Hi, I asked a question a couple of weeks back about whether my T4 level should be higher to feel better (I'm not feeling really ill but still have symptoms). My GP has requested FT3 on a number of occasions but the lab won't test so I've had it tested with Blue Horizon.
My results are:
tsh 0.19 (0.27-4.2)
T4 16.17 (12-23)
FT3 4.9 (3.1 - 6.8)
I saw my GP last week (didn't have the FT3 result then) and he said he would like to see the T4 a little higher so was going to give me a trial increase from 100mcg to 125mcg. Unfortunately he then felt a swollen gland in my neck and said he'd like me to take antibiotics to see if the gland goes down before staring the increase. so close.....
So with the little knowledge I have am I right in thinking that my FT3 is perfect? and maybe this one last increase may help?
I'm awaiting copies of my vitamin results from the GP's. I have been told all in range.
Thanks as usual!
