I know my vitamins need some work but is it time to look at some t3 treatment. I've felt pretty yuck last couple of months and there have been suggestions that I need to think about HRT so that is another option.
Has my t3 went down because I'm not converting? My t4 hasn't moved very much either.
Bloods taken at 7am fasted with last levo taken 24 hours before.
Private endo wants both ft3 and ft4 in top 3rd of range so there is room for improvement in t4 as well as the obvious t3 issue.

I was considering just letting everything settle for a bit but was alarmed by the ft3 level. It's a real slow march this thyroid stuff but I'm not too keen on putting myself through the upheaval of another doseage change just yet. Its been quite full on and I'm trying to separate what is thyroid and/or perimenopause.
