[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1812363, member: 345386"] Doses are completely personal, although as you say, many GPs really just go with the assay ranges when deciding if medications are at the correct levels. A truly euthyroid person will be running at TSH of less than 1, and FT4 running a the high margins of the range. If you are in range, but still have symptoms, then ask your GP for a further increrement to your doase, or if he/she is very nervy about that, then even a 12.5mcgr (a sort of half step) could help ease their nerves. Do you specifically know you need the T3? Have you ascertained you aren't converting properly? [/QUOTE]
