Help With Results

[HarrietJW]

I am taking Thyroid S (2 grains in the am and 1 in the afternoon)

I would like help with my results.

Do I need to take a bit more to be optimum?

TSH

0.032

(0.27 - 4.2)

T4

15.5

(12 - 22)

T3

5.4

(3.1 - 6.8)

Vit D

87.8

(50 - 250)

B12

120

(37.5 - 188)

T4 15.5 (12 - 22) 35.00%

T3 5.4 (3.1 - 6.8) 62.16%

Optimum is not a number, it's how you feel. If you feel well on that dose, with those results, then they're probably optimum for you. However, if you don't, there is room for an increase.

Hello Harriet :

2 years ago you were taking 3 grains of Thyroid S and with a much higher T3 and said you were feeling much better :

Are you trying to get back to 3 grains but can't seem to tolerate raising your dose any longer ?

There have been some issues with some people not able to tolerate some batch numbers ?

There are no ferritin nor folate readings here and think your vitamin D and B12 need a little more support.

I now aim for ferritin at around 100 - folate 20 - active B12 125 ( serum B12 500++ ) and vitamin D up at around 125.

Both your T3 and T4 are well in range - and as expected your TSH low and under the range.

There is room to continue to build up this dose - are you feeling any relief of any symptoms ?

[HarrietJW in reply to pennyannie]

I am still on 3 grains of Thyroid S now.

Ferritin is 119 (30-169)

Would you recommend further supplementation on B12 and Vit D?

[pennyannie in reply to HarrietJW]

Oh sorry - I misread 2 grains - 1 am and 1 pm : silly me :

Apologies - well looking back your T3 was just tipping over the top of the range 2 years ago - and more like my results were then, too .

Yes I would recommend building up both B12 and vitamin D a little now :

How are you feeling ?

Check out your batch number - I've had 2 batches I couldn't tolerate last year and since a horrible bug this last Christmas / New Year my existing batch now seems a little too strong !!

Check the batch number on the Thyroid-S on helvella blog. The strength can vary. I take the same as you, and occasionally have to fiddle with the dose. You can also add a smidge of Levo to see if that hits your sweet spot.
