The two which jump out at me are the free thyroxine 13.1 in a range of 12 - 22 - that is quite low, as is the T3. Those are the two most important figures, but the good news is that the antibodies (Thyroglobulin and Thyroid peroxidase) seem OK.

I can only add that it looks as if you are underdosed. Are you still on 75 or are you back to 100? I might have suggested this before but perhaps you could split the 25 and take 87.5 each day and the steady dose might cut down all the ups and downs you've been getting.

I can't manage to take alternate doses, it makes me completely haywire. I know some people can, but how well we know that we are all different!
