[Levo50]

My GP and new Endo have been increasing my Levo from 50 to 62.5 to 75 to 100

My TSH at the start was 3 then 2 then more recently 0.1 (range 0.2 - 6.0)

Is thus safe?

I’ve also had cortisol and this has come back fine

Liver AST was elevated this is now fine

I’m rather scatty - negative, unable to think clearly and rather overwhelmed (however I have returned to a demanding role with challenges after 14 months furlough, plus I am at a new location temporarily with a 100 and 1 IT issues), also developed a torso Ecsma type rash which has now cleared with cream(s).

I’ve just ordered a repeat medichecks thyroid blood test - I thought it wise!

I’m speaking to Endo a week Friday

Do I stick on 100 Levo or cut back slightly or wait to see what Endo says and bloods reveal?

Had anyone experienced similar ?

Thank you in advance for any knowledgable advice 😅

It depends what your thyroid hormone levels are - TSH is a pituitary hormone, and just testing that on its own tells you very little. If your FT4 and FT3 are in-range, then yes, it's safe. No-one has seen my TSH for years! lol

Thank you greygoose - I’m pleased I have sent for a private test to get these results 👍

Yes, it's absolutely essential to have them.
