New results advice needed please

So I started self medication of T3 18th may, prior to which I was on Levo 100/150 alternate days. So I reduced Levo to 100 daily and added 12.5 mg T3 taken in two 6.25 doses was feeling fab until last week when I literally crashed dr ran bloods which I will post results below..... only comment received was tsh high and t4 low hard to interpret!! I'm seeing dr on 28th. I attach a photo to show previous results as in march ... levels were good but I still felt yuk, since taking the T3 the aches and stiffness are no more and brain fog lifted so all in all good, until I slumped last week, no aches and pains just fatigue and more weight gain over past few weeks despite being careful what I eat.

Any advice would be much appreciated I'm thinking of increasing T3 to 2x 12.5 doses daily on top of the 100 Levo??

This weeks results

Tsh 12.0 (0.34-5.6)

T3 4.7 (4.6-6.0)

T4 5.7 (7.9-20)

As stated previous results prior to T3 in photo

Thanks in advance 🙂🙂

You probably needed more T3 which is why you crashed. I can't read the photo but increase slowly as it is potent
