Are you going to do what was suggested last time, ie reduce T3 slightly and increase Levo a bit? I think that could help, plus of course improving ferritin and Vit D.

Thanks, I purchased the vit D tablets and the B12 ones that were recommended to me on my last post, haven't started taking them yet as I thought he would request more bloods. I want to try your suggestion of reducing T3, and increasing levo, but I know my docs won't increase the levo based on the letter and if i increase I will run out before my next prescription is due, unless I buy privately, but never done that before?

It's easy enough to buy Levo, generally from the same suppliers as T3. If you don't know of any make a new post asking members to recommend someone to you in a private message.

I think you went to the same endo as a close friend of mine! She had a ft4 of 10 (12 - 22) and he said ‘all fine’. Soo frustrating. She’s self medicating now. Sorry I should say self sourcing or it sounds like she’s turned to the bottle. Although that would be understand able!!
