TSH 0.01

[Nicci]

Hi- just need advice - my Se thyroid peroxidase was 186 outside normal range of 0-34 iu/ml. T3 was fine but TSH 0.01

I feel fine but just wondering about my Se result? Any advice? I dont want them to adjust my meds!

Thanks

Looking at previous posts you are on levothyroxine plus T3

TSH is almost always suppressed when taking T3

As long as Ft4 and Ft3 are within range you aren’t over medicated

Essential to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 annually

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

As per previous post

Oh yes! i had completely forgot i had posted that! the GP has requested for new blood test but i'm a bit hesitant as i don't want them to change my dose as i feel fine! just wanted a little of back up info to support this if and when need to discuss with GP! Thank you for your reply.

Is T3 prescribed via endocrinologist?

If so GP shouldn’t meddle with doses all

GP should not alter T3 prescription - should refer to endocrinologist
