And get FT3, FT4 and TSH tested together

Low FT3 can be linked to osteoporosis

tiredthyroid.com/blog/2012/...

If just on Levothyroxine, low FT3 is common problem

Testing regularly vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 important too

Also read up on importance of magnesium and vitamin K2 Mk7 supplements when taking vitamin D
