I have bloods results back today 8 weeks after increasing eltroxin from 100 to 125, they are as follows,
Tsh 1.35(.35 - 4.94)
Ft415(8-22)
Ft33.44(2.63-5.69)
Ferritin 60(11-307)
B12 496(120-650)
Folate 15(3.1-19.9)
My question is this I am feeling better somewhat in last few weeks, but legs still weak and hot on exertion, still lightheaded, and sleep is all over the place. Should I increase Levo again or take iron to bring up ferritin from 66?
I have appointment with a new highly recommended endo in October, want to discuss t3 as I am 8 months post tt and feel I should be better.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I think ferritin is still low and will make you feel tired. Ask your Endo what is ideal range when you visit. You could ask your Endo about getting a blood test after supplementing to keep an eye on it.
You do actually need an increase in levo. Your TSH is still a bit high, your FT4 only just mid-range, and your FT3 not even mid-range. Could have something to do with your fatigue.
You should aim for the level that makes you feel well. That's the point of thyroid hormone replacement - keep increasing until symptoms are gone. But, the higher your levels, the smaller your increases should be.
