From all my test results in my bio, it is known I am a poor convertor. From recommendations within the Group back in 2016 it was felt I needed to add some T3, which my Endo at the time wouldn't do because of my severe anxiety levels and he said it would have to be dosed very carefully.
I started the T3 back in 2016, fiddling with doses and first results below
****26th July **** - after adding 10mcg t3 on 30th June with 100 Levo (dropping from 125)
CRP 0.2 <5.0
Ferritin 100.4 (20-150)
FT4 19.38 (12-22)
FT3 4.74 (3.1 - 6.8)
TSH 0.51 (0.27 - 4.20)
T4 Total 115.3 (64.5 - 142.0)
Anti Thyroidperoxidase abs 393.5 <34
Anti Thyroidglobulin abs 261.7 <115
B12 873 Deficient <140
Insufficent 140-250
Serum Folate 15.68 (10.4-42.4)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the above results I was then advised to up T3 from 10mcg to 15mcg and drop Levo from 100mcg to 75 which I did on the 2nd August
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
***15th August**** - after being on 15mcg t3 and 75 Levo for just over 2.5 weeks
TSH 0.97 0.27 - 4.20 IU/L
Free T4 13.77 12 - 22 pmol/L
Free T3 H 9.34 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L
The above test then showed my T3 well over range with the 5mcg increase, and from those results I was advised to leave off my T3 for a couple of days and then start back on a lower dose which I did and then worked my way back up to the 10mcg which I am still on today.
All my tests still since then in my bio still show T3 not high enough in the range and the test result with the tiny increase showing me over range IS the reason why I have never tried increasing it again despite being recommended to so many times over the years, but the fear stopped me
DILEMA!!!
