Hi there, your ft4 needs to be higher, so time for an increase in your levothyroxine. You're roughly aiming for a levo dose approx 1.6mcg per kg body weight. I'm sure others will comment on your other results
Yes you are needing a dose increase. Are you spacing out your supplementing? Some things can counter others. Good to keep iron away from other supplements and levo, though it’s ok to take with vitamin C and this helps absorption. Your results for vitamins and minerals are a bit sorry and they need to be at least halfway in range for us hypos to feel better. Sometimes it takes time.
I’m preempting your Doctor trying to fit you to the blood test so I would say you need to be able to ‘argue’ your case. You need to use their guidelines to get leverage. Look at my pinned post (NHS and NICE guidelines the useful bits) and you will see I have identified the sections you can use to your advantage. ALSO tattybogle has made a brilliant one on TSH. But use their own guidelines as well- there is a reason there are contractions written in. 😉👍. Either someone knows the current treatment protocols are poop 💩 or they are trying to write in a few get out clauses for the authors of the guidelines in case of litigation later down the line 🤣. Yes I am very pessimistic when it comes to the motivations.
