Here are the results from my latest round of blood work, and the first since starting on 50mcg/day of Eltroxin. My TSH has come down since it was last tested, but is still not quite at that 1.0 range. @KSman I would greatly appreciate your feedback on my fT4 and fT3, as well as my rT3 once the results come in. I have a meeting with my endo to follow up on these results in a couple of weeks, and I’m going to ask her if I can try NDT. Or at least, include a T3 compound with the T4 as well. I’ve noticed no difference whatsoever in anything on just the 50mcg of T4. I actually purchased some pharmaceutical grade T3 (Tiromel) and may self-medicate with it if my endo refuses to give me NDT or T3. Thoughts?
