As your TSH was 11 on 75/100 I would suggest you stay on 100mcg

Perhaps add in just 6.25mcg for first week or fortnight, before increasing to 2 x 6.25. Then hold for 6 weeks and retest

How much T3 & T4 were you on before it was stopped?

I was on 75 t4 15 t3 5 mcg 3 tines per day I have already took it twice today 😩 anyway would you know what time would be the best to take it I take my t4 at 7.30 am

I haven’t had my vit d tested the last time I did it was 126 I think it was two years ago

Thanks slow dragon again for your help

It's pretty likely vitamin D dropped while you were not on T3.

How long were you just on T4 ?

If you have already taken it twice a day, then stick on it

But would recommend checking Vitamin D, B12, folate and ferritin if you don't notice much difference or pick up quickly

Ok will give that a try . I have been on t4 only from September past . I am supposed to get my bloods done on the 20th I will ask my gp if he will do full bloods to include the ones you’ve mentioned

Really appreciate all your help 😊

Do you know what your vitamin D level is?

If not, ask GP to test or test privately - very easy postal kit £28
