jax2005 If you post your latest test results, to include FT4 and FT3 done at the same time, members will be able to comment. Without them there is absolutely no way of knowing if you need it, how much you might need, and whether you need to reduce Levo. If you don't have recent tests then Blue Horizon or Medichecks do a basic TSH/FT4/FT3 for around £39ish.
