Sorry, but before anyone can help you, you're going to have to give us the ranges that go with those results. Ranges vary from lab to lab, so we need those that came with your results.

100 mcg of T4 is enormous. Many people are unable to convert T4 into T3, in which case T4 accumulates and causes poisoning of the body. Simply stop the T4 and in a few weeks everything will be back to normal. The T4 should be increased gradually to see what tolerance is, and certainly not 100 mcg all at once.

You also have a shortage of T3, which should be at least 5.2. This also means that T4 is not being converted into T3.

I take 6.25 mcg of T3 every 3 hours with food to slow down absorption. And I take T3 and T4 at bedtime. But the amount is individual for each person. You should never take more T3 than you need. Never take more than 10 mcg of T3 at a time.

Kris , " shortage of T3 , which should be at least 5.2"

you are jumping the gun a bit ,some lab ranges are different , if you check out edleenia's previous posts , you'll see the range for their previous fT3 tests is [2.5-3.9] .... if this latest test is from same lab, then 5.2 would obviosly be too much T3.

Not what you're looking for?
