Just received my Medichecks resuts and am a bit stumped so looking for advice before I fly a copy of to my GP. I knew am due a dose increase before the results due to a myriad of symptoms and increased nausea, but I don't understand why my T4 has dropped and my T3 increased. Is this a simple case of under medication or could there be an underlying cause? Obviously I undertook the tests in the same way (fasting, early in morning etc)

Thank you for responding. I'm supplementing Vit D, but I'm going to do a private test for serum B12 as the last NHS test was very low, but not 'deficient'. I don't follow a rigorously strict gluten free diet, as I fail hete and there, but on the whole I eat very healthy. Are the squiffy results a simple case of another dose increase do you think?
