T4 at 20.4 GP thought of reducing thyroxine

Just had appointment with my GP to see what latest blood test was and my T4 is 20.4 so my GP thought of a reduction in thyroxine I felt like I would wait to be seen at the hospital as things have improved a lot. She has put me back on Vit d as my levels were a bit low. Anyone got any thoughts on that please. I am still achy but not anywhere near as bad as I was .

T3 is the one you need to know as it is the active hormone.

I need my ft4 to be 20 before I feel well otherwise I have symptoms. You really need to have the range. The range at my lab is 10 - 22. Can you ring your surgery or hospital and ask for it.
