I posted on here a week or 2 ago and got some brilliant advice as always ❤️. I'm now perplexed as to what my gp wants me to do now!!
Quick run down on T3( 20mg) for 15/16 weeks it's (lactose free teva).. the last bloods done on 12 Dec 2020,..( TSH 19.32), range.. (0.30--4.50..mU/L
T3..4.3),,Range...3.10..6.80..pmol/L
T4..2.6,) ,Range..11.00,,22.00pmol/L
Next bloods 1st Feb 2021....
TSH..14.5mU/L...range 0.30..4.50.
T3..3.pmol/L..range 3.10.. 6.80
T4..2.8.pmol/L..range 11.00.. 22.00pmol
On this test on the 1st Feb the gp contacted an endo who suggested introducing T4 at 50mg in a combo of T3, T4,.. I only took 25mg T4 as I did not want to introduce a large amount, I've never done good on T4 at all and 12 days in to the T4 and I felt awful bedridden as before hyper symptoms not being able to get up without my heart beating out of my chest which in turn made me feel dizzy and sick, I posted my concerns on here, my intention was to just increase the T3 from 20 to 25g, I am going up slowly so my body can get use to the medication as I've found I go hyper when taking to large of an amount, I discontinued the T4 and continued on 20mg, I'm feeling a bit better as the T4 is leaving my system, I spoke to a gp yesterday as I had results back from a scan which has shown a gal stone but nothing to bother about according to the gp, I explained about the T4 and that I had Again discontinued it as I can not stomach it, he agreed and encouraged me to continue on T3 but increase it by 5mg to 25mg, and he would prescribed me 5mg T3 teva tablets, honestly I no they don't do 5mg teva lactose free tablets, but he insisted, OK upshot, got a phone call today from reception to say.... "teva do not do 5mg lactose free medication,, YOU DON'T SAY!!!! 😠 so doctor has prescribed you 10mg, you should take one of these EVERY OTHER DAY... what!!! 🤔🤔🤔 I've been splitting the T3 in to 10mg one at 7am the other I've changed from 4pm to 8 pm as I think slowdragon recommended taking the last dose later on, but what is he thinking saying ever other day at 10mg, I'm trying to increase my T3 to get to a desierd amount 50mg/60mg and to try to lower my TSH, which the increase of 20mg seems to have done going from 19.32 to 14.5,but T3 has lowerd from 4.3 to 3.???.. I've to pick the medication up on Monday so I will read the instructions on the bottle, I'm sure these instructions are wrong🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thanks everyone for any replys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
