Hypothyrodism

[EssentialHummus]

I posted on here late last year about feeling foggy, under-medicated and with heart palpitations on an increased dose of 75 micrograms of levothyroxine, and the resounding advice was we need to see actual numbers. I am seeing an endo next week, but does anyone want to have a go at interpreting these hot off the press blood test results?

I am still feeling incredibly foggy, struggling to concentrate, tired by 7pm, hair loss, and heart palpitations at least half the day.

Numbers in brackets are the range specified.

TSH 4.38 ( 0.27-4.20 ) mU/L
Free T4 21.5 ( 12.0-22.0 ) pmol/L
Free T3 5.1 ( 3.1- 6.8 ) pmol/L

Watching with interest, my thyroid has been failing for 2 years but my doctor is loath to start me on meds. I'm due another blood test in 4 weeks so will get a printout. I'm tired (used to be like energiser bunny, having to put everything in my calendar in my phone - always had a fantastic memory, and slapped weight in - doctor blames menopause and hrt (ovarian cancer so had it all out)
