Introduction and labs

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I'm 42 years old and I have been struggling with thyroid issues for the

past five years - I have Hashis, Graves and . I'm currently taking 112mcg of

Levoxyl and 40mcg of SRT3 split into two doses per day. I also take 5mg of

Tapazole which has reduced the Graves antibodies to low normal which is where

they need to be. This combo has my thyroid levels about where they need to be

but I still don't feel great much of the time. I saw another " wellness doc " a

couple of months ago and she ran all of the sex hormones. I've pasted my labs

below and would appreciate any commments or suggestions.
