Hi Welcome to the site. I find itrhard to recognise most of those ranges. However, you certainly need a Free T3 test. Iron and diabetes.It looks like your D is ,low, important to have a calcium test before treating it. Calcium must always be in range. T4 should always be in the top third of the range on treatment.

Best wishes,

Jackie

Hi Tree, you can compare your levels with the ones recommended by this excellent website. You will notice that the test for total t4 and total t3 are not useful but for "free T4 and free T3" are more helpful. Your T4 above MAY be free but your T3 looks like total.

Not everyone does well on thyroxine or the other synthetics for T4. I'm in the U.S. and my P.A. was willing to prescribe Armour. You should be able to try it if you want to. But, if for some reason, you could find a functional neurologist to treat you, you might consider that.
