TSH 2.66 mu/ml (.7-5.2) was 3.72 uLU/Ml (.27-4.2)
Free T4 1.5 was 1.3ng/dL (0.9-1.7)
Free T3 2.89 was 2.77pg/ml (2.57-4.43)
Reverse T3 = 20
My results didn’t move much with increased from 50 mcg to 75mcg so my doctor increased to 100mcg. He is leery on T3 because I’m 5’9 and my weight is at 105pds. I look awful. I feel better but definitely not normal. He says T3 would cause more weight loss. I’m stumped and hopeless. 😞I eat but where is it going?
Your FT3 is terrible. You likely have low stomach acid and malabsorption
Retesting after 6-8 weeks on 100mcg. Likely to need further increase (s) and/or addition of small dose of T3
Getting TSH around one or just under, FT4 towards top of range and vitamins all optimal
Do you supplement selenium, vitamin C or zinc?
Also as you are on high dose vitamin D, plus magnesium also read up on vitamin K2 Mk7

Dr Toft, past president of the British Thyroid Association and leading endocrinologist, states in Pulse Magazine,
"The appropriate dose of levothyroxine is that which restores euthyroidism and serum TSH to the lower part of the reference range - 0.2-0.5mU/l.
In this case, free thyroxine is likely to be in the upper part of its reference range or even slightly elevated – 18-22pmol/l.
Most patients will feel well in that circumstance. But some need a higher dose of levothyroxine to suppress serum TSH and then the serum-free T4 concentration will be elevated at around 24-28pmol/l.
This 'exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism' is not dangerous as long as serum T3 is unequivocally normal – that is, serum total around T3 1.7nmol/l (reference range 1.0-2.2nmol/l)."

Professor Toft recent article saying, T3 may be necessary for many otherwise we need high FT4 and suppressed TSH in order to have high enough FT3
