URGENT ADVICE NEEDED FOR ENDO CONSULTATION/ UNDER RANGE TSH

Dear amazing community I moved to Cornwall last year after having spent almost 5 years after being left alone by my brilliant GP to manage my own health with T3/T4 combo and bloods every 4 months. I am now having to justify why I’m taking T3! I have been super healthy for many years after having to fight to get T3 in the first instance. The only “issue” that this new endo who I’ve never met before could possibly focus on is that my TSH is under range but it has been like that since I started T3 and I’ve had no ill effects! In fact when I take anything that is lower than 3/4 in the upper range and raised my TSH I’ve had hypo symptoms! All other bloods are in the range and absolutely perfect for me. Please can you amazing people kindly send me links / info as to what I can say to get around this. I take 45mg T3 and 150mg daily. No other health issues in spite of recent surgery which I bounced back from in record time, I’m 51 and BMI of 22.4 plus very active. I’m so scared of what will happen as I’ve been told that the endo will have a final say of if and how much T3 I can continue to be prescribed!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP 🤗💜

if your TSH is between 0.04 and 0.4 this research is very useful . (if it's lower than 0.04 then it's not but the rest of the post is still worth looking at ) : healthunlocked.com/thyroidu... useful-evidence-that-tsh-between-0.04-0.4-has-no-increased-risk-to-patients-on-levothyroxine-updated-new-study-does-show-small-risk
