Hi,Following earlier posts I wrote to, and then consulted my GP, with a refusal to reduce Levothyroxine dosage until, what I perceive as being low fT3 is addressed. A referral to an NHS Endocrinologist has been made. Following this I have taken the advice received on this forum to supplement with the aim of optimising vitamin and iron levels. At the same time a DNA analysis specific to Thyroid has been carried out. The results are revealing!
Critical
DI01 - with a T allele on rs11206244
TSH Signalling - with an A allele on rs4704397
TSHR TSH Receptor - with an A allele on rs179247
TRHR TSH Receptor - with an G allele on rs3134105
The other main recommendation is that Selenium and Iodine levels should be optimal for best results.
Further, my analysis of my condition is that fT3 is not being cleared quickly enough, and may also be being over-produced in the T4 to T3 conversion process, leading to suppressed fT3 levels.
Next step will be to ask GP to advise Endo team of the results for them to come to a more informed decision as to future treatment.
Any comments and advice would be welcome.
