You have put the TSH range here, the FT4 range is 12-22. So is the FT4 level really 2.8 (12-22)?
If the FT4 is correct, plus the below range FT3 and high in range TSH, I would say that Metative is doing nothing for you. It does seem to work for some people but not everyone.
When did you change to Metavive? What were you taking before and was it giving you reasonable results and no symptoms of hypothyroidism?
I have been taking metavive for sometime now, I assumed that it was working because doctor kept telling me my tsh was too high when they tested me. I have had a lot of trouble with thyroxine as I kept getting migraines every brand that I tried which included the liquid one.
I took it the day before. I am very tired and cold. I wondered if the metavive isnt as strong in the winter because of the different feed the cows are on, probably clutching at straws I did wonder about long covid as well. Can you give me any advise other than taking Thyroxine?
Or try levothyroxine …..plus adding small doses of T3 if Ft3 remains low once on high enough dose levothyroxine, all four vitamins at OPTIMAL levels and may need gluten free/dairy free diet
I have a lot of intolerances so I am Gluten and dairy free already, I do think that I need to take more vitamins, the vitamin b complex is just a very recent addition which I didn`t take a couple of weeks before my bloodtest
I was originally on 200 mcg levothyroxine, they have gradually reduced my dose to 100 mcg, after me complaining it has been updated to 125 mcg. They have constantly refused to give me my results, so because the levo was giving me migraines and I was also fed up fighting them I decided to use metavive instead. This test was to give me a baseline to work from
I find this interesting, because, my Thyroid test results were not what I was expecting them to be; not absurdly high or anything like that, just looked higher than what I was expecting. Take this with a pinch of salt though - I haven't had an early morning thyroid finger prick test done in 2-3 years, so could be nothing. I hope they are not making errors though because I can't afford to test very often.
It has become apparent that we have had a laboratory error on a restricted number of samples over the last 36 hours. We are working hard to rectify the issue and work out which samples have been impacted. Rest assured we will repeat and re-report your results if your sample has been affected.
We will contact you in the next few days to let you know if your results have been affected or not. At which time we will report the correct result if necessary.
In the meantime please take NO ACTION on your results until you hear from us.
I got the same too, my FT3 and FT4 are below range with Tsh of 3.4 and I take T3. Thought it would explain why I felt lousy too till I got the second email. We must wait and see x
2 capsules of the bovine metavive is a v low dose. I take 2 in the morning (together with 1 porcine metavive ) and I take 2 in the evening. This is enough for me but it’s more than double what you are taking.
Like SD said you could try adding another metavive and see how you feel. If no change after a month I would add another one. Then see how you feel and test 6 weeks after your last dose change.
Good luck. Your results would suggest you must be feeling awful, lethargy , brain fog, cold etc. Hope you can improve your symptoms.
