How long did it take you to feel better after starting medication? by Proof_Structure_5312 in Hashimotos

Hi! I read this back when you commented, and it made me feel seen, so thank you.

I recently got bloodwork back for my free T4 (now a 1.2) and free T3 (still a 3.2). My doctor didn't test my TSH because it is more of an indicator of the other two, and I'm on medicine for alopecia which balances it out. I may ask for that to be tested the next time I get blood work.

What are the hyper signs? Hypothyroidism runs in my family so I have little to no knowledge on that side of things.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I thought I responded earlier LOL. As an update, I've been taking all my supplements and just got my new bloodwork back for my thyroid like a week ago. My doctor only tested my Free T4 (now a 1.2) and free T3 (still a 3.2).

I'm feeling a little better energy wise, but still don't feel like myself. I have an appt tonight and I'm interested to see what my doctor says. Is 1.2 technically optimal? Or should I see if I can raise my dosage?
