what symptoms ( not bloodwork) presented themselves to suggest you needed some if only a low dose of T4… & unlike others on T3 only… you needed both to feel optimally…..rather than more T3/cytomel/ liothyronine???
Thanks so much!
Happy Spring!

Thank you for your support. Your reply & experience is so helpful. Just tried a small dose of levo to appease dr… & it caused acid reflux, bloat etc…. a reminder of why i finally found T3 only as my simple solution… except for the drs’ responses.
Hi I added T4 back when I couldn’t take anymore T3 (max 30mcg) I was under medicated on this dose but taking more increased cortisol and made me ill. I made incremental adjustments and settled on 100mcg T4 and 10mcg T3. It wasn’t straightforward getting here and I do have acid reflux but I’m now using lactose free products and will go gluten free forever after coeliac testing next month.
