Those results suggest that you are overmedicated with T3 and undermedicated with Levo. I would consider reducing T3 to get FT3 back into range, and increasing Levo to get FT4 back into range.
As for remembering your supplements, why not make a spreadsheet, keep it out in the kitchen where you can see it, tick off when you take your supplement.
I find Levo has no impact on my symptoms which is why i phased it out for the T3 - even now my temperature is low, heart rate low, bp low but I am less lethargic than T4 😕 I have no idea and have yet to find a useful gp and the Endo is unavailable until June.
Oh I can walk past a large sign reminding me to give my child lunch money ... I can forget to tick a box 😕 Hashi menopause brain!
I have an appt on Saturday and would like to request a trial of b12 as I am symptomatic. I already double the dose of b12.
I know that I will be asked to lower my dose and likely to have T4 script reduced.
No matter how much I read and look into it I cannot retain the information I find.
I haven’t tried ndt - I did debate it a while ago and can’t remember why I swayed to T3 with T4. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten to the bottom of it all and feel like i need to start from scratch again
Do you really mean 100mcg T3 and 50mcg T4 or is it the other way around? 100mcg T4 and 50mcg T3?
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. Last dose of Levothyroxine 24 hours prior to test, delay and take immediately after blood draw. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
If/when also on T3, make sure to take last dose 8-12 hours prior to test
Is this how you do your tests?
How do you take your T3? As split dose every 8 hours? Or as single dose?
I’ve always gone by temp and pulse - both of which are low my temp is around 36 usually below and my pulse at rest is 50 (I am not fit anymore either as I damaged my hip and can no longer run or swim) surely if overmedicated these would be higher?
I have pulled out of surgery as I cannot cope with the worsening of symptoms afterwards and I have allergies to morphine and some anaesthetics which makes everything a pain in the bum
