I do not understand why my ft4 is below the limit. Ft3 is good but ft4 not.
I gained weight, my hair is dry and my voice is hoarse but I have more energy than on levo+T3 and my mood is ok. I can't find a balance. if I add some levo, joint pain, fatigue and anxiety begin. I'm tired of playing with the doses.

Obviously important to regularly retest vitamin levels too
What vitamin supplements are you currently taking
All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
Last 1/3rd daily dose T3 or NDT roughly 12 hours before test
Hi, my ft4 on ndt is 11,8(12-20) and ft3 is 5,6(3,4-6,8). I do not know how to raise my FT4 and FT3 remain the same. I tried to add 1/4 grain but it takes me to hyper. I think I'll eventually add levo and take some Lexapro to solve my anxiety.
The best I felt on nature-throid, my valeus was in range without any addition of levo. Now on thai-ndt the situation is not the same. I have no choice, I feel the best with ft4 in the middle of the interval but that means I have to add levo with its unpleasant effects .
No, but a small amount of levo doesn't help me, I don't know how to explain it to you. As if I feel low, I don't feel full. I think I need 50%levo and 50%ndt. No matter how I combine them I need 125mcgT4
