Hi Mizzjaney88, not exactly sure what you mean by old symptoms, but I am assuming you are referring to symptoms of hypothyroidism. Just in case you are not aware of it, Levothyroxine (T4) is a precursor hormone. Normally, the body transforms T4 into the thyroid hormone T3 as needed. But for some people the conversion from T4 to T3 does not happen efficiently enough. In case you still feel rubbish and your FT4 levels and TSH levels are ok, it would be good to have your FT3 level checked as well.
