Low body temperature

I am struggling morning and late morning with body temperature and feeling very cold.

Late afternoon they pick up and I start to feel warm again.

My labs look good on T4 (25mg)/T3(60 mg) combination therapy but my vitals don't show this.

Can anyone advise?

Have you had your vitamins and minerals tested. B12, folate, ferretin and vit D. You are on an unusual combination of T3 to levo. I image your T4 is very low/ under range. Can you post your results?

You can get hypo symptoms if over replaced as well as under. You need to increase your levo and reduce your T3. I would't want my T3 over range. Hopefully other will reply with how best to do this. Is your levo a prescription and your T3 self sourced.
