Seeking thoughts on Thyroid blood test

[MCDW]

Just got my Medichecks Thyroid blood test back.

Results are:

TSH: 0.3 (0.27 - 4.2)

Free T3: 3.7 (3.1 - 6.8)

FreeThyroxin: 20.2 (12 - 22)

I'm on Levothyroxin 100mcg daily.

Previously my TSH was considered too low (though I refused to reduce the dose) - but now considered in normal range my consitipation has got noticeably worse and I'm struggling to keep weight off.

Personally feel T3 should be higher as T4 to T3 conversion seems poor.

My GP clearly won't increase my dose - so I'm unsure quite what I should do.

When I last tested my vitamins were all reasonably good.

Advice gratefully received. Thank you.

And I should have added, my cholesterol has risen and I'm extremely reluctant to take statins.

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

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Presumably you have Hashimoto’s as you have psoriasis too

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

When were vitamin levels last tested

Please add most recent results

Are you on strictly gluten free and dairy free diet

[MCDW in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes - tested at 09.00 - fasting and 24 hours from previous Levothyroxine. Yes - have Hashimotos

Brand has been changed within last year - presumably for cost reasons. (Accord)

Vitamins were tested well over a year ago but take Vit D (+K2) 4000iu + zinc, selenium and magnesium citrate.

No - not a hope of going gluten and dairy free as travel widely and to parts of world you’d struggle to maintain such a diet.
