How are my latest results?

[Kh1979]

Hi everyone, Would you be kind enough to let me know what you think about my latest results pls? Should my T4 be a tad higher? Currently on 100 Levo have been for 6 months +

I had requested my T3 be tested but it wasn’t put on the form!! I’ve sent a stroppy email to the gp and have a phone appointment in 2 weeks.

Test was fasting, 8.30am, no Levo for 24 hours.

Thank you

Your FT4 is 50% through it's range. Most Hypo patients tend to feel best when FT4 and FT3 are in the upper part of their ranges and fairly well balanced; however it is a very individual thing where we feel optimally medicated so how do you actually feel?

Even if FT3 is requested by the GP it's the lab who tend to make the decision as to whether or not they carry out this test, and more often than not if TSH and FT4 are in range then FT3 is not deemed necessary.
