Blood test result/ advice on meds

[kittyelen]

I was reduced to 15mg Carbimazole about 4 weeks ago and my blood test from the GP now says:

Serum TSH level 1.73 miu/L [0.3 - 5.5]

"normal"

They don't test further if normal, but I do have a form from endo so they will test more but I don't have an appointment with them until April 20th. So 6 weeks away to next check up.

If I am right, then I should really be lowing the dose now? I think I will call the secretary tomorrow. I am glad the TSH has gone normal so quickly, but I read on here before there is a risk it can go the other way? I just am really unsure about staying on 15mg until the endo appointment as by then surely the 1.73 will be way higher! Looking over my history my TSH has never been as high as 1.73 (when tested every 6M on lithium / Note now med free TSH used to always be around ) 0.92 ish )

(For ref Serum TSH level < 0.05 miu/L [0.3 - 5.5]

15 JAN test so from this to 6 MARCH it has gone to 1.73. That's rather quick isn't it?

I am just so annoyed the GP don't test the extras, would make sense if we knew more info now. Endo form does say T3 and T4 to be tested and I am to get that done a week before their appointment.

I was told I could go down to 10mg so sorted it Will see how things go on the next blood test hopefully just shows everything now getting settled
