Results Advice!

I’m looking for some valuable advice on my recent blood results please, all protocol for testing was followed.On advice from my last results I dropped my levo to 75mg two days a week, so I currently take 100mg of levo 5 days a week, two at 75mg and 20mg of lio a day, I’m feeling relatively ok but I’m still waking between 3&4 am which,I think, is contributing to my lack of energy, this week I started taking my levo and 10mg of lio at 4am then a second dose of 10mg of lio at 12noon to see if that would help, I previously took 10mg of lio at 4am, second dose of 5mg at 12 noon and the last dose of 5mg of lio at 8pm ,if anyone could suggest other dosing I’d be very grateful🙏

Free T4 (fT4) 17.4 pmol/L (12 - 22) 54.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 5.4 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 62.2%

FT4 is slightly low. You could try 100mcg Levo 6 days a week & 75mcgs 1 day a week.

Vitamins all look good. Well done.

Hey there -

I can't help as I don''t take a T3/T4 combo but just impressed with how far you have come - as it now looks more like a case of just fine tuning -

I hope you are aware of some positive outcomes from all the effort you have put in and that your health and well being are improved :

Are you on gluten free and/or dairy free diet?

Or tried either

I’ve tried both, I eat mostly fresh cooked meals, I do have a very physical job so if I’m not getting enough sleep that can impact.

Not what you're looking for?
