Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Dear Val,yes your feedback has helped thank you. I've emailed my doctor and told him about halving the thyroxine and increasing the iodine and have asked him to organize a free T4 and T3, test to get a better ideato our good health!From: valmiller500 <valmiller500@...>iodine Sent: Mon, 19 April, 2010 2:09:10 PMSubject: Re: tsh levels up Hi, TSH increases when starting iodine therapy. Reference Dr. Brownstein's Iodine book 4th Edition, pg 145 Dr. Brownstein also writes that it may stay elevated for 6 months. Have your doctor test your FreeT4 (Ft4) and FreeT3 (FT3) levels to accurately monitor your thyroid levels. Hope that helped -Val M > > Hi , I recently halved my thyroxine medication from 100mg to 50 and went from 50mg of Lugols 5% to 100mg and my TSH has gone up from 7.79 to 9.36. So the doc wants to increase my medication. He doesn't know I halved my thyroxine and doubled the lugols. > > Why have my TSH levels gone up? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
