Latest blood results help please

[dizzy1979]

Hi guys,

I have my latest results ( please excuse the scribbled mess )

I changed from ndt to levo and t3 6 weeks ago, I am taking 100mcg of t4 and was taking 16.8mcg of t3.

I take from these results that I need to increase my t3, but any advice welcome.

I am not feeling great, I am not sleeping well, gaining weight, and have a horrible itchy rash/bumps on my elbows and hips, I’ve had cold sores, and feeling generally run down and rubbish.

Why did you swap? It looks like the ndt was what you needed.

[dizzy1979]

It was approx 12 hours between last dose and testing. I am going to add and extra 12.5mcg of t3 and see how I get on.

[dizzy1979]

Thank a hun I will try that

5 mcg, 5 mcg, 2.5 mcg

Why do we have 5 mcg twice, Scrummy? You're not suggesting she does two days 5 and one day 2.5 alternately, are you?!?!?

[greygoose]

Except that she has 25 mcg tablets, so that would be two increases of 6.25 and 6.25. But, you're right, 12.5 in one go is too much.

I have increased by 1/4 tablet twice a day. So far I have slept better both nights. Fingers crossed this continues. X

[greygoose in reply to dizzy1979]

Yeah, but I meant two increase two weeks apart, not two increases in one day. You shouldn't increase by more than 1/4 tablet every two weeks.

[dizzy1979]

I actually feel fine....... I’d be reluctant to reduce the dose down whilst I’m sleeping

[dizzy1979]

Today is day 3, so not long at all, if I get any symptoms of over medicating I will def drop down a 1/4 x
