Would somebody be able to have a look at my blood results and advise me please.
I am on Levo 88 mcg (3 days a week) and 94 mcg (4 days a week), at 5 am and 9 pm - 44mcg at 5 am and alternating at 9 pm either 44 mcg or 50 mcg.
Also I take Lio T3 6.25 mcg (2 x a day) at 6.45 am and at 3:45 pm.
I also take Lenzetto and Progeffik at 11 pm every night.
28.06.2023
TSH 0.033 ( 0.400 - 4.2 )
TF3 3.0 ( 2.1 - 4.4 ) 39.13%
TF4 1.7 ( 0.700 - 1.8 ) 90.91%
Have been feeling much better but in the last week or two symptoms are creeping back. Eyes are bothering me and have been getting progressively dryer, patches of eczema on face and hands, skin much dryer and my poor feet are getting painful again.
My resting heart rate is back at 55, 54, 53 where as when it hits 63 I feel much better and my feet feel good.
Do I need to raise my T3 and if so, should I reduce Levo slightly? and if raising T3 would I do a separate 6.25mcg or just double up and take 12.5mcg in one of my time slots?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Best wishes to everybody.

So thats the correct timing to show stable blood levels of each hormone.
Adding a separate 6.25mcgs at bed time would be good and dropping Levo slightly.
Your Vit D is far too low. Needs to be 100-150 for best use of thyroid hormone. Buy one that includes vit K2 to help it go to your bones. Some are available in oil or you can take it with an oily meal for better absorption. Use this calculator to work out how much to take to get your level to 100-150. wildatlantichealth.com/vita...
Thee Better You mouth sprays containing K2 are popular.
Thank you for your response and all the great information and about the T3.

Ferritin 117.5 ( 50.0 - 200.0 )
Folate >20.0 ( >15.0 value ideal )
Vitamin B12 >2000 ( injections )
D3 42 ( 30 - 100 )
I am working on my vitamin D.
So I split levo to twice a day as all in one go made me a bit headachy. Also it brought my TSH up a little but that is still low. For doing the blood test I took my levo in one go and again I had a backround headache most of the day.
I have levo tablets in 88mcg and 50mcg. When I was on just 88mcg it wasn't enough so after I tried 100mcg I felt buzzy within a couple of days. So I reduced to where I am now and this feels better.
I have a B12 deficiency and am on B12 injections so that complicates things. Over the last couple of weeks my skin and eyes have got much dryer. I can feel myself slowing, energy levels down, heavy legs and swollen ankles. Pressure in my neck which went pretty soon after starting levo is now back at times.
Weight has always been a struggle to keep on (I have various intolerances and cant do dairy, gluten or fruit), the levo and B12 seem to have stopped that weight loss pressure.
