Latest test results

Hi all,

Thought I would post the last 3 sets of results and update and hopefully get some feedback or advice regarding how I should move forward from this point.

Plasma free T3 level 03/02/20 3.6pmol/L (3.5 - 6.5pmol/L) Normal

15/05/20 6.5pmol/L (3.5 - 6.5pmol/L) Normal

19/08/20 2.00pmol/L (3.5 - 6.5pmol/L) Abnormal

Serum free T4 level 26/05/20 10.6pmol/L (10.0 - 20.0) Normal

19/08/20 4.6pmol/L (10.0 - 20.0) Abnormal

02/10/20 16.0pmol/L (10.0 - 20.0) Normal

Serum TSH level 26/05/20 0.12mu/L (0.35 - 5.50mu/L) Abnormal

19/08/20 96mu/L (0.35 - 5.50mu/L) Abnormal

02/10/20 15mu/L (0.35 - 5.50mu/L) Abnormal

I would like to point out that the bloods done on 02/10/20 did NOT include T3 and this is just typical of the attitude from GPs and they've said that my T4 is normal and no action to be taken and my TSH is improving and blood to be re-done in December.

From mid July onwards I stopped taking my levothyroxine completely as they had me on a tiny dose of 25mcg so it wasn't doing anything at all so stopped taking. I did however start taking my levo again in September at a dosage of 75mcg. The reason I was stopped from taking my levo is because I had a bad reaction from trying to stop taking propranolol in April and they said I was "over replaced" and stopped my levo then put me back on levo at 25mcg.

Their attitude to all this is just typical and despite a letter being sent from endocrinologist advising that propranolol may be the cause of my blood results and high heart rate and anxiety and NOT my thyroid, they chose to ignore this, in fact they said that didn't receive the letter, which stated I was to be kept on a dosage of 125mcg and bloods re-tested at end of July.

I have a phone consultation with endo in 20/10/20 and hope I might get some joy as have been supplementing as mentioned in previous post and doing everything in my power to help myself. I'm just sick of being undertreated by brain-washed, mis-informed doctors. Fingers crossed the endo will actually do something.

Sorry for long rant, just really fed up and angry.

Sobs at the moment I would do nothing but continue with the levo. You started on 75mcg in September and the full effects will take 8 weeks or more to show which will tie in nicely with your endo consultation.
