So I posted not that long ago but didn’t get much help. I did have my other vitamin results in this post.
currently all my Levo dosage is the same 200mcg and alternating with 212mcg the next day.
I’m getting a lot of heart palps and keep going dizzy. I thought it was low iron, but my levels seem the same. I still can’t get a t4 blood result and my endo did request but for nearly a year the labs won’t do t4.
TSH 0.42 miU/L range 0.38 - 5.50.
Free T3 range pmol/L 3.5-6.5
Do these seem ok, I know t4 would give a better picture but I can’t get it.
PROFILE
Iron 17 umol/L range 9-30
transferrin 2.40 gl range 2.5-3.8
TIBC 60 range 45-81
transferrin saturation 28% 15-50
ferritin 274 range 10-291
free t3 5.9 range 3.5-6.5
calcium 2.27
Adjusted calcium 2.19 range 2.2-2.8
globulin 30 range 18-32
serum total protein 74 range 57-76
albumin 44 range 35-50
ALP 64 range 30-130
phosphate 1.2 range 0.8-1.5
calcium was tested as suspected low? I’m
I? Does not seem so?
The only other thing I can think of is a have peppermint and liquorice tea daily, could this cause the palps and dizzy spells? I’ve stopped it anyway, but does help my gut a lot. Peppermint alone is heartburn.
If someone could comment on my iron panel and my thyroid result and calcium.
Thank you.

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription
Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
I always test before 9sm and don’t take meds till after my test. I take all vitamins I need that I’m low in but my body does not absorb well due to my poor gut. I do try help my gut but things never improve.
I’ve recently change my b complex to see if anything improves, I take b12 additional supplement. Aldo changing vit d soon to see if any improvements.
Iron and vit c away from everything else.
Selenium, zinc, vit d and k and magnesium on an evening.
I always buy quality brands for each vitamin.
Yes I have Hashimoto’s, I’ve posted on here a lot and I’ve learnt a lot.
I just wanted help, as my heart palps are the worst ever. Nothing wrong with my heart.
I’m dairy free but I can’t afford to be fully gluten free. My husband is celiac and we struggle to afford his diet. I’m a working mum and we struggle. All vitamins I take don’t help.
My endo has requested my t4 twice now and the labs have rejected. She spoke to me and wanted the t4 too as I’ve not been feeling well.
Everytime I’ve tried t3 my body goes very strange like an allergic reaction. It makes my head very dizzy. I don’t know why I react. I posted a lot on t3.
I did try grains and still struggled, I’m now quite scared at trying again.
If you just avoid processed foods with gluten it doesn’t have to be too expensive
I do buy one small GF sliced loaf a week. Freezes well and makes great toast. (In a separate GF toaster)
Breakfast.
I make my own muesli with GF oats. Very cheap. Add your own mix of chopped dried fruits (fig, dates, apricots, raisins) and chopped nuts (Brazil, almond, walnuts) and lots of seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax, chia)
Mix up a large batch and store in a jar or tin.
500g bag oats plus other ingredients makes at least 20 portions
Gathering ingredients up slowly over several weeks doesn’t need to be expensive
Serve with oat milk, plus fresh banana, couple of strawberries and few blueberries
I also give this as Christmas gift…..a nice glass jar full of muesli …as everyone loves it so much
The nhs hospital got that brand before so wasn’t an issue then. Maybe it’s because I reacted badly with the other brands?
But back then I trusted the dosage that my endo said and I called an ambulance as nearly hit the floor and the lights felt like they were going out. They put me on 10/20 mcg and it really reacted to me. That was the pharma brand.
Do you think t3 just does not work for some? How should I expect to feel? And not?
Do you think I really need the t3 and should just reduce to 200mcg? Thing is I’ve normally felt well with a TSH of 38 or a little lower, but my t4 was lower then I think.
Maybe I should look at the past?
Do I take away from food etc? Be hard in the afternoon. Times? I normally take Levo at 6-7am
Try taking your magnesium away from the others supplements. Can you take your selenium etc earlier in the day and take the magnesium late evening or just before bed.
You really do need to know what your FT4 is before adjusting your dose. I find magnesium tends to block the absorption of other tablets so best to take it at least 2 hours away from everything else and 4 hours away from Levo. I ue the Better You Vit D+K2 spray s it avoids the stomach issue and makes taking other vits easier to fit in.
