My current Labs

Yesterdays lab results after 1 month and a week after Levotyroxine increased to 135
T4 Free - 1.2 (standard range .8-1.5)
T3 - 99 (58 - 159)
TSH 1.76 (.35 - 4.00)

What are your thoughts on my current lab results?  Im thinking about cancelling my appt ( i have to pay 15% of the cost of the appt) now because he will probably tell me everything is okay and to stay with my current dose.  Everything looks good right?

I feel GREAT!  I managed to drop 2.2 pounds on weight watchers last week and that put a big smile on my face.  I havent  dropped that much weight in a long time (since sep of last year).   I hope it continues and ill be able to drop the 30lbs i need to lose to reach my goal.  

I actually ordered a free T3 but they put the wrong ones in the lab order.  Since i feel good, ill cancel my appt for now, but ill retest my labs in about a month 1/2 and ill request Free T3.

How are you feeling?  Do  you have any lingering symptoms of hypo?  If so, which ones?

Your T3 (is that free or total) looks pretty low in the range. If it's total,  it's not very useful, so rather a waste of money.  If your lab report doesn't specify "free" then it's total and you should ask your doctor to order Free T3 along with Free 4 and TSH, every time you have blood work.
