[Harlech]

Hi. Just received my blood test results from blue horizon. 3/4/2021

Magnesium. 0.94. (0.66 099). mmoI/L

Cortisol. 435.0. 6am. 10am. (113-456) nmI/L

TSH. 2.13. (0.27-4.20) mIU/L

FT4. 17.4. (12.0-22. 0). pmoI/L

Ft3. 4.61. (3.1-6.8). pmoI/L

My previous results 5/1/2021 from Blue horizon

TSH. 4.38, / ft4. 15.7, / ft3. 4. 83.

I was taking teva 2x25mg but due to my prescription being delivered I received mercury pharma so been taking them same dosage 2x25mg.

Advice appreciated, do I stay with mercury for another 2 months & have bloods done or try to get an increase in levothyroxine.

Also the cortisol is 435.0

Cortisol 5/1/2021. 490.0

Looking at previous posts vitamin D and folate were low and you are working on improving these

Did you remember to stop vitamin B complex a week before blood test?

Your Ft4 and Ft3 are creeping slowly up

Do you have any more energy?

[Harlech in reply to SlowDragon]

Thank you for your reply, yes ref. B complex still taking vit d, & some folate. Ft4 as increased ft3 as gone down a little

Jan. it was 4.83. now 4.61

Energy not much difference, I am not suffering with my eyes like I was 🤞 also the leg cramps less severe, but the body coldness not improved.

Are you lactose or dairy intolerant, or suspect you might be?

Wondering why you were on Teva previously?

Teva is lactose free, but Teva does upset many people

But some, usually lactose intolerant, patients find it the best option

[Harlech in reply to SlowDragon]

SlowDragon sorry i missed 1 of your replies as for lactose or dairy I have no issues that I am aware of. For 6 months starting levo it was a mix of teva & mercury until March 2020 then it was teva until the January this year.

Have you noticed any improvements/changes with Mercury Pharma brand

[Harlech in reply to SlowDragon]

The 1 thing i have noticed at the moment, this maybe purely coincidential, when on teva I started a cough & clear mucus in my throat, though out last year I had 6 prescriptions of antibiotics due to the above issue.

The coughing & mucus was at times bad, but I didn't feel ill. ( think dr's were concerned ref. covid)

In the last couple of weeks the mucus & cough were I felt I was choking, seems to be better. 🤞

So I stay with mercury and see how things ago over the month.
