I’ve just done a Medichecks test
tsh 5.12 (0.27 - 4.2)
Free T3 4.1 (3.1 - 6.8)
Free thyroxine 18.6 (12 - 22)
Thyroglobulin antibodies 94.9 (0-115)
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies 16.6 (0-34)
This is after 7 weeks on 87.5mcg Levo only.
I’ve now received lio from nhs and want to start again.
some recent history….. sorry if too confusing.
My nhs Endo had said they’d prescribe lio again once my heart checks were ok . All was ok and Endo thought tight chest had been due to too high dose of Levo with t3.
I waited 6 months for Endo appointment after I was given all clear.
Finally had appointment in July and was re prescribed T3 and told to take 2 x 5mcg a day and reduce Levo from 87.5 mcg to 25 a day…… and do this all at once….she said I didn’t need a b/t.
Endo said they would do a prescription and if I had any lio left from last year start on them.
I had enough for about 6 weeks and started, wrongfully presuming I’d receive my prescription before running out.
I did a b/t and posted on here,
started on 5 mcg lio and 75 mcg Levo.
Stayed on this for 6 weeks then did bloods and increased lio 10 mcg day (2 doses) & stayed on 75 Levo.
Weeks later I was still waiting for Endo to do prescription so I checked with hospital who said they’d gone on annual leave for 3 weeks and hadn’t done it. A week later I ran out of lio.
so for 8 weeks I’ve been chasing the prescription and been off lio.
When I ran out I went back to taking 87.5 mcgs day of Levo which is what I’ve been on for the last 7 weeks.
I have now got the t3 and just did the above test before starting back on t3.
I’m not sure which doses of each from this b/t to take and would really appreciate some help please?
