How long to re-test after T3 dose change on T4/T3 combo?

[Hattie007]

Hello all. So we say one should wait at the minimum, 6 weeks before a re-test of blood following a T4 dose change, but what about a change in T3 if the T4 dose stays the same. What's the minimum we must wait?

Many thanks in advance 😃

Rather than a blood test, I think I would go by how 'I feel' on a particular dose before testing.

Yes I hope I might be in that position soon but just feel I want a kind of second opinion as I feel like it's been so long since I felt well, I can't quite remember what is feels like! And then as I get to know my self a bit better again I can go off how I feel more in the future if that makes sense!

Yes it does. Many of us have forgotten what it feels like to be symptom-free with no symptoms.

Hattie007,

Retest 6-8 weeks after any adjustment in dose or medication.

I use a Levo/T3 combination and I wait 6 weeks after changing dose of T3 before retesting.

Ok. Thanks all.
