Hi since I am a poor converter of T4 to T3 may I please be PM'd a source where to get it from. Endo removed my T3 in 2017. It was added to 75mcg levo after 175mcg levo showed poor conversion. Through the months have been on as much as 100mcg levo and 10mcg T3. I really think T3 is what I need as I am depressed all the time. Thank you!
TSH 4.66 (0.2 - 4.2)
FT4 14.7 (12 - 22)
FT3 3.4 (3.1 - 6.8)
Taking 25mcg levo

Please see your GP. Your endo was wrong to take you off 75mcg Levothyroxine + 10mcg T3 and discharge you without following up on your levels. I would be inclined to write a letter of complaint to the hospital PALS and ask to be assigned to another endo.
Most Hashimoto's patients can not do well on T3 without correcting low vitamins and addressing food intolerances. Usually gluten, sometimes also or dairy
