now, what

After being on NT81 & levo25 for about 1.5yrs had symptoms indicated dose too strong - not sleeping well, anxious, antsy.  3/06 lab: FT4 1.04 (.82-1.77) FT3 3.6 (2.0-4.4).  reduction to 65NT only labs 8/10: FT4 .61   FT3  2.6   So levo 25 added back in and after being on this combo of 65NT & 25 levo I feel very good.
Problem is mobility issue has reared back.  When on dose that felt too high for me I had no gut motility problems.  Now that I feel good @lower dose the motility  thing has returned.   Diagnosed w/hashis about 13-14yrs ago and was on levo, only, until I found the great doc and forums 3yrs ago.  She treats me according to symptoms, not so much labs.  What's a girl to do?  Thanks

I think it would be interesting, too; however, I am leaving on a 2week vacation (rarity) end of week and want to wait until I return to get labs.  Still stumped on why my GI tract gets out of whack on 65 NT  Numbers are good for a baseline, symptoms drive the dosing for me- side  As usually, trial and error.  Seems to be endless, sometimes

You have labs from when you were on NT 81 mg and levo 25 mcg.  You have labs from when you were on 65 NT only.  I think it would be interesting to have labs drawn again on your current dose of 65 NT and 25 levo to see if either FT3 or FT4 could be adjusted a tiny bit so you reach a happy medium.
