so I can see I am over medicated. I know tsh is a bit irrelevant but is this even a bit low? I have never been in the 0.000’s before.

I am currently on 1 1/4 grain of armour and 75mg 3x per week and 100mcg 4x a week.

I am unsure whether to cut the armour back down to 1 grain and still with the t4 where it is.

I always notice once I increase from 1 - 1 1/4 grains of armour I immediately go over on t3.

I had vits done and I am working on low D and low iron. Supplementing

Perhaps you should go back to the dose you were on when you last posted results? I'm not sure what dose you were taking then although your FT4 was on the low side.

Both FT4 & FT3 are now too high.

Have you added anything for folate yet as not long ago it was only just above range.

Yes I am currently taking thornes b complex and three arrows iron.

Yes you are right far too high on both frees.

I was originally on 75mcg tiro and 1 grain armour. I went to A&E with really bad chest pain the other day… would explain my chest pain but they didn’t check my thyroid bloods as always

Perhaps then reduce the Armour by 1/4 grain and add in a little Tirosint?

yes I agree. I am thinking just cutting armour back down to 1 grain and tiro doing 100mcg 3x a week (instead of 4) and 75mcg the other 4 days. Hopefully will bring me down a bit but not too much
