Muscle aches often respond well to home treatment. Some measures you can take to relieve muscle discomfort from injuries and overuse include: resting the area of the body where you are experiencing aches and pains. taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen.
Through the negative feedback loop of TSH levels, this should actually lower your TSH and eventually get your hormones back on track. This can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months depending on your initial test results and the dosage of Thyroxine you are taking.
TSH & free T3 are the same whether you take your T4 medication before or you have waited up to 48 hours to take the blood test. T4 peaks 2 hours after taking it in medication, so can affect a blood test when taken during that peak time. Most of the rest of the day, the T4 levels will be stable. Some doctors adjust doses of medication based on TSH only, so in that case there is no difference.
