Test results from 29th AUGUST btw was that my free levothyroxine (free t4) was 21.3 pmol/l with the max normal range being 22.0 pmol/l....

So I probably had a kickass metabolism assuming I was converting to t3 correctly. ffs why did I mess with this lol.

Still no results back from medichecks regarding recent blood test. Should be here today any time. I am nervous.

Edit: FUCK

The blood test hemolyzed meaning no results.

Fuck it, strapped to the ride now. Will just get it done in 3 weeks time or so.

Hmm, this is odd.

I feel very warm in the morning a few hours after my dose however towards the end of the day I feel cold

Slept a little better last night

Been on 50 mcg now in the morning for 5 days now iirc.

Going to retake that test again soon to see what is going on. If TSH is okay then I will come off it entirely and should be fine.

Getting a bit concerned now. Morning temps are dropping and past 2 days I haven't hit 37.0 or over at all. Currently 36.7-36.9. Morning and night. Feeling very tired lots of brain fog. Lethargic. Cannot think much.

Blood results back on Monday so we can get some idea of where I am/was.
