Making progress, I think.....

Total thyroidectomy one year ago and have been in the doldrums since. Here are my blood from 5 weeks ago on 100mcg Levo and 12.5 Cynomel T3:

FT3. 4.21. 3.80-6.80

FT4. 15.6. 12.0-22.0

Today's results on 100 Levo and 18.75 Cynomel:

FT3. 5.02. Same range

FT4 15.0. Same range

I have appointment with my endo day after tomorrow. He is open to my suggestions!

I am thinking of suggesting 100 Levo with 25 Cynomel (increase) and not pay attention to T4.

A T3 increase would seem to be in order, especially as I have not been able to lose any of the weight put on this past year. Aiming for a FT3 of about 6.0 at least...

I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Should I add T3 or wait and see?

on 100 Levo only, bloods were as follows TSH 4.42 (0.5-5.5) FT4 12.6 (9.0-19.0) FT3 2.9 (2.6-6.0)...

Progress Seems Very Slow

the range. In April, taking 50mcg my results were: TSH 10.30 (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 16.9 (12.0 - 22.0)...

I guess this is progress...

suppose things are better than they were a week or two ago. My face has more colour in it now than...

Think I need a sleuth?

result is a symptom or a cause. Currently taking T4 - 100, T3 - 45, Methylcobalamin - 1000 mcg...
