Can you please add the reference ranges for these tests, as ranges vary from lab to lab we need the ranges that come with your results to be able to interpret them.
Also, when did you take last dose of Levo before the test (should be 24 hours before) and do you take a B Complex or biotin or any supplement containing biotin (B7) and if so did you leave it off for 3-7 days before the test?
Vitamin D calcaciferol 800 Units New endo says he thinks it’s absorption which is affected by the Vit D and has been taken off omeprozole as a pump inhibitor med
Been on omeporazole for a number of years as I’ve also got diverticula disease and get acid reflux which is awful when it starts. Endo said to change it so on femodotin I think it’s called instead of omeporazole.
Your results are tending to indicate hyperthyroidism. Ask your doctor to check your TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAb) to see if they are high. These high thyroid hormone levels could cause AF.
I wrongly assumed it was a first time post, apologies. The numbers suggest too much hormone but as it is due to taking levothyroxine there is no need for a TRAb test. It would make sense to lower the levothyroxine dose. Whether some liothyronine in needed would depend on symptoms, it would be useful to have a list of current symptoms.
I think Thyroid2020 is getting poor service from the endocrinologist, she shouldn’t have surgery put off like this. I wonder if minor excursions in the thyroid blood test results are being used as an excuse to delay.
Yes bloods done pre 9am levothyroxine dose taken 24 hours prior to bloods done.Have been on a variety of levothyroxine meds- plain bottle no brand given by pharmacist (buy in bulk so no labels needed as to branding etc)
Then went to another brand where different dosage the strips in the boxes are different colours -orange, green, pink
Was on teva but having read some of the comments on here got them changed to now the ones with different coloured strips depending on dose 100,50,25mcg
Hot had ferattin or B12 tested that I know of. I will get my gp to test those and see what they come back as was tested for coeliac a few years ago and that was ok.
Endo thinks I’m not absorbing the colcaciferol (medical vitamin d) my gp says it is. Endo asked for that to be changed but gp pharmacist says can’t as no other vitamin d they can replace it with.
Have none alcoholic fatty liver disease - found out at a ultrasound scan I had couple of years ago and gp said nothing needs to be done. It is worrying as have read a lot about uncontrolled thyroid /endocrine issues that can affect lots of body tissues and organs.
Endo asked for that to be changed but gp pharmacist says can’t as no other vitamin d they can replace it with.
Just buy your own. Better You vitamin D mouth spray is good as is absorbed in mouth….avoids poor gut function. NHS won’t pay for it deemed “too expensive “
Conclusions: This current national wide cohort study suggests that PPI use was associated with an increased risk of fatty liver disease compared with non-use of PPIs. Clinicians should consider fatty liver as a potential risk when prescribing PPI.
