Sqad - Wooohooo - Are You There ?
33 Answers
Sqad - just phoned Docs to get my repeat thyroid blood test result from Friday of last week - do you remember me saying my TSH was 6.something - well now it is 9.9, thats gone up since my last bloods in May.............I have increased my Thyroxine to 100mg per day (as I was taking 100mg and 75mg on alternate days). How long do you think before they kick in, as I am feeling so low at the moment. My fasting glucose was 6.0 which I think is high.......
This reading seems to have gone down a few notches very fast since May up until now - don't know why this has dramatically changed, as I have been fine up until the last blood test. After I had my op 6 years ago, it took 2 years of back and forth to the Nuffield to get my levels stabilised - now I am back to square one again, and feel like crying. (:o(

Sqad - if I had not rang the GP surgery yesterday, they would never have let me know. When the practice nurse said, as my T4 was within normal limits, GP could'nt understand why I was feeling so ill, I thought, perhaps something else is causing this. She said the T4 was more important than the TSH readings ! (she was just repeating what the GP said).
Hope you feel better soon cazzz - chest infections can really pull you down.

I personally think, when I saw the GP back in May and was told my TSH was 6.0, she should have increased my meds to 100mcg everyday then. It was only when I came home and looked at my old blood test results from 3 years ago from the Nuffield, I realised how bad the TSH result was. Now I am paying the price with my health, (and she is one of the better GPs in our practice !!).
