You stopped the NDT too soon. As NDT contains T3, you should just leave a gap of 12 hours, so now you have a false low FT3. The actual level would be more like 5.346. So, just over mid-range. If you feel fine, it's good. But, plenty of room for an increase of 1/4 grain.

TSH is irrelevant.

FT4 is low because you're taking NDT.

Antibodies are negative, but one negative result does not prove you don't have Hashi's.

I take it that B12 test is an active test? If so, it's OK, could be higher, though.

Folate is fine.

Vit D3 should be more like 100.

Ferritin is much too low.

Thank you Greygoose.

Do you think my Rt3 is ok?

Shall i up my 1.5 grain of Ndt to 2 and continue taking vit d, b12 and Ferrous Sulfate?

Im feeling good, i think I'm about 90% of what i use to be.

These groups and the people are great!

I have just sent off blood for a full iron as i think increasing my ferritin could make all the

difference.

[greygoose in reply to Bubbles789]

Your rT3 is possibly creeping up due to your low ferritin. It's certainly not due to your FT4 level. Yes, increasing ferritin could make all the difference, as you say.

You should increase your NDT by 1/4 grain, not half a grain. Increases should be done in small amounts. But, only if you feel the need. If you feel good, leave your dose as it is.

How much vit D3 are you taking? And are you taking vit K2 - MK7 and magnesium with it?

How much B12 are you taking? And are you taking a B complex with it?

[Bubbles789 in reply to greygoose]

Im taking Betteryou vit d 3000ug spray, im not taking k2 -Mk7 or Magnesium.

Betteryou b12 1200ug oral spray. No B complex

[greygoose in reply to Bubbles789]

You really should add in vit K2, magnesium and a B complex. Nothing works in isolation. They work much better with their co-factors.

[Bubbles789 in reply to greygoose]

Ok i will add those.

Thank you for your help. X

[greygoose in reply to Bubbles789]

You're welcome.

[Bubbles789]

Sorry.

Last question- what type of Magnesium should i get?
