Gone too far in reducing

My TSH is 3.84 (0.27 - 4.20) I did feel a couple of weeks ago that I had reduced too much.

I have no FT4 or FT3 Labs decision.

I dare say it will be back to increasing 25mg extra every week.?

I should have left the dosage when my TSH was 0.9 but I have always felt comfortable lower than that.

Thank you for reading.

It's best to take notice of our clinical symptoms. In theory and if on the correct dose we should have no symptoms at all. Mine have resolved.

I am not medically qualified but as you've reduced your dose, just increase slowly back to the dose you felt well upon.

Before blood tests were invented (to make more profits for the companies) we were diagnosed upon our clinical symptoms alone and prescribed NDTs (natural dessicated thyroid hormones).

Just increase your dose slowly every week. We don't need to rush.
