Latest blood test (thyroid)

[Suzanneharb]

Hi all,

On my last post, it looked like I might be overmedicated. I take 200 T4 and 20 T3 per day.

I reduced this 8 weeks ago a tiny bit, so that one day per week I take 150 T4 and 20 T3 (then 200/20 rest of the week). I feel it's made the necessary impact?

TSH: 0.005 as always!

FT3: 6.5 (3.1 - 6.8 R)

FT4: 22 (12-22R)

I did an iron test too, but apparently I have to re-do it ( medichecks) because the haem was damaged while I took the test. I suspect it's low though.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Those results look good. The most important thing is how do you FEEL. My understanding from others on here is that taking T3 will suppress your TSH . As long as FT4 and FT3 don’t go over range then you are not overmedicated.

Thank you! I’m not sure how I feel, lol! It’s been a stressful few months so I don’t feel great because of that

Stressful events can have a big effect on your thyroid, the HPT/HPA axis are all connected. Wait until the stressful events have passed and then see how you feel then
