Ft3 2.9 (2.3-4.2) was 3.2 when I was taking 7.5 mcg of t3. For this test I had taken 10mcg for 3 days
Vitamin B12. 578 (200-1100) was 755 nov 2018
Vitamin D 53 (20-100) was 34 in July. Am taking a supplement
Ferritin was tested but the lab sent a note saying it would take longer to process. I don’t remember that happening the last time I had ferritin done which was in July. Result was 81 (18-204)
I’m currently on my third day of 75 mcg levo and 5mcg t3. When I moved from 7.5 to 10, my symptoms were worse. My doctor lowered t3 and increased levo from 50 to 75.
Thoughts? As always thank you

Yes, it was a split dose. I had started to be able to get out of bed occasionally until I took the 10mcg. The weakness and shaking were horrid so she lowered the t3 and raised the T4. I will stay on the 75/5 for the six weeks. Not sure what to do if that doesn’t work. I’m not tolerating the t3 well.
The first testing was done after being on 50 of levo and 7.5 of t3 for 4-5 weeks. I’d asked for t3 testing to be done at the same time but it didn’t happen. She raised me to 10 of the t3 and I had to go see her. I was in pretty bad shape. That’s when she agreed to test the t3 and lowered the dose.
Obviously, too many changes and I’m chasing my tail. Just worried if I can’t convert how I’m going to tolerate more t3. Is it possible the increase in T4 will help or do I absolutely need the t3?
