thyroid results

[Thyroidmeg]

any thoughts on why ft4 levels are high and what needs done please

[TiggerMe Ambassador]

Assuming you are taking T4 these results show that you are taking a little too much and not converting well hence the low fT3 levels... worth asking for a referral to Endo and a trial of T3

Above range fT4 is not good for your health but then neither is low fT3 😕

hi I only take levothyroxine 200 a day

Do you keep your vits and mins at optimal levels?

With your TSH at 3.6 it shows that your body would appreciate some more active hormone

Dr just says it’s normal within range that’s why I did test with medichecks too

I’m prescribed 800iu d3 due to a deficiency

I take garlic too. I’m on blood pressure pills too but

Are there any others I should check ?

Thanks

Main players are folate, ferritin, B12 and Vit D 800iu is unlikely to be enough to get you up to 100 ish...grassrootshealth.net/projec...

selenium also helps with conversion, GPs only check TSH these days and don't really understand correct replacement

Check out the list to see if there are any T3 aware Endo's in your area and ask for a referral to them...thyroiduk.org/contact-us/ge...
