Trialling T3 & T4 Low TSH
I’m aware of the fact that if you take T3 your
TSH
goes down, but he doesn’t! My results are above. Any help greatly appreciated.

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test
tsh
when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

UPDATE: NEW RESULTS
I read that somewhere but my
TSH
graph seems to bear it out
TSH
was high until menopause then dropped considerably. It went up again when I had Breast Cancer which was totally caused by Oestrogen.

Worried about recent test results
TPO 210 Tg 971
TSH
1.85 T3 3.2 T4 17.3 What could the high tg anti mean? I'm worried about Thyroid cancer since I have never had this befire and I thought that only tpo was linked to autoimmunity.

First lab results after returning to T4 mono therapy. Comments and suggestions welcome.
In previous T4 only days, with a low
TSH
I would've reduced T4 dosage by 12 mcg. So, now, theoretically I should take 75 instead of 88. I used to do well with 40/50 percent ft3/ft4.

Side effects after a dose increase?
This was due to a reading of 4.44 on my
TSH
blood test. I stayed on 75 for 12 weeks and then had another test. My
TSH
was around 3.79 so I was given a dose increase to 100. Since the latest increase around a week ago, I have been feeling a little 'out of sorts.'

T3 dosing advice
Or with the
TSH
being low would I increase the T3 whilst dropping the levo to 75mcg? I prefer my T4 sitting where it is at 18ish but worried about being "hyper" if I increase T3 and leave the levo dose. Thanx!

Carbimazole causing very short period cycles (+ rapid drop in t4 on low dose)
My T4 was the highest it had been (38 pmol/L ) and my
TSH
less than 0.01 so I agreed to go on a small dose of Carbimazole (10mg per day) Within 5 weeks, my next bloods showed my T4 dropped well into normal (14 pmol/L) though my
TSH
is still less than 0.01.
