Latest test results after Levo increase

[Kazzyloulou]

Hello all. I'm very excited to post my latest test results, this was after an increase from 50mcg to 75 mcg. I'm not sure though that there's been much improvement? Although i do feel a bit better in myself but it could be the increase in Folate having an effect. TSH 2.05 (0.35 - 4.94)FT3 4.0 (2.4 - 6.0) FT4 14.2 (9.0 - 19.1). All advice re testing times etc followed. Please let me know your thoughts? Many thanks in advance. xx

looking at previous post

You only increased dose to 75mcg daily 4 weeks ago ?

Results suggest you are ready for next increase in levothyroxine up to 87.5mcg daily

Retest in 6-8 weeks

There was a test a few weeks ago but I had been on the 75 for 4 weeks, so it has been 8 weeks ish. Sorry that last post was a bit confusing. Thank you, as always, for your help.

So if it’s been 8 weeks, push GP to increase dose levothyroxine

I will increase tomorrow to 87.5. Doc is supportive since I lost my sh1t with them. 😆. Thank you. 🌼

Is that what I need to do ... ? Going to try that one. 😂

Yes, I recommend it. I told them that I'd become suicidal and I'm fed up with them telling me that there is nothing wrong with me....and they need to give me a chance to be well. I could barely get out of bed and was just crippled with anxiety. I also banged on about the Thyroid UK charity and I was getting support and guidance from them and will do what they advise. Plus I told them I was seeking help from a functional doctor - I haven't seen one but i watch a lot of stuff from them. I said to the doctor 'do you want me to lose everything? I can't work which means i can't pay my bills, and if i can't do that i will lose my home and become homeless? Do you think that is fair?' Finding this health board has literally been life saving and life changing for me and I'm beyond grateful.
