The results you have posted are for a full blood count. Do you have your thyroid results? You can post them in a reply by clicking the image icon bottom right then uploading them.

Did you take your Levo that day after or before the test?

l didn’t take Levothyroxine on the day of the blood test

We cant see your thyroid results. Ask GP receptionist for a priinted copy of your thyroid results and post them here.

OK so that TSH is high. Not sure if it is within range or above range as you haven't given the range. Next time get them to print the results out.

It's good that you have been given an increase however small.

Have you asked them for the vitamin tests yet?

The full blood count showed that I was taking too much of the thyroid medication and now I have been asked to take this after the blood test in March

Good

A full blood count has nothing to do with our thyroid levels. Suggest you go back to GP surgery and get your other results.

How much were you asked to take of the Levothyroxine? Is that more or less than you er taking before?

[Annaadam12 in reply to Jaydee1507]

it’s much more 50mcg on a Monday and 75 mcg Tuesday and carry on talking it following the same pattern everyday

Can you type out the blood results. We also need the lab ranges (numbers in brackets after your result number) as they vary from lab to lab.

Are they the only results you have?

For thyroid test results you’ll need TSH, FT4, possibly FT3 if really lucky!

[Annaadam12 in reply to Jazzw]

Thats the only one l have

Only thyroid function (TSH, FT4 & FT3) can tell you if you are on the right replacement levels. Could you be missing a page of print out? Your doctor knows FBC does not give information regarding replacement.  If they are telling you they are using FBC results to determine it you are over replaced they are either not medically qualified or lying to you.
