I had some very helpful advice and info to my last post culminating in it being suggested that my Endo didn’t know what he was doing (and rightly so I think) so I d just requested and received a full blood test. I need help to understand it please.
Summary background:
Thyroid removed last august - benign tumour
Started on 100ml levo (Eutirox)
Started having night sweats and anxiety in Dec
TSH 0,74,
T4L 1,57.
Endo reduced my dose to 75mg because he said my symptoms suggested hyper
Next Results in jan (he didn’t test T3)
T4 libre suero. 1.68 ng/dl (0.78 - 1.80)
TSH. 4.53 μUI/ml (0.35 - 5.50)
He said this was fine
Now suffering joint pain, muscle aches and low energy / tiredness. So returned and asked for full blood test. These are results - my endo has now increased my dose to 88mg
T4 libre suero. 1.16 ng/dl (0.78 - 1.80)
T3. 1.85. pg/ml (2.0- 4.4)
TSH. 6.75. μUI/ml (0.35 - 5.50)
Ferritin. 151. ng/ml(15 - 150)
Folic acid 3.64 ng/ml (0.35 - 3.37)
B12. 317 pg/ml (221 - 911)
Vit D. 29.06. ng/ml (20 - 50)
Calcium. 8.5. (8.6 - 10)
Clearly I am under medicated but when I was on 100mg (during the first 3 months after surgery) I developed unpleasant side effects. Just started increased dose of 88mg.
