Hello, I have not changed my dose but it appears my body is making better use of the thyroid hormones . . .what's you take and do I ask for more?

I'm currently on 112mg of Levoxl 6 days week with 20mcg of T3 (i'm here in USA)

I'm thinking of asking to have 100mg of Levoxyl 7 days a week + the T3.

I don't think she'll go higher. I've been taking HCL with pepsin 1000mg and Digestive enzymes with every meal along with being dairy/gluten free and taking lots of vitamins. I still feel hypothyroid, cold during day, muscle aches, low threshold for activity compared to a normal person.

Results:

October 2018

TSH 0.49 (0.34-4.82)

Free T4 0.94 (0.59-1.61)

Free T3 2.83 (2.3-4.2)

Jan 2019

TSH 0.54 (0.34-4.82)

Free T4 0.99 (0.59-1.61)

Free T3 3.21 (2.3-4.2)

I believe you should be taking your medication 7 days per week. Because you are consistently missing one dose every week it could be as simple as that but on the same dosage. Your FT3 is too low to feel well.
