Hi I'm on Levo 100 daily and 20 lio daily (which I buy from Mexico) Have been having bad insomnia, achey bones and I've made a GP appt to get my bloods done.. They won't do rT3 we've tried twice before, but can you please tell me what else I should ask for (other than the usual T4 tsh etc, etc)

Hi sorry you haven't had a reply yet, presuming you're adding in the T3 yourself, perhaps look at timing & doses.

All I can suggest in addition to your Thyroid tests (TSH FT4 FT3) ask for Irons ferritin folate B12 and VitD, as these tend to be low as Thyroid function is low, and achey bones could be any. Apologies if you know this already. Jane :D
