Can anyone comment on my test results, please?

[Nicinha19]

Hi everybody,

I would appreciate any comments and advice about my test.

I take Euthyrox 75mcg and I started with thybon 20mcg since the 14th of September

2021( 1/2 tbl 2x a day, morning and afternoon). Test was 2 days ago (25th), 8:30am, fasting, water only. Last Levo a day before(24th) at 5:35, as usual, and thybon 14:30.

My hair has improved, but my mind is foggy, my memory and thinking are weird, and I'm having a tense "movement" in my heart. Maybe my tsh is too low? I need lees t3? or I need more levo? I will show the result to my endo next Monday. English is not my language, I'm Brazilian and live in Amsterdam, then, sorry for any mistake. Thank you!!

Welcome to the forum

What a beautiful photo of a very gorgeous cat

With latest test did you take the whole 20mcg T3 at 14.30?

We usually advise splitting T3 the day before test (even if you don’t normally) …taking last 1/2 daily dose at roughly 8-12 hours before test

Do you have autoimmune thyroid disease (hashimoto’s) diagnosed by high thyroid antibodies

Have you had vitamin D, folate and B12 tested

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Hi SlowDragon, thanks for your message!!She is one of my three cats, she is gorgeous and Greek. Thank you!

I didn't take the whole 20mcg, I got 1/2 at 6:10 and the 2nd half 14:30, as usual ( the day before test).

I took antibodies test 3 years ago after being diagnosed with hypo. I asked, and the doctor said no hashimoto's. But I have that result somewhere, I will looking for it to post here, and maybe you can take a look! I take a lot of supplements for years, including D3, methyl folate and B12.

The last time I had B12 & vitamin D test, my GP said me to stop taking them because( for her) they were too high!!! I loved to know that! hahahaha. I'm gonna also looking for that one.

Suuuuper thank you, and hope to keep in touch!!

Good night!!

Tense moments in your heart might indicate you are taking too much thybon. T3

Hi playtime2,Thank you for your message and for opening my mind to this.

Maybe, could you give me an opinion about my last blood test result? I got worried with my TSH result so low ( 0.01).

[Nicinha19 in reply to playtime2]

… specially because I will talk to the doctor soon

[playtime2]

That is where my TSH level is. I have tried changing my dose over the years but my levels are always lower then they need to be. I have just learned about how fickly TSH is when being tested and there are a lot of "do this, don't do that" you should know before you have your TSH tested. Look it up. However my T3 and T4 levels are fine. So I don't pay much attention to TSH, although the next time I am tested I am going to do the complete routine needed to get an accurate test.

[Nicinha19 in reply to playtime2]

Do you think my ft3 and ft4 are okay?

* Ft3 - 5.98 ( 3.08 - 6.78)

* Ft4 - 14.67 ( 11.60 - 21.90)

Maybe I should take 10 mcg of t3 once a day instead of 10mcg twice a day? Just to try to feel better?

I am NOT a doctor. But from my experience it is important to describe how you feel when you are not feeling well. That will give people in this community a clue as to your dose amount. It is VERY difficult to figure out if you are hyper or hypo by the way you feel, but it can be done, or at least it can help you and others figure out what to do. Your T3 and T4 levels seem fine. Perhaps your T4 is a wee bit low but maybe it is because your T3 is a bit high. I just reduced my dose of T3 since I was having moslty Hyper feelings. I will also adjust the time I take my T4 and T3 so I don't have the peaks of these two happening at the same time. You will find typical symptons of being hyper and hypo on line. You can augment these symptons with your numbers and hopefully come up with a plan to change your dose. My hunch is,lower T3 and increase T4.
