Hello. These are my results after 9 weeks taking 100 mcg of SYNTHROID, increased from 75 mcg. I am male, 38 years old, 72 kg:
TSH:
Before taking thyroid medication: 5,09 uUI/ml
Whit 75 mcg: 1,13 uUI/ml
Whit 100 mcg: 0,19 uUI/ml
Ref: 0,40 – 4,30
Free T4:
Before taking thyroid medication: 1,01 ng/dl 28,18 % in the range
Whit 75 mcg: 1,18 ng/dl 43,63 % in the range
Whit 100 mcg: 1,42 ng/dl 65,45 % in the range
Ref: 0,70 – 1,80 ng/dl
Free T3:
Before taking thyroid medication: 0,34 ng/dl 70% in the range
Whit 75 mcg: 0,32 ng/dl 60 % in the range
Whit 100 mcg: 0,33 ng/dl 65% in the range Ref: 0,20 – 0,40
So, whit 100 mcg, the TSH is now below the reference range, free T4 increased from 43 to 65 % of the reference range, but free T3 is still lower than before starting taking Synthroid.
Well, whit 100 mcg for 9 weeks, I see zero improvements, I still have fatigue, constipation, no outer eyebrows, tiny hair, and the worst symptom of mine, my legs are heavy, weak, and painful.
Should I go to 125 mcg, or is time to ad T3 to the mix? I have in my home now T3 in the form of:
- Desiccated thyroid from Thailand;
- 2.5 mcg, 10 mcg, and 20 mcg T3 capsules from a compound pharmacy -
Also, I can ask the compound pharmacy to make the capsules the size I want without a prescription.
What do you think? What is the next step to take? Thank you very much!
