Hi

Ive attached a picture of my recent blood test results

It all looks ok to me but can anyone see anything obviously wrong

I do have a copy of what the doctor said but i will leave posting that just yet. It was done from one of those online finger prick tests

Thanks

Your TSH is very low - are you on thyroxine at the moment? If so you might need a dose reduction.

Yes i am on 150mg

Ive attached a printout of the last few years as that's probably easier

So i was on 75mg for years and my results were in the 4.0 range in 2012

Went up to 100mg and it dropped to 0.11 then settled at 0.86, the i went up to 125g in about 2015 because it was back in the 2.0 and then 150mg in 2017 because it was back over 1.0

I felt better on under 1.0

But that result is really low right?

TSH doesn't matter once you're on thyroxine.

FT4 looks good, but proportionately FT3 looks a bit low as would explain your symptoms.

You may need a referral to an endocrinologist who can prescribe T3.

THere is absolutely no call to reduce your dose. That will just make things worse.

Thank you time

The online dr also said to reduce the dose but that wasnt making sense to me as i dont seem to have any of the 'overdose' symptoms
