T3 therapy seems to not be working despite (reasonable?) diet. Since I started T3 monotherapy, total cholesterol has not dropped, basal temp has not risen (still around low 96s). Afternoon temp is usually mid-high 97s. Pulse has risen to ~80 bpm resting.

Ideas on further bloodwork to illuminate what's going on here?

Pre thyroid therapy bloodwork:
Total cholesterol: 247 mg/dL
HDL: 43 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 136 mg/dL
LDL: 177 mg/dL
PTH: 32 pg/ml
Prolactin: 7.3 ng/ml
TSH: 2.44

1 mo on T3 monotherapy bloodwork:
1 cynomel pill (25 mcg), taken 6.25 mcg/dose throughout the day with food

Total cholesterol: 258 mg/dL
HDL: 37 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 205 mg/dL
LDL: 182 mg/dL
PTH: 23 pg/ml
Prolactin: 9.9 ng/ml
TSH: 0.075

Diet: Few qts of low fat milk/day, fruits, honey, coffee as desired. Few eggs/day, and a few tins of oysters/wk. Small amount of gelatin daily (1 tbsp w warm milk in evening)
