thyroid t4 tests shortage?
I was sent for thyroid test but all that was tested was my
tsh
and I was told Hit’s sue to shortage of t4 tests and that my
tsh
is okay so it’s not thyroid 🙈 is this true ? I’m so sick of the run around with it all thinking get home testing kit but is there’s hair rage everywhere ?

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in
TSH
which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid hormone. Because my
TSH
was in range then all ok apparently. Does anyone have feedback on my current thyroid levels?

newly diagnosed help with results
They wouldn’t prescribe anything higher as my
tsh
was suppressed < 0.001 I’ve just had my results back from my test this week and I’m not sure how to interpret and feel like they’re gonna try and take me off the levothyroxine.

After getting my results doctor has advised if you take thyroxine the NHS will only test
TSH
now. My old doctors used to do T4 and
TSH
. I could never get T3 done. On a positive note new doctor did do my B vitamins which I’ve never had done before. Anyway they said they are all normal.

Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo
TSH
0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio
TSH
0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better.

Suppressed TSH but hypo symptoms
Why is my
tsh
suppressed? Why does 200mcg no longer work for me? And what can my next steps be? Armour thyroid or cytomel?

TSH

Feb 2023 (at GP) [
4.33 and FT4 11.4 but serum cortisol low] [

No thyroid gland so where does TSH fit?
So, my
TSH
is suppressed at 0.02 (used to be 0.01). If I have no thyroid gland to stimulate, what is the big issue with my suppressed
TSH
? I would just like to be able to understand. Thank you in advance, clever people.

Questions about TSH and advice on results over the past year much appreciated
How important is
TSH
in terms of symptoms etc? I know it is a 'signal' and not a hormone as such...? If my t3 & t4 are in range, could my
TSH
eventually rebalance? would the
TSH
alone cause symptoms? Also, is there a lag between symptoms and blood tests?

interpreting results
I’m fine interpreting the results of the vitamins and minerals, and I also understand that the higher the
TSH
the more underactive you are, and the lower the number, the more overactive you are, ideally
TSH
needs to be between 1 and 2…..

Impending GP appointment advice
Bizarrely on my last blood test only my
TSH
was tested, not sure if this was an oversight from the lab, request from GP on the form or what?
