I think my TSH has gone down, but my GP also along the way has lowered my levothyroxin a lot , initially I was on 200micrograms a day , then 150 micrograms and now she wanted me down on 100 micrograms which I refused... but my TSH has been very suppressed for a decade and I have been free of much interference, a period I upped my levothyroxine to ty to loose weight up till 300 micrograms, that was a disaster : didn´t loose any weight but got some noise on my hearth beat, so I will strongly ask others never to do so.. now I am in my middle fifties and that means that I should be more aware not to have a too suppressed TSH so therefor I have agreed to go to a level of 125 micrograms , and maybe also next time as low as 100 micrograms, as I have found out that too high levels of thyroid hormons also drags out calcium from ones bones and that is especially dangerous after menopause/ late in life because the body won´t compensate that..
so well yes I think my TSH has been lowered a lot but it was all along the way so now I´ll try what my GP suggests.. and see how this will affect my T4 and T3 before I complain...
yes it will be interesting how my TSH acts towards what I do now : being both without metformin but also at the same time going lower in levothyroxine ... but maybe not really given a reliable picture of just what stopping Metformin would do on it´s own.. as my GP wants me off of metformin anyway I thought I would try to see how all my numbers acts when I am only on levothyroxine 125 micrograms ... and hope this is the ideal dose for good now...
by the way my thyroid gland is totally dead , which is not the case in most persons taking thyroxine.
