HI
I have been on natural desicated thyorid for a while. my FT4 is always low on this stuff. I tried adding a tiny amount of synthetic T4 and i have been getting horrible diarrhea. which is strange becasue last year i was on T4/ and T3 synthethic and no diarrhea.
there are alot of different schools of thoughts on thyroid labs/levels and medication. i was hoping to try getting my ft4 up a bit to see if that helps at all.
these labs are at 2 grains at 18 hour post last medication. I have some labs at 3 grains too and ft4 was only a tad higher TSH was alot lower. ft3 was lowish too. .however when i do labs at 8 hours post my ft 3 levels look good. i am really at a loss here as to what to do next.
any help would be so appreciated. thank you !
FT4 .80(.82-1.77)
T4 DIRECT 6.1 (4.5-12.0)
T3 105(71-180)
TSH .031L
