[QUOTE="Totto, post: 1401914, member: 91524"] Levo is synthetic T4 and T4 is the storage form. Did you get FT3 rested as well? In my opinion FT3 is the most important test as this shows something about what is actually going on, T3 being the active form of thyroid hormone that is tested. There are several others as well. Keeping tabs on morning temperature, blood pressure and resting heart rate are what we can do ourselves in order to check if the dose is correct. I do understand the sweating and such but as I'm 54 and suffer from other hormones or lack of them it's not always easy (as if it ever was!) to understand what is wrong. If I were you I'd skip a couple of doses in order to lower thyroid levels. Levo is T4 and it's a storage hormone so you don't need a daily fix. I'm on NDT, works much better for me than Levo ever did but it contains all the thyroid hormones so a completely different thing. [/QUOTE]
