Sorry about the spelling errors or missing letters. I was doing it on my phone with EXTREMELY small font I could barely read. I guess I won't do that again if I can wait to use a "real" computer!
I agree that your T4 meds won't reach their full potential in your blood for another couple of weeks.
Assuming that the ranges for both tests are about the same, your FT4 has gone up a little, which is good, but it's still just barely in range. You'll probably find that will have to be close to midrange before you feel well.
Your FT3 hasn't moved much at all, which isn't unusual. FT3, which is the test that correlates best with symptoms, often lags behind FT4 a little.
How long ago was your RAI?
It does take lots of patience. When you got your results, did your doctor indicate if he thought an increase was in order?

You are below range or near the. Dry rock bottom. Many people here would feel horrible with those numbers!
T4 med you are taking take up to 6 weeks to stabilize in the blood stream so you still have time yet to feel anything. And e en the. Understand this may be only a start of a series of increases. This is really the best way to go. Slow & steady. It is however frustratingly slow when you feel Terrible
Watch out for a dr who will only prescribe dosage to only get into the range e en though you still do not feel well.

I don't have reference range for march 11th I forgot to ask this morning, but they always mail me copies of results, and honestly as much as I want to know I don't feel like talking to them right now, I have been on levothyroxine 25mcg for a little over 2 weeks now. with having antibodies of both hashis and graves, the diabetes and my uterus issues, I am REALLY tired wore out, the hyper mode I was in for so many months just wore me out I suppose..?? I don't have a whole lot of motivation. headaches are coming back. weight gain due to water retention, then today I weigh less I use natural diaretics throughout the day, every day.. ive slowly been working out zumba or dance games with family but not consistently. my focus is off a lot!!!! saw a gastro., yesterday I have gastropereisis he said no lactose for a week and took me off fiber supplements. I love cheese yogurt chocolate but its a week so we will see, I just don't like the bloating nauseating feeling all the time. AND IM DIZZY again bad, sick of drs though.. that should sum up how I feel a lot of detail to basicly say wore out/tired irritable/frustrated, but grateful im moving forward after the RAI treatment,
Oh and the goiter still there easily seen also???
sorry I tend to ramble maybe that's the only part of hyper symptoms I have left besides my nails growing so fast!? =)
