Dear Ma'm, yes I am MD and I am licensed to practise. now , as you have added cytomegalovirus you should have decreased thyroxine. Though there is no definite formula as to how much of thyroxine to cut down for how much of liothyronine, you must check your balance again and consult with fresh reports. then we can decide upon the dose. Regards!
