I’m in week 6 of a 12 week T3 trial. levo reduced from 200mcg to 100mcg and introduction of 20mcg Lio.
I transitioned easily over 2 weeks, so this is week 4 on the revised dosages.
I feel so much better, some changes are dramatic (mental acuity, appetite ), some are more subtle but equally significant.
I feel keen to get a blood test to know how the meds have changed my results - but wonder if it would be better to wait a further 2 weeks or more - closer to my next Endo appt .
Previously I had the cheapest test available - but am considering paying more for a complete view as I have been eating much better and I’d like to know how it all looks . I can’t easily afford to pay for multiple tests so would appreciate advice on recommended test and best timing .
For my next Endo appt he has only requested TSH, T4 and T3.
I’m also thinking about how I articulate all the positive changes at the end of the trial ….. I only really care about the blood results as a tool to back up my wish to retain the T3 prescription .I think it will be impossible to see the NHS result before I see the Endo again.
I would appreciate any advice .
