It looks like the doctor hasn't done the T3 on my latest bloods.

Free T4 16.1 pmo/L (9-24)

T S H 0.38 mIU/L. (0.34 -5.4)

Never been explained to me. I am taking 125 mg one day and 150 mg the next day. I've told the doctor that I'm still feeling tied and lack energy.

Can anyone give give advice please.

l-1958 Your FT4 isn't even half way through it's range so I expect your FT3 is low as well. If your GP can't do it then I suggest you get it done privately with a fingerprick test at the same time as FT4 so you can see how well you are converting. Blue Horizon Thyroid plus Three or Medichecks Thyroid Monitoring both do TSH, FT4 and FT3.

The aim of a treated hypo patient generally is for TSH to be 1 or below or wherever it is needed for FT4 and FT3 to be in the upper part of their respective reference ranges.

If you've not had antibodies checked I'd get those done too, there are other thyroid bundles.

Have you had Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin tested? Again, these are important because if they're not at optimal levels then thyroid hormone can't work properly. They come as part of a thyroid bundle too, Blue Horizon Thyroid plus Eleven or Medichecks Thyroid Check Ultravit.
