Taps,

You may be a little undermedicated on 50mcg. The goal of Levothyroxine is to restore the patient to euthyroid status. For most patients that will be when TSH is 1.0 or lower with FT4 in the upper range. FT3 is less than halfway through range and increasing dose will raise it. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP.

B12, folate and ferritin are good.

ALT is mildly elevated. It may be due to recently diagnosed hypothyroidism and, if so, should subside once you are optimally dosed on Levothyroxine.
