blood test after stopping liothyronine 5 mcg

[Suzi_]

my endo stoped my T3 based on low tsh 0.05( 0.35-4.94)level results, I am due to have repeat blood work in 2 weeks, what tests in USA should I ask for?

How do I find my post on this app?

Thanks

Often any amount of T3 can suppress TSH. Your Endo doesn't seem to understand this. Tests should then be based on FT4 & FT3.

How do you feel?

Tests you need are FT4 & FT3. Also key vitamins - ferritin, folate, B12 & D3.

Are you supplementing? When hypo we get low stomach acid that means we cannot absorb vitamins well from our food. For thyroid hormone to work well we need OPTIMAL levels of vitamins.
