Private appointment is due & think the gp wants to change my meds

Due to see a private consultant in 14th March I have a medicheck blood test ready to go

Phlebotomist accidentally took my thyroid bloods 2 weeks early

My last 4 reading are: (TSH, T4 all the same rannge)

21/06/2024 1.48 16.2

26/09/2024 0.22 21.8

30/12/2024 10.3 14.3

20/2/25 6.29 15.3

On 26/9 they surprised a blood test on me

I'd taken my levo and they told me reduce to 25 - I didn't (obviously if I'd done as I was told my numbers on 30th would have been pants)

On 30/12 I was told increase to 67.5

So I'm anticipating a rise to 75, should I wait until after my consultants appointment ?

My vitamins are all tested and pretty good, I haven't had an iron test in years, so I'm wondering about getting that checked but foliate, B12 & D are great

I'm prepping my info to send to the endo trying to keep it to one page & it's a nightmare!

Help!

I'd go for the increase as you've yet to be on a full replacement dose which is likely what the consultant will say

I just got the text, increase to 75 daily at 12 weeks apart (their preferred Interval) ill be up to my body weight dose by in 36 weeks
