[QUOTE="shop, post: 288366, member: 42992"] I am T1 and am on thyroxine for an underactive thyroid, I agree with Frankie make sure he is on the right dose. They look at your TSH, T3 and T4. It has a negative feedback. So if your TSH is low, normaly the total T4 will be high. ( Because the T4 is high the TSH responds by producing less, If the T4 is low the TSH responds by producing more so goes high ) In other words if his TSH is high and his T4 low he may need more thyroxine! My recent check showed my TSH to be low but because my T4 is within normal range my gp is happy that I am on the right dose! Has he dad it checked recently? Initialy I had it checked every 6mnths, now every 12 months! Lucy xxx [/QUOTE]
