There's nothing on your Profile - so there's nothing to base our replies on.  Are you adding T3 to your T4 ?  Have you shared your Thyroid results with ranges - in case taking T3 is not the answer ?  Have you had all the basics tested - Ferritin - Folate - VitD - B12.  They all need to be optimal rather than bumping along the bottom for the T3 to work - otherwise you will have problems and be disappointed.

Pinklady79,

We need to see TSH, FT4 and FT3 with ranges (the figures in brackets after results) to advise.
