Just had my results back; TSH 0.03 T4 11.4 T3 3.5 I take Erfa 125 daily.

Have lost weight recently, and have been suffering from insommnia with a racing brain.

Also am T2 diabetic, controlled HBA1C 5.5.Diagnosed 2012

Am I over medicating?

Would really value some input here from you clever lot.

Without the reference ranges to go with the results its hard to say. Especially the T3 one, but the symptoms you have suggest its quite likely.

[RedApple Administrator]

Going by these results, over-medcation is not obviously indicated. That said, reference ranges that accompany these test results will give a more accurate picture, together with details of how long after your last dose of thyroid medication the test was done.

Symptoms do sound as if you could be taking too much though. In your situation I'd be tempted to try a reduced dose for a while to see what effect, if any, it has on these symptoms.

[Modom in reply to RedApple]

Thank you very much for your considered answer, I will try reducing, and be watchful!

Hi I agree. however it could be some thing else so if reduction does not work then it would be worth further investigation. If taking Metformin for Diabetes and have changed to diabetic diet it could be that. Do you take your BM?( finger prick test ) if not worth getting it done at a pharmacy ( free ) , at least 2 hours after eating It should be below 6, but up to 10 is OK mine gets to 48. I am very underweight but HYpo and severely diabetic. i am looked after by an endo and myself, and definitely not over dosed.

I hope this gives you some ideas. Weight can be related to high FT3 so I would make sure you know the range as various enormously.
