I have suffered with both under but had an over active thyroid for many years. I were being over medicated and my consultant dropped my dose and now struggling to cope.

Hi SlowDragon,
I am on 75mg of levo.
You wont remember but I were so over medicated I suffeed heart failure, my Levo was reduced from 150 to 75.
I am on 20mcg of Liothyronine.
I must add that I am under investigation in Gastro for absorbtion issues and have been diagnosed with Crohn's.
I hope your keeping stable and enjoying the sunshine. 😘 💐

So last dose Levothyroxine was 24 hours before test?
Day before test did you split T3 as 2 or 3 smaller doses with last dose 8-12 hours before test
When were vitamin levels last tested

so how many hours before test was last dose levothyroxine
Request increase in dose ……initially to 87.5mcg …
Retest 8 weeks later
Likely to need to increase again to 100mcg
Ft3 result is inaccurate as last dose too long before test
High CRP will falsely raise ferritin
Not surprising iron is low when dose Levo is too low
Iron supplements need to be four hours away from Levo and 2 hours away from other supplements
Taking iron with orange juice or vitamin C can help improve absorption
How much vitamin D are you taking ….and if it’s tablets or gels ….need to be at least 4 hours away from Levo
Are you also taking daily magnesium, afternoon or evening……at least 4 hours away from Levo
