Re: Just had blood results back - any ideas.

[Guest guest]

I think you need to increase both Stacey. If this was me I would

try another 10mcgs T3 and another 25mcgs T4 and see how you get on. Are you

still taking the T3 split twice daily?

Well done with the weight loss, you must feel very proud of

yourself - now just imagine 42 lb packs of butter piled up in front of you, and

that is the excess weight you were carrying.

I have just had my bloods back after being on

thyroxine which I have reduced from 75 down to 25mcg a day when I started self

treating with T3 back in Feb and since losing weight (hCG) and reducing to 25

of T3 and I find that compared to this time last year I feel better than ever.

I do tend to flag a bit now and then. Eating healthy and lost 21 lbs on hCG -

going for another 10 lbs starting next week.

My TSH is 0.78(0.35-5.5)

Serum T3 4.4 (3.5-6.5)

T4 is 4.6 (11.5-22.7)

My T4 is low at 4.6 - does anyone know what this might. Do you think that I may

need to increase my thyroxine again or my T3.??

Hi Sheila,

I have been taking the T3 half am and half afternoon - I must admit for a few

days I did take a whole one in the morning but that was just for convenience on

that occasion.

I cannot understand why my T4 is so low, wierd!?

Thanks

I will try to up doses again and see what happens - to be honest when I have

done both rounds of hCG I have felt better all round and so have reduced a

little - maybe too soon - we'll see.

Thanks

Hi Stacey, please remember that if you are feeling well with no

symptoms that you stay on the dose of thyroid hormone replacement that you are

taking. Don't titrate your drugs according to what thyroid function blood test

results are telling you. If only doctors would listen to what their patients

are telling them and not the results of blood tests only, and acted

accordingly, we would all be so much better.
