Feel even more undermedicated after taking T3

Hi,

I have just started taking T3 alongside my Metavive. This morning I took 6.25mcg of T3 in addiction to my usual Metavive dose. I now feel worse than I did before. My eyesight is very blurry, I have more brain fog and I have no energy at all. I just wondered if anyone could offer advise on this please.

These are my most recent blood test results, although they aren’t accurate as I took my last dose of Metavive at about 2pm the previous day, instead of 8-12 hours before the test.

TSH was 0.003 mIU/L (Range: 0.27 - 4.2)

T3 4.79 pmol/L (Range: 3.1 - 6.8)

Free Thyroxine 10 pmol/L (Range: 12 - 22)

Ferriton 41 ng/ml (13-150)

Serum B12 >2,000 ng/L (> 180)

Serum Folate 17 ng/ml (3.9-20)

Thank you.
