Looks like you don't convert T4 to T3 well but you know that.
Do you have any results for vitamin D3 as that needs to be optimal.
Ferritin, I believe needs to be around a minimum of 70.
Other avenues to look at would be adrenal function and gut health. I would recommend the excellent book from Dr Peatfield which talks about the reasons why things can go wrong and what we can do to fix them:
Even then I'm not convinced that blood tests results always show the true story. My last blood tests showed that my T3 levels were excellent but I still felt rubbish.
A subsequent urine test revealed that there was little uptake. Back to the drawing board. This condition is so frustratingly complex - just when you think you're getting on top of things .....
Blood results definitely don't give a full picture. They can hint towards what approach to take, but like you said in the end clinical results are the most important. I totally get where your frustration is coming from, I'm in the same boat!
Have you had any tests for anti bodies? I had raised antibodies (TPO) 5 years after being diagnosed hypo. I was very ill until I started a gluten free diet which reduced the Ab's and I began to feel better.
Hey crimple, how long did it take on gluten free before you noticed a drop in antibodies? I ask because I've been at it for a year but in this time my antibodies doubled from 450 to now over 1000 (don't know the actual number since the lab's range ends at 1000).
I was completely wrong, I was basing what I said off the first set of results, I hadn't read your results properly. Since the second set of results are levo alone your conversion is definitely off. Sorry about that!
