Blood test help

[Tradoc]

So I ran out of T3 ,due to finances, 2 weeks ago. Was at my own gp on Friday and got my bloods back today.

Tsh up to 10.35 and T4 16:45.

Still on 75mcg of levo .I have got some T3. Do I just start over again. My bloods last year on just levo were fluctuating the same way

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Are you still on 2 x 5mcg T3

Perhaps start on 5mcg for 2-5 days…..before increasing

[Tradoc in reply to SlowDragon]

No endo put me down to 5mcg a day last time I saw him

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Tradoc]

TSH 0.29 (0.29-4.2)

FREE T3 5.27 (3.1-6.8)

FREE THYROXINE 15 (12-22)

After these results ?How much levothyroxine - 75mcg ?

FT4: 15 pmol/l (Range 12 - 22) only 30.00% through range

FT3: 5.27 pmol/l (Range 3.1 - 6.8) 58.65%

[Tradoc in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes after these I was still on 75mcg levo and 5mcg T3

[Tradoc in reply to Tradoc]

Shouldn't he have done that ?

I think you need to raise your Levo to 100mcg, if you can tolerate it.

[Tradoc in reply to humanbean]

With my 1x5mcg T3?

[humanbean in reply to Tradoc]

Yes.
