test results

So after your great advise I have managed to privately source t3 medication and increase my dosage. As I only have lio tablets of 25mg I now take 6.25 in the morning and 6.25 in the evening. I still take 100mg Levi. I have added my new results. Please let me know your thoughts.

I’m seeing yet another endo on 23rd August so I want to be fully prepared and only trust this forum!

many thanks

Emma

Free T4 (fT4) 19.5 pmol/L (11 - 23) 70.8%

Free T3 (fT3) 5.3 pmol/L (3.9 - 6.8) 48.3%

How are you feeling?

How long before the test did you space your last dose of Levo & T3?

You have room for nother 6.25mcgs T3 if you feel you need it.

How are vitamin results?

What supplements are you taking?

Thanks for your reply. I’m actually feeling pretty good tbh. I’ve lost a stone in weight by doing 16:8 timed restricted eating and cutting carbs and sugar. I think adding the t3 and the eating habit change, I feel a lot better.

I’ve not had my vitamin levels checked for a few months but I will ask for that soon. I have been taking vit d/k2, magnesium, vit b complex and pro bio complex.

I took my Levo 24hrs before test and took lio 12hrs before test. Vit b stopped 1 week before test. Had test at 08:30am.

That all looks good. Up to you if you ask for a T3 increase.

Well done on the vitamins.
