Test results from May 2019:
Test results from July 2019:
So free T3 and free T4 have improved but are in the lower half of the reference range. Reverse T3 seems high. My morning temperature is above 97.3, but I’ve had a cold for the past few weeks, so that might have raised it. I’ve been supplementing iodine and using a water filter and feel far better than I did a few months ago. My face is less puffy, too.
I’m going to take an adrenal panel on August 4. I’ve read elsewhere that this fits in with thyroid function, but I’m not clear on how it does or what I should do if my adrenal function is off.
I have also read that hypothyroid can cause digestive problems, which I’ve suffered from for years. It would be terrific if improved thyroid function solved the problems.
So, my questions are
- Should I wait for my adrenal test results before trying thyroid medication?
- Can I expect improved digestion from improved thyroid function?

I do wish they sold it in 75mg capsules. Taking half a capsule is tricky.
When should I have another thyroid test done?

Yesterday, I emptied half the contents into a folded post-it note, which I used like a chute. I can’t swallow pills.
