Latest Private Blood Test Results.

[Bright-eyes]

Hi,

I’m just looking for thoughts on my latest blood test results. I’m feeling ok, but still get tired.

currently on (Levothyroxine 75mgs and T3 10mgs ). Daily.

I also take vitamins c, magnesium, folate, omega 3,6,7&9.

I also take HRT progesterone & Estrogel

Your new results are an improvement on your previous post:

Serum TSH level 2.65 mu/L [0.3 - 5.01

Serum free T4 level 9.7 pmol/L [7.9 - 16.01)

However, you would no doubt benefit from a further increase in thyroid medication .

When I struggled with 75mcg Levo and 10mcg Lio, my Endo suggested I add another 5mcg Lio in the afternoon & for me, this boosted my energy levels.

Many members taking HRT report needing slightly more thyroid medication.

Thankyou for your response. I will try this. ☺️

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)

On T3 - day before test split T3 as 2 or 3 smaller doses spread through the day with last dose 8-12 hours before test

is this how you did your test

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested

Exactly What vitamin supplements are you taking
