FT3 is fine but your FT3 may go down a bit more. I would take temps and

pulse for the next couple weeks and see if thye hold.

They look pretty good for T3 only

There will still be some of that 100 in the reading there I suspect.

Although we say it takes 3 days for T3 levels to stabilize after a

change that's really for small changes, a big drop like that would

probably be more like a week for stability

Gut feel is you will need more to stabilize things. After I cleared I

needed a couple of weeks to find my stable place

Temperature and pulse may be a good guide here

That's where it's expected to be
