Following my own error with the timing of my last set of bloods, earlier in the month, I redid them, with about 2 weeks in between. The results rolled in this morning.
The MonitorMyHealth results are as follows:
TSH - 0.3 (normal range 0.27 - 4.2 mU/L)
FT4 9.2 (normal range 12 - 22 pmol/L)
FT3 3.6 (normal range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L)
Prior to beginning dual therapy, I was on 150mcgr T4, with the following results :
TSH - 0.79 (normal range 0.27 - 4.2 mU/L)
FT4 16.5 (normal range 12 - 22 pmol/L)
FT3 3.52 (normal range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L)
They haven't shown any huge improvement, based on the correct timings (thank you again for pointing that out).
I am trying very hard to be very compliant on my 6-month T3 trial, and am already slightly non-compliant with my dosing and timing. My doses (100mcgr T4 + 40mcgr T3 a day), but I am splitting my T3 into three doses, as opposed to the prescribed 2 doses.
I am not due to see the Endo until late March, which will actually become April, as we are away on my current clinic date, so my intent is to trundle back to my GP and request the T4 increase back to at least 125mcgr, hoping that'll nudge up the FT4 again, and maybe even allow the T3 to be a little more effective.
The T3 readings are curious 40mcgr a day only lifting from 2.52 to 3.6. I sort of expected more, and probably still feeds into my belief I need a little bit more of both T4 and T3.
Next round, I'll go back to Medichecks for the full test + Vits.
Any comments, please? feel free to rubbish my theories. I'm still new to this in relative terms.
Thanks, as ever, my thyroid educators.
