Recent Labs!!

[Dshadzz07]

So as some of you may know I’ve been messed about a lot with my thyroid medication and testing.

So late June went to hyper state due to over medication we assume. So stopped medication got retested mid-late July TSH was 0.04 still. So they told be again to stay off a month. So now my most recent labs after finally getting them to check my T4 and T3.

TSH: 14.2 (0.5-4)

FT4: 14.1 (11-22)

FT3: 4.9 (3-6)

So now finally the doctors have put me back on medication, starting at 50mg levo again. 6-8 week retest. Weirdly though they tested my TSH at hospital when I went august 20th it was 17.7 so has gone down despite no medication. Any reason?

My vitamins from a month ago.

Vitamin D: 39 (50-100)

Folate: 4.9 (4-17)

B12: 322 (130-800)

I’ve been taking me supplements religiously at the right times too. So annoyed but hoping when I get them retested soon that they are better.

How much levothyroxine were you taking before this temporary hashimoto’s flare?

You could be started back on higher dose than 50mcg

Or push to increase to 75mcg daily after 4-6 weeks on 50mcg

125mg was my dose when it happened, my t4 is actually worse than I put I read it wrong it’s 10.2 ffs. Doctor has suggest 50mg and prescribed it I’ll see how it goes and take it for 6 weeks but I know it’ll need upping.
