As this is your first post, members may be more inclined to provide any information if you give a little background information

Also BEFORE considering adding any T3 it's essential to get FULL Thyroid and vitamin testing

Low vitamin levels are extremely common and need correcting BEFORE starting any T3

You may simply require increase in Levothyroxine and/or vitamins improving

Also if you have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) diagnosed by high thyroid antibodies, majority of patients get significant benefit from strictly gluten free diet

If you add recent results and ranges members can advise on next steps

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also extremely important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if Thyroid antibodies are raised

Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)

Last Levothyroxine dose should be 24 hours prior to test, (taking delayed dose immediately after blood draw).

If/when also on T3, make sure to take last dose 8-12 hours prior to test, even if this means adjusting time or splitting of dose day before test

Is this how you do your tests?

Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or all vitamins

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have special offers, Medichecks usually have offers on Thursdays, Blue Horizon its more random
