Help Please - Endo has increased my T3
My latest blood test results - T4 17 (12-22) - T3 5.1 (3.01 - 6.8) TSH 0.01 (0.27 - 4.2). I can never get an early morning test at this hospital, my blood test was 1pm. I had stupidly forgot and took my T4 75 mcg before bed. I did not take my T3 until after the blood test. I still feel very unwell

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

'Suppressed' TSH
I'm hoping that the kind and knowledgeable people on this forum can help... Every morning as I begin to stir, I feel a 'vibration' in my chest - this will wake me up. When I take my thyroid medication, the 'vibration' subsides after about 20 minutes. I did query this on this forum and was told that

It is a similar question to many. where to buy? with lab results
I wont but vitamins Bit D antibodies here (as apart from folate) cannot produce methyl folate, B12, Vit D all midrange big (ferritin is always high so might get tested for iron overload), never ever any thyroid antibodies. I will just post the thyroid today, before covid on 3 grains NDT and 2 Grains
