please help have to write to doctor

[Chouchou1234]

in person I got the approval to carry on T3 30 but letter saying advise to reduce it as tsh is less than 0.01 .

So basically the gastro doctors are looking a that .

it’s so frustrating

Can someone help me how to word it that tsh is suppressed on T3 - it’s 0.01 before I started T3! That was on 100mcg t4 but T3 was 2.1 . Very stressed . Being in a toxic home does t help with stress today

i Just got gastro letter and my anxiety is ridiculous

Is the letter from the gastro consultant?

If so, I think I’d keep it really simple. (You aren’t over medicated—just looked at your last post).

I’d say, “My endocrinologist is content with my thyroid blood test results and does not consider me to be over-medicated. When a hypothyroid patient takes liothyronine, even in low amounts, it tends to suppress TSH. This does not mean the patient is over-medicated. My FT4 and FT3 results are within laboratory reference ranges and it is extremely unlikely my thyroid hormone replacement is causing my gastric issues.”

How about that?

that’s fantastic.

I had a hoo ham with the endocrinologist but never got the letter from him as I self increased my medication to 30 and my results were 5.2 t3.

When I saw the gastro doctor I have excellent relationship with him and told him I feel better on 30 and the result was 5.2

Gastro approved verbally to take 30 he said he would talk to the endocrinologist himself and for me to carry on 30 if I felt better.

In the letter though it says - I have been advised to reduce it as it is ‘within range and tsh is fully suppressed.

I did reduce t3 and it was back to 4.4 T3. (4 -6.8)

Thank you again
