Feeling very hot with dose that’s been ok for a while

[Gcart]

As above for a week . No change in dose 75 Levo with 10 Lio .

Dropped dose for 1 day and took 50 Levo and 5 lio next day .

Already I am cooler which is better .

As I have no thyroid I didn’t expect these changes , probably had them before but not so bad .

Any advice please as don’t think such a low dose over the two days is good in the long run .

Please help

What is your normal dose of thyroid meds?

[Gcart in reply to waveylines]

75 Levo. And 10 lio

Thanks for answering . Not a big dose so I am puzzled

[waveylines in reply to Gcart]

Yes that is not a full replacement dose which is roughly 200mcg. 10mcg of liothyronine is roughly 3-4 x that of levo so roughly equates to 105-115mcg of levo.

I know you say you felt hot but did you take your temperature? A wise thyroid doc once told me feeling hot doesnt mean you are -you can have a low temp so take your temperature never go on feelings.

It could be that you are under medicated. What are your blood test results?

[Gcart in reply to waveylines]

Not sure if post went so again :

T4. 16.3. 12-22

T3 4.3. 3.1-6.8

4th November 2019

All conditions as advised on this forum.

For blood draw.

Thanks.

Oh I didnt realise you had been poorly. Poor you. Hope you are feeling better?

Are the results prior to your infection?

If so I am not a medic but you are undermedicated and if it were me I would increase. Question: are you on the Liothyronine as well because of poor conversion? If not levothyroxine increase may increase both scores & if it were me Id do that first.

After antibiotics a good probiotic to restore the gut balance is always wise -I agree with slowdragon.

[Gcart in reply to waveylines]

Thanks ok. I will try increase of t4

and as advice here retest in 6/8 weeks

🤞

Can see from recent post you have been laid up with chest infection. Did you have antibiotics?

Gut may need to resettle....a good probiotic perhaps

[Gcart in reply to SlowDragon]

Thanks. You could be right. Probiotic is a good idea .

Just confused at present.

Thanks for responding SD

Hello Gcart I have hypothyroidism possibility of Hashimotos doctor still examining blood tests and results and still have my thyroid. I get hot flushes heat intolerance when taking Levothyroxine 100mcg not sure if related but could be. I find I can go hypo or hyper.

[Gcart in reply to Den1987UK]

Yes so confusing. . I had no testing prior to TT for cancer .Never know if antibodies were involved!

Thought things would be fairly stable. Less fluctuations that Hashi causes some people on here ! but maybe it was the chest infection and cat bite infection I suffered caused problems:
