Hi everyone I have just had my latest blood test results through the TSH was 0.16 range 0.27-4.2. Ft3 5.8. Range 3.1-6.8. And ft4 19.1. Range 12-22 so basically they are saying I'm slightly overactive. I have only been on 2.5mg for a month and had my last test a month ago where my TSH was 0.56. T3 was 4.6 and t4 14.3 same ranges as above. Around 2 weeks ago gp done a TSH test which was 0.51 so my TSH has dropped that much in 2 weeks. So am I best going back up to 5mg daily?

it does actually, gives me a picture of your symptoms. No harm was ment in asking

Just I’ve been through one hell of a journey.

Male sometimes differ from female in relation to diet etc.

Dandare11 well actually i wasn't feeling to bad till I saw those results heart rate has been up though when moving around but in a lot of ways have felt better but my Ferritin is still quite low at 30 I was doing so well as well I'm just hoping this is not going to keep climbing and that my endo was right and I have no chance of remmision.

SlowDragon I am I have been take the Thorne b that you recommend and have upped my vitamin d and have been taking an iron tablet every couple of days along with trying to eat iron rich foods the only thing I have done differently is not eating Brazil nuts because my pottasium level was almost at top of range which might just be a bum needle draw I'm hoping or blood waiting around.

Hey there again :

Do you feel any better for having dropped the AT drug to 2.5 mcg daily ?

It's a shame the antibodies aren't rerun just to give a different point of reference.

pennyannie I actually had a few good days where I felt al.ozt normal again like me again I presume that is because my t4 raised, I have also over months been dry, dry eyes, dry mouth, dry hair ect seem to be less dry now. I've decided to up my Carbimazole slightly. It doesn't help being menapausel at the same time because I don't know if that is contributing.

OK - I'm sure if I've mentioned it before but please make sure anything you use for your eyes is Preservative Free.
