so much, so quickly?

Should your TSH have shot up so quickly? That depends on a lot of things, and you haven't given us any details. We need the numbers: results, ranges and doses. Then, we might be able to see more clearly.

Actually these were done in September - my mother is very ill and I'm not thinking straight!

New TSH is 6.7

OK, but you still don't tell me how much levo you were taking, and by how much you reduced.

However, looks like you have Hashi's, so the TSH can jump around all the time.
