First I report the old data exams without taking anything (no t3, no t4)
I know we should also see tsh, anti-tsh, etc., etc. blablabla, but too much blood and too much money, so be satisfied with these.

Free-T3 2.36 pmol/l [reference values 2.62 - 5.69] - LOW
Free-T4 8.8 pmol/L [reference values 9.0 - 19.0] - LOW
Date: 2017-11-16
T3 0.7 nmol/L [reference values 0.9 - 2.4] - LOW
Date: 2018-02-10
Free-T3 2.06 pg/ml [reference values 2.30 - 4.20] - LOW
Free-T4 0.78 ng/dl [reference values 0.90 - 1.80] - LOW
I've been using EP-T4 for a long time now.
Generally, doctors often use weight as a guideline for determining dosage.
Some clinicians use the formula of 1.6 micrograms of T4 for every 1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds of body weight for a starting dosage as a replacement for your
thyroid.
I weigh 163 lb.
Therefore, 163 / 2,2 * 1,6 = 118,5 mcg (this would be a dose of replacement)
My dose is fixed at 150 mcg/ed (3 tabs/ed)
Below are the values of T3 and T4 taken on date 2019-08-22
Free-T3 3.40 pg/ml [reference values 2.00 - 4.40] - IN RANGE
Free-T4 22.5 pg/ml [reference values 9.30 - 17.0] - HIGH
PSL EP T4 legit or not? --> Blood Work says: YES!
