I need some advice on my latest results as they are very high and differ wildly from my last results, done in May. Done with Monitor my Health
I take 4.5 grains of NDT a day, split in 2 doses. Blood results taken in the morning, with leaving 19h between the last dose. I have secondary hypothyroidism NOT Hashi’s. So there’s no obvious reason why the results should fluctuate so much
Looks like I am totally over medicated (I don’t feel it)
30/5/23 same dose, same testing time & conditions my results were:
TSH <0.01 (range 0.27-4.2)
T4 5.9 pmol/L
FT3 levels normal (normal range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) and
21.8 pmol/L
FT4 levels normal (normal range 12-22 pmol/L)
What is going on? Are these just dodgy results? Should I retest before making any changes?
Thank you!

I'm on NDT. Looks like you were near the top of the range in May and now you have definately gone over. It could be your vits minerals are not optomum and you are not absorbing it as well. Worth checking them.
I move my NDT up down by a quarter due to seasonal changes in weather. Have to say I don't usually reduce it in winter though. However it maybe your levels has very very slowly increased over a number of months so you've been a tadge over dosed that' might have been due to the warm weather we had in particular in June. .
I have to say when I've gone over, not often, I stop my NDT for a few days then go in at a slightly lower dose. I'll leave that with you. Whether you decide it was a seasonal reason why it accumulated and resume you usual dose after stopping or whether ur turns out to be lower vitamin levels
Which NDT are you on? Have you checked if there's been any batch issues? That's another possibility. It happened to me on Erfa a few tears back when they had trouble with their new factory in Spain.
You raise a very good point. I had some issue with incorrect storage previously, which affected efficacy. So maybe this one is full strength and hence too highly dosed.
