I've had hypothyroidism for 30+ years. I've only ever seen an endocrinologist once, and that was when I was first diagnosed. Since then I've had the yearly TSH check and it's always been mostly within normal limits, this despite my still having every symptom of hypothyroidism. Last week I had a well

T3 Advice
I have been on 112 Tirosint for 3 months. I am apathetic, irritable, sleeping a lot and have crazy muscle pains. Based on below labs, I convinced my doc to add in T3. She dropped Tirosint to 100 and said add 5mcg of liothyronine. Should I give it a couple weeks on just 100 before adding in t3? Should

GP says results are fine
Fatigue, brainfog, muscle aches, joint pain, and other various symptoms. Below are my blood test results. The GP stated there is nothing of concern. He seemed more focused on mental health issues. Is there anything obvious below? Someone said to post here. Rheumatoid factor 8 Range: Below 12.5
