TSH results

[Starmen]

I have just received my NHS results requested by GP. I am also awaiting results from medichecks for full thyroid panel.

I followed all the advice from here before the early morning test yesterday .

TSH 0.06 Miu/L ( 0.34 5.44)

Free T4. 18.9pmol/L. ( 11 -5. 22-7)

I will post my medichecks results when they come through

I am concerned my GP will want to reduce my medication but I actually feel ok apart from Tinnitus at the moment

Absolutely no reason with your NHS results to reduce dose. Once on Levo TSH is not really relevant yet that's all doctors tend to look at and, of course, will say yours is suppressed so you must be overmedicated and need to reduce dose of Levo. Refuse stating that the thyroid hormones - T4 and T3 - are what shows our thyroid status and if FT3 is within range we are not overmedicated. See what your Medichecks results show and if FT3 is in range you are not overmedicated. If GP wont accept your Medichecks results then still refuse to reduce until your GP gets TSH, FT4 and FT3 all tested together.
