Blood test results opinions

[dawnuk]

Got my letter through with latest blood results. How do they look. I think ranges are close to t3 (2.0-7.0) ft3 I think it’s (10-24.5) Tsh (0.3-5.0)

Can't interpret the blood results without ref ranges .... but congratulations on getting a lio trial

Hopefully you will see a real difference. Start low and slow on lio - get a pill cutter or sharp craft knife/scalpel and start on 1/4 tablet a day for the first week, then build up adding another 1/4 of a tablet a week until you are on a whole tablet. If your free T4 is less than 2/3 through range, I'd say there is no need to reduce levo while building up lio.

Good luck x

Edited to what I think ranges are going by previous tests

You can't assume range is same

Typical range is 3.1 to 6.8

Surely hospital range stays the same each time ? I haven’t ever heard that they keep changing their ranges

Email and ask for ranges

They do change from time to time
