Would love some input on my results please
I started on Levo 5 weeks ago (50mg a day) after a slightly elevated TSH of 3.1 was detected by our IVF clinic, following a miscarriage.
These are my latest results from Medichecks, I also had the standard TSH and FT4 done at my GP, which came back almost exactly the same values as the Medichecks
My GP has just increased my Levo to 75mg based on the TSH and FT4 result
I have Addison’s disease and take daily hydrocortisone but have no other medical conditions.
I am always quite tired but have always put that down to the Addisons and been grateful that I am so well with it.
Only other symptoms are inability to lose weight despite eating no more than 1200-1500 calories a day and running 3-4 times a week plus lots (!!) of walking with hubby and our dogs at the weekends.
TSH 2.0 (0.27-4.2)
FT4 19.3 (12-22)
FT3 3.9 (3.1-6.8)
Folate 19.8 (>3.89)
Active B12 146 (37.5-188)
Vitamin D 60.9 (50-175)
Ferritin 65.3 (13-150)
Iron 17.64 (5.8-34.5)
In terms of supplements i’ve been taking:
A daily prenatal with 800mcg methyl folate for a good 18 months
195g ferrous sulphate a day for last 12 months, which doesn’t seem to have improved my ferritin at all from my Medichecks 12 months ago.
BetterYou vit D + K2 oral spray daily at 3000IU for 12 months which has actually resulted in my Vit D going down from 68 to 60.
All advice and comments very much appreciated.
