Bamboozled

[Roulette26]

Dear all, I’m so grateful for all the help and information you’ve given me, I don’t feel alone in my battle with the Endo. Unfortunately my poor brain thinks it’s got a handle on all the info and then immediately forgets!

My results are still all over the place after 2 years with the Endo. His main focus appears to be T4! Back in September I was feeling pretty good, apart from very restless sleep.

TSH 2.26 0.27—4.2

T3 4.07 3.1—6.8

T4 20.8. 12——22

January

TSH 4.34

T3 3.93

T4. 19.5

April

TSH 3.53

T3 4.64

T4 20

All bloods taken as required, same ranges for all. Improved vitD, ferritin still high, although I believe up to 300 is acceptable in post menopausal women. My T3/T4 conversion has increased to 46% .

I read that the advice from the RMOC, NICE and British thyroid Foundation is to keep TSH at 2 or under. Is that the case? The reason I ask is because I have a zoom meeting next week and would like to be sure of my facts. Since dropping from 125 levo to 100/125, which was after bloods in September, I’ve got hair loss, psoriasis (this developed when thyroid treatment started), freezing hands and feet, eye issues, and initially was virtually deaf because of ear wax!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi Roulette26 . if you look at my reply to this post : ( 4th reply down ) healthunlocked.com/thyroidu... You will find 4 or 5 references suggesting GP's keep tsh below about 2

That’s just what I was looking for, I think I read that when you first published it then lost the reference!Many thanks for replying and sharing your knowledge.
