Advice on blood resukts

Hi everyone,

I started a low dose of T3 in July (private prescription). I take 5mcg in the morning and 5mcg in the afternoon. I feel like a new woman! I also take 150mcg of Levo. I had my bloods done last week:

TSH 0.02 (0.27 - 4.20)

Free T4 20.9 (12 - 22)

Free T3 5.4 (3.1 - 6.8)

(I’m pleased that my Free T3 has improved since before it was only 3.9 and Free T4 had been 17.3).

The consultant wants me to see him to discuss dosage. I’m thinking probably a reduction in Levo as I feel that my Free T4 Level is a bit high?

Grateful for sage advice :)

How do you feel?

If you feel great, good or OK then DO NOT allow the specialist to muck around with your dosage. Remember taking T3 suppresses your TSH.

What about vitamin levels. Essential to keep these optimal.

Do you have Hashimoto's? High antibodies, if so are you on strictly gluten free diet
