[Soprano67]

Please can someone help with my blood results . I take 100mg of levothyroxine, 20mg liothyronine split into twice a day I only take the extra 19mg when I need it. I am so exhausted have vertigo dizzy migraines and shaky on it. Going by my results I should be feeling great. I also take Igennus super B complex which has helped my folate and I stopped it five days before test. I bought Igennus collagen powder too.

B12 839 Range 197-771

Folate: 11.8 Range 3.9- 26.8

TSH 0.02 Range 0.27-4.2

T3 : 5.8 Range 3.1-6.8

T4: 21.7 range 12-22

Haemoglobin 134 Range 120-150

Many thanks for everyone’s advice I really appreciate it. 😊

20mg liothyronine split into twice a day I only take the extra 19mg when I need it.

Do you mean you only take extra 10mcg T3 now and then ?

It doesn’t work like that......you need to take exactly same dose T3 every day

You might find splitting into 3 doses is better

10mcg at 7am and 5mcg at 3pm and 5mcg at 11pm

Was this test done as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test. Last 5mcg dose T3 8-12 hours before test?

If yes.....

Ft4 is high in range

Perhaps consider very slight reduction in levothyroxine. Perhaps reduce by 25mcg one a week. So 100mcg x 6 and 75mcg x 2

When was vitamin D last tested

Hi Slow Dragon hope you are keeping well. Sorry I meant 10mg twice a day - my consultant told me over a year ago to take the extra ten if I felt I needed it. I have to had vitamin d tested since October 2019 as I can’t see my consultant due to the restrictions in Ireland.

I thought maybe my ferritin could be better I haven’t spoken to my GP for iron as receptionists said results were satisfactory. I just feel so dizzy and shaky on it.

Thank you so much for your advice I would be lost without this forum.😊
