So many symptoms & genetic history but tests say I'm normal?
Monitor My Health results;
TSH
levels normal (normal range 0.27 - 4.2 mU/L) - Your result is 2.74 FT4 levels normal (normal range 12 - 22 pmol/L) - Your result is 13.2 FT3 levels normal (normal range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) - Your result is 4.6 My FT4 levels look close to being low so I don't know if this

Do I need an increase? TSH 3.15
Prior to this, my
TSH
was 6.30. I’ve just had results from a test I had this morning that has come back as
TSH
3.15. They haven’t tested T3 or T4 - just my
TSH
and kidneys (which were also fine). I’m still very symptomatic and struggling even more with my mental health. Thanks

Help with bending the truth to obtain right prescription
I currently feel great but know that the
TSH
test she will do will show low
TSH
and she will take me back to 75. It says this in the notes.

My levels have been all over the place at times,
TSH
of 60 being the highest. I've had blood tests every couple of months over the last year, all abnormal, GP upped by 25mcg and
TSH
has gone low and T4 carrying on rising, such fun 🙃

Please help me figure out what’s going on
She wanted me to keep getting checked every year until my
TSH
was over 10, and then she would prescribe levothyroxine. I explained that I want to get pregnant soon, and that I had read
TSH
should be below 2.5 for a healthy pregnancy.

Having an op and NHS freaking out about suppressed TSH
I am having a very minor op under general anaesthetic and NHS have revealed suppressed
TSH
(0.024). They are basically refusing to operate until I get a Dr to say this is ok in the presence of normal T3 (5.2) and T4 (14.8).

Should T3 be made optimal?
Hi, Recent endocrinology letter to GP says to keep T4 in top quarter and
TSH
on the Lower quarter, though he has not said about where T3 should be, wondering why this is as when T4 too high I feel more anxious and heart rate goes up too much, but with T3 higher I dont feel any of that

Good News
Hello Lovely Members So I just had my dreaded Endo appointment at Royal Berkshire Hospital and the Endo prescribed me T3 but wanted me to add in 50mcg of Levo as my
TSH
is so suppressed and my T4 levels are non-existent. I agreed to try.

Low fT4, but midrange fT3. Feeling cold, brain fog.
TSH
is normal. This test has been repeated some times, and comes back always this way. I read that fT4 low and fT3 midrange could mean to be iodine deficient. Currently, I do not take any Thyroxine, and have not before. Which way should I go?

Doctor Listened and Agreed.
During the visit I told the doctor that the blood test taken the week before after a change in dosage was useless because only
TSH
and T4 had been tested, and that to make any sort of sense of it I needed T3 as well which would have been the same as the previous test.

Newbie - Is this Normal? Should I have Treatment?
I asked the GP for a Thyroid function test a year ago and it come back
TSH
5.8 and Serum Free T4 10. I appreciate that this is high but not terrible so was told to retest in 3 months. I have had multiple retests since then all similar most recently creeping up to 6.3.

I found this easier when T 4 was around 19, before thyroxine reduced to improve

Any weight loss tips have hypothyroidism
Recent blood results
TSH
2.62mU/L (ref range 0.27-4.2). I've previously had high thyroid peroxidise antibiodies. Only one doc would check :( I am still symptomatic - hot flushes, cold episodes, occasional depression/mood swings, no energy, tired, not sleeping great and struggling to lose weight.

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed
TSH
. Only saw her because she’s meant to be good with HRT, but she’s gone mad about my
TSH
. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, I’d like to increase my levo!
