Got my test after starting with NDT again

[olsson87]

just got my test result after starting with ndt again (thyriod-s)

TSH still is 99.9

T4 has doubled from 2 to 4

and T3 is 3.3

Why doesnt my TSH change?

Wow! What are the ranges? How much meds do you take? Do you not take any levo or lio? I’d be so sick with that tsh.

[olsson87 in reply to JAmanda]

no levo at all, I cant handle levo... This test is 2 weeks after starting and I started with half a tab then maybe a bit to fast and raised the dose to 0.75% after 4 days then another 4 days to a full tab.(I have done a full removal of my glands)

I do feel great...

The very high TSH may be an artefact of the test owing to human antibody interference. I would ask for a test by a different method.

Im swedish and couldnt really understand what you meant. could you describe this

[diogenes Remembering in reply to olsson87]

In humans, there can be in the blood, antibodies that may react with mouse, rabbit or sheep proteins, The TSH test you have had done is probably sensitive to one of these antibody proteins (usually mouse) and therefore is interfered with and gives a false high result. Other tests are not so sensitive so its important to get a TSH result by a different test.
