Good afternoon everyone!
So basically I slowly introduced t3 into my daily meds. I started in May on 125mcg if levo and am now taking 75mcg of levo and 25mcg if t3(cytomel) which i split into 2 doses 1/2 early morning half in the evening.
Im currently holidaying in Algiers and decuded to go to an endo to check my bloods as I've been on this dose for several weeks now.
TSH 0.027 (0.270 _ 4.200)
T4 14.09 (12.00_22.00)
T3 6 (3.10_6.800)
The test was taken in the morning fasting around 10 hours after my evening dose of t3 and before taking my morning meds.
Is the T3 too high?
Im not having symptoms of bein hyper and actually feel much better then i have on years
The endo wasn't happy and said i should stop the t3 and reduce my levo to 50mcg and come back in a month 🤤. I literally laughed in her face and told her someone would have to come to me for the blood as I would be bed ridden. Unbelievable 😒
Thankyou all in advance

I need my FT3 around that level (I also need my FT4 higher in range too). So if you're not having symptoms, and you feel well, there is no need to reduce your T3. And to suggest reducing your Levo as well, when your FT4 is already near the bottom of the range, is sheer madness. They seem to have ignorant endos there too!
Just do your own thing, spend £29-£39 on a Medichecks Thyroid Monitoring Test in a few weeks' time to double check your levels, and ignore what this endo is saying.
Thankyou so much 😊
