Retesting, and thanks

Thank you to this great community, thanks to everyone who replied, and I'm sorry if my inadequate posting of results led to more back and forth than i had been more efficient.

I will retest in six weeks, do I need to repeat the whole Advanced thyroid test or will Tsh T4 and T3 suffice

Thank you all very much

I would retest TSH, FT3 and FT4 6-8 weeks after dose change. Personally I like to wait full 8 weeks as it takes my body this time to adjust. I test key vitamins x2 year.

If you are able to do the full test again in 8 weeks you may see a change which would help you to know what to do for the future - change occurs slowly so don't alter your medication during this time unless your Dr advises it. If you have Graves disease there may always be fluctuations,
