Had total thyroidectomy 5 yes ago. Once my levels were stabilized, I was on .88 levothyroxine for a few yes until this past Feb. NOne of the drs I have seen do free t3....just TSH 3rd gen and free T4.
Feb
TSH 0.13
Free t4. 1.92
Lab range TSH 0.27-4.20
Free t4. 0.93-1.70
I was considered hyper and put on .75 levothyroxine.
April
TSH. 2.27
Free t4. 1.38
Now my TSH is. 0.14 and free t4 is 1.45 so they just put me on .50. I do feel kind of nervous, anxious, exhausted after work but my body can't relax much, can't sleep good. I've never been on a dose lower than 88 til this year.....plus my FSH test was higher than normal in Dec indicatig perimenopause/menopause. No cycle since July. I've skipped a couple of months in the past before tho.
Do these hormone changes effect thyroid????
Any help would be appreciated..... The!
