Understanding the test results?

Four nights in a row I have been able to get back to sleep. I wake up once to go to the loo, back to bed and snooze until 6-7am. It is so good to get my sleep pattern back to the way it was. I put it down to lowering the T4 levothyroxine from 100 mcg to 25mcg. And reducing Liothyronine T3 from 50 mcg gradually down to 6.25 mcg.

When I woke up this morning I felt great and still do. The headaches have gone , so has the paranoia and anxiety. Lets hope it will last. Blood tests next week, must wait for results and ask someone to read them for me or teach me how to?

That sounds promising. Is this a private blood test or one at the doctors next week? We should leave 6-8 weeks after a dose change to retest as hormone levels need to settle.

Certainly post your results with their reference ranges, we can interpret and hopefully you will be able to start understanding how things work :)
