Long story short, I've been on 125mcg Levo for half a year or so now, not felt remotely ok at any point following the 'Levo dosage honeymoon period' I tend to experience when going up. Classic symptoms of extreme fatigue, brain fog, cold, scalp issues etc.
Read about the DIO2 gene quite some time ago but presumed it was all fine after finding out my free T3 is at the top end of the normal range. Turns out I'd misunderstood or been misinformed as to the role of the gene and should still test it anyway.
I was going to pay to have the test done, however discovered apparently 23andMe cover it (which I did about a year ago). I've gotten ahold of the 'raw data' but have no clue what I'm looking at frankly. If anybody could either personally help me interpret the results (fine with that being publicly displayed) or link me to a site which may help me to do so for myself
Cheers!

Funnily enough I did use that exact link, paid for Promethease and still couldn't figure it out! It does give a little bit more information but nowhere is anything explicitly stated about what these results mean. I'll keep having a look around, thanks!
