This result is after me stopping all T3 & Levo for 6 weeks then Levo only (100mcg daily) for the last 6 weeks. Waiting on Endo getting back to me. Thoughts please.

Endo may want you to reduce due to your TSH result but remind him TSH is from the pituitary gland and not the thyroid gland. Your FT3 is very good and FT4 just slightly over. I hope he doesn't adjust your dose but the 64 dollar question is, 'How are you feeling?"
He may want you to adjust but due to your TSH and slightly reduce dose but you can take the following along with you as it is by a scientist/research on thyroid hormones.
I guess he wanted to start off with no drugs in my system to get a true picture of what was wrong. Endo's secretary phoned me today to ask me to reduce to 75mcg of T4 and retest in 6 - 8 weeks. Here we go again :/
I felt tired, bloated and very forgetful with lack of concentration so after last blood draw I started adding 12.05mcg T3 to the 100mcg T4 and just starting to feel more like myself again (definitely not feeling over medicated) but I guess I have to go with this at least for the next 6 weeks or so as I am afraid the Endo will wash his hands of me
