Thyroid test results
This month my test results are:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone [TSH] HI 7.31 Reference 0.274.20MU/L
Thyroxine Free [Free T4] 18 Reference 10-22PMOL/L
So it looks like my tsh is very high but t4 is normal.
4 months ago my results were:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone [TSH]HI 4.97 Range 0.27-4.20
Thyroxine Free [Free T4] 18 Range 10-22
Triiodothyronine Free [Free T3] 2.8 Range 2.6-5.8pmol/L

Good question for your provider.
Did you have a change in medication?
Also, review with provider other meds your taking (including over counter vitamins) to make sure not interfering with any thyroid meds your taking.

Hi @branbud, I agree with @roch that you will want to review the changes in your thyroid test result with your doctor. Do you have an appointment coming up to review the results?
I have an appointment coming up in a couple weeks. I just hoped maybe someone might have some insight.
In following up to my question, th thyroid sprecialist increased my synthroid and stated a low dose of cytomel.
Have them run an antigen test.
My thyroid was removed over 15 years ago due to thyroid cancer. My bloodwork has always been fine for all those years on the same dose, but now it is hard to regulate for some reason.
Your TSH is not dangerously high.
Not to worry. You will find a balance. You just have to find the right does for you this may take a few more test than usual until th doctor finds the right med for you!
I have my checked every six months to make sure it is stable.
I had a thyroid biopsy here last week I still haven't got their test results back yet I keep being reassured by family that it will be okay that they have had benign nodules and their thyroid I'm still waiting to hear from my endocrinologist God bless you I hope that you continue to do better and improve
Biotin will suppressed the TSH. and it is our hair skin and nail vitamins and included in many vitamin compounds. Also iodine is another that can influence lab values
