Dear all, for the last 3 months I've been taking 112 levo (eutirox) and 10ml T3 Liotir (liquid). A slight reduction from the 125 levo I was taking when I last posted.My results (using protocol advised here) are as follows:
Ft3 2.92 (2.30-4.20) 3 x months ago on 125 levo - 3.18
Ft4 0.93 (0.89-1.76) 3 × months ago on 125 levo - 1.07
TSH 0.03 (0.55-4.78)
Ferritin 46 (41-150 normal)
B12 524 (was 203 had some injections and felt great for a while! Tested for pernicious anemia but seems dietary)
I weigh 51kg now having put on a few kgs - for my weight my doctor says levo dose is still too high and tsh negligible - we know that's because I take t3 though she refuses to understand that. Need to change doc but at the moment im staying with her as atleast she prescribes the t3.
Symptom wise, I sleep better but feel generally lethargic, depressed, achey, puffy face, mild titinus - but my husband died at the end of november so obvioulsy ive been under stress and suffering, so its difficult to understand what is affecting what symptom wise - or probably its a combination of things.
From my results it would seem to me that I'm undermedicated - results for ft3 and 4 given above when on 125 levo but not a great difference? and I felt no different. Would it be an idea to increase t3 instead?
I am taking iron with vit c for the low ferritin which is creeping up, but everso slowly. Zinc is also near low end of scale at 864 (800-1600) at but copper ok (i was low) so I need to address that too. Vit d is ok - 100.
Any advice gratefully received. ThankYou
