Experiences with

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test

In July I was prescribed Levothyroxine 50mg when my results were TSH = 10.5 T4 = 10.5 My most recent test in August showed my levels had changed to TSH = 2.31 T4 = 14.5 Despite my levels changing I felt awful (if not worse) and the last week or two I’ve felt much worse and have developed huge

Due to see the endo on Monday but I know he might say it is in range.The blood tests are as follows: I sent the TSH, T3and t4 in a previous email.

My plan is to take test later in day, I know early morning is recommended but I'm not bothered about TSH, I just want to see my t4 and t3 levels currently. I am going swimming now and thought if I drink plenty and do draw after exercise I might succeed. My question is when should I take t4 and t3.

Hello Long story short, i was diagnosed Hashimoto's 2020, told to wait for TSH to rise before medication. I've been trying to conceive for years so went back to the GP this year when i found out TSH should be below 2.5 for this, not 5.

Hello, so I've been on Armour for 14 weeks now and these are my current bloods: TSH - 0.007 T4 - 13.7 (12-22) T3 - 6.3 (3.3 - 6.8) My doctor (private specialist) said ideal bloods on Armour would be T4 12-14 and T3 5.5-6.5, and TSH would be suppressed.

Thyroid result February 125 Levo dose TSH 0.076 (0.27-4.2) Free T3 4.6 (3.1-6.8) Free Thyroxine 22.2 (12-22) B12 35.7 (37.5-188) GP repeated this and result was 208 (150-1000) no further action Reduced Levo to 100 which is more appropriate dose for my weight March - 6 weeks later TSH 4.17

Participants continuously treated with LT4 exhibited a stable elevation in serum FT4 and, a reduction in serum FT3 and TSH levels.

But why is her TSH in good range and free t4 level low? She is 17 stone and 100 mcg of thyroxine. Many thanks in advance for any advice or observations 😊

I stated that my T4 was fine but he said NHS doesn't look at T4/T3 and the best indicator is TSH. In case you're wondering, the red on the chart indicates weight gain. I'm struggling with this. What do you all think of this 'TSH is the only thing to look at'?

Free T4 19.5 10.8 - 25.5 (59.2%) Free T3 6.1 3.1 - 6.8 (81.1%) TSH 0.002 (0.27-4.2) I think that I need to increase my levo, but by how much? I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg lio. Thanks

TSH - 0.006 (0.27-4.2) T3 - 5 (3.1-6.8) T4 - 20.2 (12-22) The most AMAZING news for me is I’m finally starting to feel better! I am taking 5mcg T3 on rising and then 2.5mcg 8 hours later and then another 2.5mcg just before bed.

Serum free T4 level 7.2 pmol/L [7.8 - 21.0] Serum TSH level 6.1 mu/L [0.35 - 4.7] What do these results suggest? Are they very abnormal? Are there more tests I should request? Any insights much appreciated. Thanks

My TSH is .37 so I am low. Do I need to take a higher dose of Synthroid or a lower dose of Synthroid. I can’t remember how that works. My T3 and T4 are within normal ranges.

I have all of the symptoms of underactive thyroid including congestive heart failure but my blood tests keep coming back as "normal" T3 4.4pmol/l (range 3.1-6.8), T4 12.5pmol/l (range 11.9- 21.6), TSH 17IU/ml (range 0-34).

my last bloods were: TSH 0.12 T4 18 T3 3.7 My gp obviously doesn’t work with my t3 and I can’t see my endo until august! thanks in advance 🙏

When she was in hospital for the second time with the foot pain and being unable to walk, her TSH was ~5.9. The Hospital just did a swab and advised her to use chlorsig eye drops. Thanks in advance

My results were tsh 0.22 (0.27-4.2) T4 15.09 (12-22) T3 5(3.1-6.8) My cholesterol has not gone down since taking T3 and is 6.7mmol HDL 1.99 NON HDL 4.72 Triglycerides have risen to 3.06 from 1.08.

Here are labs: T3 total (76-181)-82 TSH .(40-4.50)-1.83 T4 free.(8-1.8)-1.3 Thyroid antibodies <9)- 1 Vit b 12 (200-1100)-407 Folate low( <3.4)-9.1 Am cortisol (4-22) 27.6 I am taking b12, d3 and magnesium daily. Are they still too low?
