HelloI have hashimotos hypothyroidism. I was just wondering if it is normal for my TSH and antibodies to keep going up until correct dose is achieved or should I still see it coming down with each dose change? Thank you 😊

Longstanding hypothyroid, with now very low TSH
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
