hi everyone,
advice welcome for my recent Medichecks test please.
I introduced 6.5mcg of T3 in September and took my levo down to 75/100 on alternate days, I hoped this would increase my % of T3 as I am a poor converter and have two copies of faulty DIO2 gene. I also hoped this increase in T3 would help to bring my cholesterol down which has been creeping up over the last couple of years.
Well my T3 is actually down slightly and my cholesterol is up again!
I have attached my results for T3 and T4 as well as total cholestorol and LDL. HDL is up very slightly from last test and Triglycerides are back in normal range.
I feel better since introducing T3 but I’m disappointed it’s not had more of an impact on my bloods.
Now I’m thinking to increase the T3 to 12.5mcg a day and potentially increase T4 to 100 every day? Or maybe just increase the T3 and keep T4 on 75/100?
My vitamin D is still bouncing around at bottom of range so I’m going to increase to 3000iu a day as I’m currently taking 2000iu, I assume that’s safe?
I also had reduced Haemocrit being just under range and I’ve no idea what that means and if I should be worried? So advice welcome there
Thank you in advance!
