hi all

just had results back from medichecks. I'd appreciate some advice. I'm just finished trial of 3 months on 75mcg t4 and 15mcg t3. Results on this dose

tsh 0.01 (0.35-4.94)

t3 5.2 (2.4-6)

t4 11 (8-19.1)

Started 125/10 6 weeks ago.

needed to do my vitamins so just did full thyroid too.

taking 1000 vitamin d,normally Thorne basic b but stopped this for tests last month and forgot to start.

CRP HS 0.44 mg/L ( < 3)

Ferritin 64 ug/L (30 - 150)

Folate - Serum 17.4 nmol/L (8.83 - 60.8)

Vitamin B12 - Active 116 pmol/L ( 25.1 - 165)

Vitamin D 99 nmol/L (50 - 200)

TSH X 0.02 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2)

Free T3 5.8 pmol/L ( 3.1 - 6.8)

Free Thyroxine 19.4 pmol/L (12 - 22)

Thyroglobulin Antibodies X >4000 kIU/L (0 - 115)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies X >600 kIU/L (0 - 34

Ferritin looks low? I'm not vegetarian and eat red meat.

I feel ok. But could feel better? Just had an appointment with neurology who want to run a number of other tests. Not sure what. Thinking hrt may be an option as bloods look pretty good.

thanks in advance for any advice

So this was results on 125mcg and 10mcg T3

However looking at previous posts, you haven’t been on same brand levothyroxine throughout the trial?

Results on this dose 

tsh 0.01 (0.35-4.94)

t3 5.2 (2.4-6)

t4 11 (8-19.1)

Suggest you wait and retest again in another 6-8 weeks

Do you split T3 day before test and last 5mcg dose T3 approx 8-12 hours before test

hi slowdragon

the second set of results are from being on 125/10 for about 6 weeks. The change in brand was only for about 10 days. I have had this changed now. Otherwise all the brands were the same. This is the only time I've ever had a different brand!

thanks SlowDragon. I'll have the bloods done by endocrinologist in about 6 weeks time then I have to decide which dose I prefer. Unfortunately he was not for a compromise. I had asked for 100/15 as I feel this would give me decent t3 and t4.
