Test results and meds-another try to get the information in a legible format.

[Coachgeorge]

I've been trying to post my history with no success. Here is another try:

8/10/17 T4- 1.75 (.8-1.8) TSH-Not tested T3 -2.4 (2.3-4.2) Meds 100 mcg levo

7/17/18 T4-1.59 (.8-1.8) TSH 1.98 (.4-4.5) T3- 2.8 (2.3-4.2) Meds 100 mcg levo

7/29/18 T4 not tested TSH-1.29 (.4-4.5) T3 Not tested Meds 100 mcg levo

11/6/18 T4-1.98 (.8-1.8) TSH-2.020 T3 Not tested Meds 100 mcg levo

1/31/19 T4-1.69 (.8-1.8) TSH-2.16 (.4-4.5) T3 Not tested Meds 100 mcg levo

5/20/19 T4-2.24 (.8-1.8) TSH-1.43 (.4-4.5) T3 Not tested Meds 100/6 days a week

6/10/19 T4 2.03 (.8-1.8) TSH 1.84 (.4-4.5) T3-2.6 (2.3-4.2) Meds 75 mcg levo

7/5/19 T4 2.39 (.8-1.8) TSH 2.070 (.4-4.5) T3-2.8(2.3-4.2) Meds 75 mcg levo

7/30/19 T4 1.32 (.8-1.8) TSH 4.49(.4-4.5) T3-3.2 (2.3-4.2) Meds 50 levo/5mcg T3

8/24/19 T4 1.19 (.8-1.8) TSH 4.84 (.4-4.5) T3-2.9 on 8/29/19 Meds 50 levo/5mcgT3

9/23/19 T4 1.7 (.8-1.8) TSH 1.29 (.4-4.5) T3 3.1 (2.3-4.2) Meds 75 levo/5mcg T3

I apologize for the confusion. I'm trying my best to get this right. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I need to add that I was on 100 mcg of levo with no problems (that I knew of) until November of 2018. I had other health problems, now I'm beginning to wonder if they were thyroid related.

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Were vitamins tested at any points before this year ?

It looks like on 100mcg levothyroxine early on you were either not on high enough dose or conversion was poor

FT3 was always low

You can convert each result into % through range using this good calculator

Can help show if FT4 and FT3 are similar % or out of balance

Low vitamins can upset results

I’ve posted so many times trying to get it legible so this last time I forgot that vitamins are all in upper range except ferritin. It’s 83 (18-204). I’ve felt like rubbish since being ill in January, mostly bed ridden. I’ve used the calculator but none of it makes sense with my results. The higher my T4 the worse I feel. My t3 isn’t high but wasn’t a problem in the past

[Angel_of_the_North in reply to Coachgeorge]

Makes a kind of sense. High T4 can prevent or at least lower conversion to T3, so you don't get enough of the active hormone and things get our of balance. I'd try increasing t3 and making sure that B12 and folate are optimal. Selenium might help. Were you taking B vitamins at time of last 2 tests?

[Coachgeorge in reply to Angel_of_the_North]

I’m taking both D and B12, both optimal. Folate is fine, too. I can’t function, spend my time in bed crying. I’ve wondered if I’m getting too much T4. Need husband’s assistance to just get to the bathroom. Don’t understand why I’m so anxious and weak. Thank you

Depends a bit on your age, but I just cried randomly and felt awful when my sex hormones were out of whack. Tried all the alternative remedies for 7 years but just got steadily worse, then got biohrt which works very well for me.
