Thoughts on blood test ? (Quite new to T3 meds)

Any thoughts regarding my latest bloods please?

I take 100 mcg T4 and 20mcg T3. My symptoms are nausea and brain fog. (I have an Underactive Thyroid).

Free T3 5.1 pmol/L (in range) (3.10-6.80pmol)L

THS 0.01 pmol/L (out of range) (range 0.27-4.20mIU/L)

Free T4 13 pmol/L (in range) (11-22pmol/L)

Many thanks.

Apologies for the late reply.

Free T4 (fT4) 13 pmol/L (11 - 22) 18.2%

Free T3 (fT3) 5.1 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 54.1%

How we interpret these results depends on how you took the test and your last dose of Levo & T3 before it.

Did you allow the recommended time of 24hrs for Levo & 8-12hrs for T3?

Did you stop any biotin containing supplements 4-7 days before the test?

Your FT4 is far too low. Likely you need to add 25mcgs Levo at this point.

What are you supplementing with?

What are your most recent results for ferritin, folate, B12 & d3?
