thyroid check : hi got my thyroid checked and one... - Thyroid UK
thyroid check
Can you please tell us what the numbers relate to, eg TSH, FT3 or FT4 and also add ranges (in brackets after results) as these can vary between laboratories.
Do ask your GP for a print out of your results as it may be easier to share these with us.
Are you still on 50mcg of Levo (a starter dose) or did you get an increase, as per advice in your last post?
Also EXTREMELY important to get iron, ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D levels tested
Restless legs often low iron/ferritin
Can you tell us the actual test results and ranges
presumably it is TSH that is 8.2
and
Ft4 16.4
On levothyroxine TSH should always be below 2
50mcg levothyroxine is only standard STARTER dose Levo
dose levothyroxine should be increased by 25mcg and retested in 2-3 months
ALWAYS test thyroid early morning, ideally before 9am, only drinking water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
