[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 68345, member: 12687"] Hi tarnation, The addition of levothyroxine (T4) was a perfectly reasonable addition given your levels, however clinical response is always the "trump" card (no pun intended). Your FT3 still has quite a bit of room for improvement and your rT3 is gradually coming down. At this point, given your apparent sensitive response to T4 (levothyroxine), I would discontinue the levothyroxine and substitute T3 (liiothyronine) 10mcg po qAM to determine if your symptomatic/subjective response is different...and recheck labs in 6 weeks. The elevated thyroglobulin AB simply indicates a protein level auto-immune component, which typically (but not always) means more aggressive management is needed for symptom resolution. You can forward this thread to office staff for inclusion in your chart and to proceed with the regimen changes once uploaded to chart. [/QUOTE]
