Hi guys,
Just wanted to get people's thoughts on my latest thyroid bloods. I'm currently on 100mcg of Levo and the private GP i see for this says that if we do anything, it may be useful to drop it down to 75mcg. I don't really want to do that, so i think staying at 100mcg could be sensible. What do you guys think?
Drs comments were:
"As you can see you do not need any more thyroxine than the amount that you are currently taking, if we do anything it might be prudent to reduce to 75mcg as although you still have elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies your TSH is suppressed and T4 and free T3 are high in the range. Your bound T3 and T4 appear slightly over normal range as well, only marginally but this is clear indication that your thyroxine should not be taken any higher at present."
TSH: 0.055 mIU/l [0.55 - 4.78]
Free T4: 16.87 [10.4 - 19.4]
Free T3: 6.37 [2.6 - 7.1]
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies: 1187.9 [<60]
Triiodothyronine(T3): 2.22 [0.6 - 1.81]
T4: 167.3 [59 - 154]
These were taken around 10:45 on an empty stomach with only water consumed beforehand and my last levo was taken over 24 hours before.
Thanks!
