Blood results

[Joad467]

Hi all, so receptionist phoned, doc will test for antibodies next blood test, she also said I am overmedicated, I will get print out of results Asap

Did you ask the receptionist where she got her medical degree? She has no place telling you you are over-medicated, I doubt she knows anything about it. I wouldn't take her word for it, if I were you.

Thanks Greygoose, I know, I cant wait to get print out, I dont feel overmedicated, have been getting tired more, itchy shins returned, any way thanks for your quick reply.

[greygoose in reply to Joad467]

Your doctor - and receptionist! - are probably only looking at the TSH, which is not a good way to evaluate thyroid hormone status. You possibly are under-medicated.

[Joad467 in reply to greygoose]

Yes I agree, I have to wait for next blood test to check antibodies and FT3 etc, am worried now that am having levo reduced.

[Joad467 in reply to Joad467]

Receptionist said your levo bei g reduced to 100

[greygoose in reply to Joad467]

Tell them you refuse the reduction unless your FT3 is tested, because that is the only way - THE only way - they can know if you're over-medicated.
