Would you please help me figure out if I have a conversion problem

Latest results

All my vitamins are optimal and I'm supplementing.

I would say you do have a bit of a problem, there, yes. You would probably profit from some T3 added to your levo.

Thank you! Do you think there's room for an increase of levothyroxine to try first?

There is, but I'm not sure it would help much.

Ok, thanks again!

An I understanding you correct if I think your advice would be to add some T3 and not increase Levo?
