Your iron/ferritin is much too low. That would account for some of your symptoms, certainly.

Your conversion isn't brilliant. Your FT4 has to be well over-range to give you a decent level of FT3. But your TSH is suppressed, so the odds are that your doctor is going to want to reduce your levo. Reducing your levo could, actually improve your conversion. But, if it doesn't, ask for some T3 to be added to your levo - or buy your own.

So far my Dr has agreed with all the advice I've been given on here.

What should I be asking him tomorrow? Should I stay on my current dose?

[greygoose in reply to catpurple7]

Tell him what I said, that reducing your levo slightly, might improve your conversion, but if it doesn't, would he be willing to add in some T3 because your FT3 is too low.
