help please Medichecks results tsh shot up

[Timetraveler67]

my Dr would not except Medichecks result but reluctantly agreed to test at the surgery as 6 weeks ago my tsh was around 1. I feel wiped out and now waiting to get gp blood tests then wait for results to be able to go up in dose. I was doing fine on 87.5 taking 100/75 on alternate days. I was going to increase on my own back up to 100 each day but thought it best to keep right with the Drs. I know my t3 is low as well I feel a mess as I’m also battling taking blood thinners for AF. And because I had side effects I had to stop them so I’m waiting on a new prescription for a different drug there try me on. Any advice please thank you x

These are the results from Medichecks?

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

No ferritin result?

Was test done early morning and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Which brand of levothyroxine are you currently taking

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

thank you slowdragon my ferritin was 53 is that ok? I take magnesium, vit D&K2 I was taking thorn basic B but stopped a month ago because I knew it can effect results. I’m on MP and always get the same brand. Yes the test was early morning before my levo. I’ve had countless antibiotics the last few months due to a failed root canal and had a terrible infection. I feel so very ill the fatigue is crippling, headaches with hip pain also swollen legs. Please is there anything I can do until I get the new results from my dr as I feel so unwell. Thanks again for replying to me

are you still taking antibiotics?

They can reduce absorption of thyroid hormones

Once you stop antibiotics…..taking a probiotic to repopulate your gut bacteria may help

Meanwhile working on improving ferritin by increasing iron rich foods in your diet
