A couple of months ago I reduced my T4 (again) as my results were out of range and I had been feeling very tired.
These are my latest results after taking 100mg T4 and 25mg T3:
TSH - 0.005 (0.27 - 4.2)
FT4 - 16.5 (12 - 22)
FT3 - 6.26 (3.1 - 6.8)
Obviously I ignore the TSH level as this has been 0.005 on every single test since taking T3.
Are my T4 and T3 levels now optimal?
How are you feeling ceedee81?
Still a bit tired compared to say 6 months ago. But I feel better than I did 2 months ago. Some days I am exhausted and just want to sleep but others I can go out and run for a couple of hours.
My results seem to stabilise for a couple of months and I feel great, then they go off the scale and I feel crap again. It's like after 2 months or so, my body thinks something isn't right and goes haywire.
Like Slow Dragon said, if you feel tired with your ft4 dropping, you may need to up the Levo a bit, to 112.5 maybe? It's very individual. I mean, just looking at labs, they look fine. Also, did you have increasing ft4 each time you reduced after a while?
How do you feel and what are your vitamin levels like?
If FT4 continues to drop at next test, you may need a tiny tweak upwards.
Useful website for working out percentage through range
Thankyou for that. I'm not sure how the website works. It keeps saying I've entered incorrect data?
First box - your FT4 result.
2nd box bottom of FT4 range number
3rd box top of FT4 range number
Etc
Press calculate - gives % of each through range
Ok so should I be aiming for 100%?
My FT4 is 45% and FT3 is 85.41%
Definitely not 100%
But everyone is individual where they need FT3 and FT4
Some people cope with or prefer lower FT4. Others need it 60-75% through range
You say FT4 has dropped since you reduced dose. It may go on dropping, in which case you might need very tiny dose increase in Levothyroxine to keep it from dropping too low
FT4 45% [ wynik 16.5, norma (12 - 22)]
FT3 85.41% [ wynik 6.26, norma (3.1 - 6.8)]
Have you ever tried decreasing t3 a little, back when your t4 was a bit higher? I personally am very tired with high t3, but again, it's quite individual
I haven't no. I read somewhere that T3 should be as high as possible within range. Also it would be very hit and miss to try and cut the tablet into quarters accurately.
It depends, I can't have it high personally, this is just general range and everyone has different thresholds , hard to say.
Just an example. When I overdosed my ft3 was top range and for many months I have been feeling increasingly tired and also with hypo symptoms, which was weird! We are all so different. Another example, I had to lower t4 recently to feel like a human, it was too high even though it wasn't out of range. So weird
