Well you're missing a FT4 and rT3, but if your FT3 is from Quest, the range is

230-420, and you're at 323, which means you have room to raise your dose, if

necessary. You don't have any hypothyroid symptoms at all? Like cold hands or

feet, body temp less than 98.6 in the afternoon, pulse under 70, cracked or

peeling heels, dry skin, thin eyebrows, especially outer third?
