Latest results after T3

5 Replies

Could I please have an opinion on my latest results. I have been taking thybon henning T3 for the last 3 months at 5mcg morning and 5mcg mid afternoon. I also am taking 75mg of levo in the morning. My results from October before starting T3 are:

TSH 5.01 (0.27-4.20) (Blue-horizon)

T4 15.6 (12.0-22.0)

T3 4.00 (3.1-6.8)

Jan 2021 (NHS ranges)

TSH 0.035 (0.38-5.33)

T4 11 (7.9-14.4)

T3 5.6 (3.8-6.0)

I have been feeling better in that I am not so exhausted and brain fog has lifted a lot. Joint pains have not improved. I do have more energy. I have read on the forum about the TSH being suppressed whilst taking T3 due to the thyroid being redundant as such, just concerned about the reading of 0.035. Is this to be expected. I do seem to have a feeling of not palpitations as such but a racing adrenaline feeling. I feel that I need to be busy.would someone be able to give me the percentages through the ranges for me on T3 /T4 I can’t seem to find the calculator on here.Thankyou in advance.

Do you always get same brand of levothyroxine?

Which brand?

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at GOOD levels before starting on T3

You were very under medicated on just 75mcg levothyroxine

Why did endocrinologist not try dose increase in levothyroxine first?

TSH is almost always suppressed when taking T3

Thanks for your reply. I always have North Star levo. I take Vit D better you before T3 it was 104 (50-175). I stopped igennus vit b due to B12 going over range at 609 (145-569) but my folate still needs to go up it is 18.00 (8.83-60.8) is there a good folate supplement I can buy?Ferritin 138(13-150)I took the gene test and it came back as DIO2 so a conversion problem. I assumed this was why in 5 years my T3 hadn’t gone above 3.7-4 (3.1-6.8)

I have a telephone appointment on Wednesday with the Endo who came highly recommended by lovely Mcpammy. I imagine he isn’t going to change any of the dosage as my T3 result seems ok. I think he may have tried this first because in the passed I tried upping the levo and didn’t feel well at all. It was 100/75 alternate days. Heart was racing and felt dreadful.

Northstar 25mcg is Teva

Northstar 50mcg and 100mcg are Accord

Are you sure you don’t have any issues with Teva

On just levothyroxine

Ft4 39% through range

Ft3 24% through range

Shows reasonable conversion, but woefully under medicated

Now on 75mcg and 2 x 5mcg T3

Ft4 47% through range

Ft3 82% through range
