Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I got my latest blood test results today. I am taking 150mcg of T4 and 20mcg of T3. My Thyroid doc wants me to increase to 40mcg of T3. TSH 0.1 (Range 0.25 - 5) FT3 2.6 (Range 1.2 - 2.8) FT4 18 (Range 9 - 19) Hg 13.5 (Range 11.5 -16) I asked for my iron levels to be checked as I have been losing hair, but it seems that the lab only tested Haemoglobin. It looks better than I thought it might be especially since I'm a vegetarian. The clinical biologist at the lab had attached a note stating that I am " over replaced with T4 and T3 " . My GP is very confused since I am so well with no symptoms of hyper but he says my TSH is " far too low " . Thankfully he has decided to go on prescribing at the same level. He huffed and puffed and muttered that giving T3 is " very irregular " (it is not usual practice in the UK). I might try and reduce the T4 to 125mcg and up the T3 to 40mcg, but since I do run out of steam in the early evening perhaps I should keep the T4 at the level it is now? In the UK the smallest dose of T4 is 25mcg and the smallest T3 tab is 20mcg. Any comments? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
