needs to self medicate--Need Advise Vote: A or B or C

[Guest guest]

the last 4 months I was on

200MCG levoxyl with a TSH of 4.71 from a 1.5 weeks ago and doctor up

it to 212 MCG levoxyl.

Two day ago I got another lab test which is the one I already posted

yesterday

T-4 free 1.5 (range .8 – 1.8 NG/DL)

TSH 3.86 (0.40 -5.5 MIU/L)

T-3free 307 (range 230-420 PG/DL)

My TSH droped from 4.71 to 3.86 (current body temp now is 97.4 F)

The doctor said take:

reduce Levoxyl from 212MCG to 200MCG and add Cymotel T3 5MCG that is

a total of 220MCG once I convert the cymotel to T4 equvilent

curently stay per doctor (Option A)

200MCG T4 and

5MCG T3 (5x4 =20) total of 200+20 = 220MCG (97.5/2.5 ratio of T4/T3)

My propsal is to self medicate since I feel that the doctor gave me

very little T3. I would like to take:

Option B:

175MCG T4 and

10MCG T3 (10x4 =40) total of 175+40 = 215MCG (94.3/5.7 ratio of

T4/T3)

Option C:

200MCG T4 and

10MCG T3 (10x4 =40) total of 200+40 = 240MCG

I am leaning towards option B...but I am no expert. What do you

think? or am I jumping on T3 to fast? or do you have another

suggestions? (this is temp until I see another doctor whom can give

me Armour)
