Latest results on 100+15 t4+t3

Ft4 19(12-22)

Ft3 5.6 (3.6-6.3)

Would it be safe to increase levo by 12.5?

I'm feeling so much worse now the weather is colder

Well, personally, I'd increase the T3 by 5 mcg, rather than the levo. Presumably you're taking T3 because you are having problems converting T4 (levo), so what's the point of adding in more, when your FT4 is already up at the top of the range.

Tried that but suspected that was too much t3..

I have started to work and have a stressful job. Think that might have caused me to need more meds.

OK, then. Try increasing the levo and see what happens. :)
