Dear knowledgeable people, I was wondering if you thought this would be a good test for me to get (or if you would recommend another one):

Hi, Elizabeth. What makes you think you might need such a comprehensive check?
Elizabeth333 Unless you have reason to believe you are making reverse T3 rather than free T3 then you don't need the rT3 included. Is your FT4 very high or over range and your FT3 low in range? If not then go for the Ultravit, without the rT3, I think it's £99. That will included the full thyroid panel, including antibodies, plus all the important vitamins and minerals.
Thank you so much, Seaside Susie and Steviecat. Do you know how I would know if I making reverse T3? Best wishes, Elizabeth
If you are taking Levo and on a high dose and still have what appear to be hypo symptoms, with a high or over range FT4 and low in range FT3 that can indicate you might be making rT3.
This article explains it quite well restartmed.com/reverse-t3/
