For starters, the 60mg is at one grain, and it might need to have been titrated to get T4 and T3 serum levels at a good level where you were seeing benefits. Right now your FT4 is at 10% of reference range, but no FT3 or Reverse T3. I can't imagine your FT3 is going to look too much better, but would like to see it.Some other factors would have been making sure there is sufficient selenium and iodine in your supplement regiment, as well as ensuring there are no complications with cortisol, iron, ferritin, D3, and some of the electrolytes that help keep thyroid hormone converting and getting into the cells effectively. Just looked back up and see you have selenium on the list, and B12 is definitely a winner as well. On a side note with B12, I find methylcobalamin to be the best choice when choosing between cynacobalamin, similar to my preference on NDT to the synthetic T4 only treatments for thyroid.Good to know on the MTHFR discovery. Keep an eye on your iron, and possible copper elevation that can effect ferritin levels to decrease. It would be good to see your current iron serum, TIBC, ferritin & magneisum, along with the thyroid labs: FT3, FT4, Reverse T3, and another TSH at the time of these labs. The MTHFR defect can also cause other imbalances, inflammation and other complications that can promote undesired stress. Knowing MTHFR is evident, would probably be good to know how your adrenals are functioning (?) ...</blockquote>
