I'm currently on 150 mcg Levo and 20mcg t3 ( have hashis)
Bloods just came back
Tsh 0.06
Ft3 4.6 ( 3.9 - 6.7)
No ft4 this time as refused by lab
Previously in January 14.9 ( 9-24)
Got a last minute endo appointment tomorrow as feel like death still , usual hypo tiredness lack of clarity , dark circles etc
Have been on the usual supplements ( b50 complex , b12 , vit c , ashwaghanda ) for 2 months
Fetritin 111 ( 50 - 300)
Is it as easy as more t3 ? I don't know what more to say to endo !

Hi Stuart, yes FT3 still low so you need more T3 perhaps with reduced T4.

Thanks for your reply
How much should I increase? I have a nice supply of my own
I am fed up of 10mcg then another 8 weeks , then bloods then increase 10mcg and keep getting nowhere !

Reduce T4 by 50mcg and add another 20mcg T3 so 100mcg T4 + 40mcg T3 which is my perfect dose Follow up bloods for me are roughly every 3 months.

I think I will , how do you dose your 40 t3?

I used to take it all with T4 but endo suggested split dose twice daily would be better, so now take 20mcg with T4 when I wake and 20mcg before I go to sleep. Forget occasionally but levels are good and I don't notice a missed dose.

Also check for adrenal fatigue symptoms and fix it first
