[Gilly-spud]

My t3 is 3.1 and was told no action need but still feel ruff on 125 levothyroxine. I'm new to this site anybody can help would be grateful

Sorry, but we need more information than that to be able to say anything constructive.

Do you have the range for that?

Do you have FT4 and TSH readings?

Have you been tested for antibodies?

And, surely a lot of other things, too. But answers to the above would help.

That FT4 is incredibly high. Are you sure that's right? Anyway, we still need the ranges - the numbers in brackets after the results.

It would look something like this :

FT4 15 (12-22)

[Gilly-spud in reply to greygoose]

It just says total throxine(t4) 139.7

[greygoose in reply to Gilly-spud]

It's not the Total thyroxine we're interested in. It's the Free thyroxine. You put 'free tyroxine 199.99'. Well, that's a very weird level. The range is normally 12 - 22. So, if yours is 199.99, it would be extremely over-medicated. Where did you get those results? From the doctor?

[Gilly-spud in reply to greygoose]

Sorry free thyroxine 19.99

[greygoose in reply to Gilly-spud]

Ahhhhhh ok! lol That makes more sense. So, that is quite high, it would seem.

I really shouldn't say anything without seeing the ranges, but it would seem to me that you have a conversion problem, there. But, doctors know nothing about conversion. But, next time you see him, suggest it to him, see what he says.

Thank you

I'm sorry I can't help any more than that. But, without the ranges, it's impossible to know for sure. Ask your doctor if he's got the ranges.

Tsh is 1.67. t4 is 139.7
