Tsh 3.53 .norm 0.35/4.95. free T3 6.9.. norm 2.63/5.70. I have just cutdown nature throid dose now to 2 grains from 2.25 grains. On the day of the blood test I took meds at 9 am and test was at. 1 pm.
Any advice welcome. Do you know what else could raise T3 levels plse? Best wishes. S
You are undermedicated to have TSH 3.53. You need to raise NatureThroid dose, not reduce it. Most people taking NDT will be optimally dosed when FT3 is 4.65 - 5.70 and TSH is 0.35 - 1.0 or lower.
FT3 is high because you took NatureThroid before your test and the T3 in NDT was peaking in your blood. You should leave 8-12 hours between last dose and blood draw.
