Blood test results: what to do next plus should I tell my endo?

[WaystarRoyco]

Thanks everyone for your advice here over the last months. I’ve been on 125mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg T3 for 7 weeks now (up from 100mcg three days and 125mcg four days) and did this blood test last week, following your protocol:

TSH: 0.01 (0.27 - 4.2)

FT3: 5.5 (3.1 - 6.8)

FT4: 21.6 (12 - 22)

Iron: 21.2 (6.6 - 26.0)

Folate: “pending”

Vitamin B12: >256 (25.1 - 165)

Vitamin D 155: (50 - 200)

I feel quite a bit better than when I first posted. I’m not feeling as tired in the morning when I wake up, indeed I’m sleeping better. Overall just feeling somewhat more like myself, though I definitely went through a dip for the first four weeks or so of taking the extra amount.

What do you think I should do now?

Also, I’m due to see my endocrinologist on Wednesday. Should I fess up that I’ve upped my dosage?

Please always tell your doctor or endo. They have to sort out your personal 'jigsaw' and it doesn't help if pieces are missing.

I would say you increased dose …..with broadly positive results

Retest again in another 8 weeks
