CHRONIC INSOMNIA

[Sami-M]

My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels.

In June 2024 I increased T3 from 18.75mcg to 25mcg and felt in sync & still 125mcg Levo.

Currently suffering extreme chronic insomnia, not slept in 2 weeks, even diphenhydramine did nothing. Now falling apart, even my skin hurts,

Any advice please ?

RESULTS : 28 May 2023

FT3: 6.18 pmol/l (3.1 - 6.8) 83.24%

You look over medication

Suggest you either reduce Levo by 12.5mcg daily

or

Reduce T3 by 6.25mcg

Retest in 6-8 weeks

I agree with SlowDragon—you look a little over medicated. My suggestion would be to drop your levothyroxine a little—your FT4 is higher (percentage wise) in range than your FT3 and for some of us, that causes some very odd symptoms, especially when both are towards the top of their ranges.
