Default High FT3 - question...

Just wanted to ask a question about my high FT3 (Quest Lab range 230-420)--my FT3 was 559. I've been taking 112 Levoxyl now for quite awhile, but my Cytomel was upped to 75 mcg's (3 25's/day). Of course I'm now concerned about the high FT3 but have to say that I feel great--no more draggy, tired feeling--that 'barely alive' feeling.

Has anyone here had a similar situation?

When I asked my Endo about the high FT3, he just told me that 'he treats patients, not numbers'. I guess I finally found someone who listens to how I'm feeling, and I haven't had any of the 'overdose' symptoms from the Cytomel--but I'm sure this doesn't mean I'm on the right dose.

Thank you for any information you can share!
Carol
