Hi everyone, hope someone can help as I feel helples! I have put on 2 stones since 1 stopped taking T3 a year ago as my TSH was suppressed and as you can see from my results below they are still supressed. My endocrinologist wants to reduce my Levothyroxine medication and has reffered me to have a bone density scan. I have had a bone density scan 2 years ago and all was fine. He has refused to prescribe me T3 knowing that I am positive for the DL02 Gene. I would like to start back on T3 and wondered if someone can private message me, please!
Many thanks in advance!

Vit D is still too low. Both Vit D Society and Grassroots Health recommend a level of between 100 & 150nmol/L.
Yes, medicating T3 can make the TSH suppressed. And TSH may well stay suppressed due to reasons such as a down regulation of the pituitary-thyroid connection, meaning you might only function best with a suppressed TSH.
FT4 is over range & FT3 is over half way through range. Iron is only 11% through range and I think this is where the problem lies as increasing levels will make meds work better.
