Advice Re. Test Results Please?

[dashi2208]

Hello, my latest results are as follows: TSH 0.23 ( 0.35-4.94) FT4 11.3 (9.01-19.05) FT3 3.9 ( 2,63-5.7) I'm taking 75mg of Levothyroxine and 12.5 ug Liothyronine.

I'm suffering with night sweats every night . . for about 6 months. I've had quite a broad spectrum of blood tests . . Testosterone and vitamins etc, all of which were normal. Any thoughts welcome .

Thanks in advance

Well, normal just means that they are within the reference range. If you post the results, with their reference ranges, that would give us a better idea so that we can comment.

Hi, I didn't realise that a year had passed since last, more comprehensive vitamin tests. I'll ask for another set. For the moment I'd like some advice specific to Thyroid if possible. Thanks

I'm taking 75mg of Levothyroxine and 12.5 ug Liothyronine.

TSH: 0.23 (0.35-4)

FT4:11.3 (9.01-19.5)

FT3: 3.9 (2.63-5.7)

Just so that we are clear that these results are accurate which will mean our comments are appropriate, when did you take your last doses of thyroid meds before the test. Levo should be 24 hours before test. Liothyronine should be split the day before into 2 doses (or 3 if the total amount allows) and the last dose 8-12 hours before the test.

Also, do you take any supplement containing biotin (typically a B Complex, hair/nail supplement or stand alone biotin supplement) and if so did you leave it for for 3-7 days before the test?

You need B12, folate, ferritin and Vitamin D tested at least once year

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Low B12 frequently causes night sweats
