Under Active Thryoid Annual Check Up

21st September 2016

Well, here’s an oddity:

Following my annual blood test to check my thyroxine levels, I have received a call from the surgery today to advise that my levothyroxine level may be too high. Having spent the last 6 years on the same level, I’m wondering how this could have happened.

Two possibilities spring to mind: reduced stress over recent years coupled with my regular supplement rotation may have played a factor. Alternatively, I may currently be using a batch which has better bioavailability than other manufacturers. I don’t always use the same pharmacy to dispense, but this time I have also noted that the current generic I have is not only a coated tablet, but there are less other ingredients than before.
