Below is my new lab and previous labs. 

         03/04/10 02/05/10 01/07/10 
FT4: 0.86         1.25         3.76 [range 0.73 - 1.95] 
FT3: 3.1           4.5           13.7 [range 2.3 - 4.2] 
TSH: 0.1          0.1            0.1 [range 0.3 - 5.1] 

03/04 CBC is a little bit low, 3.8 [range 4-11], liver panel is good. 

02/05 result shows that one liver enzyme, SGPT, is high. My value is 91 and range is 7 - 56. 

01/05 My CBC and Liver panel were fine as of 

My result at 11/29/09 diagnosis was 

FT4: 5.4 [range 0.58 - 1.64] 
TSH: 0.03 [range 0.34 - 5.60] 

I took 20 mg at first, to 15 mg after first lab, to 10 mg after 2nd lab. Currently I am taking 10mg MMI, since my FT4 is at the lower side, should I reduce MMI dosage again? 

To how much, 5mg or 7.5? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Chonkore,

Check with your doctor, but with your FT4 falling below mid-range you'd probably want to reduce your MMI dose to 7.5 mg daily. If after 6 weeks on that dose if FT4 is still below mid-range you could lower to 5 mg. The recommended maintenance dose is 2.5-10 mg daily and you want to use the lowest dose needed to keep FT4 at least at mid-range.

I wouldn't worry about your white blood cell count since it's not significantly decreased. Best, Elaine
