Determined to get t4 & t3 tested by nhs
So, followed the different courses to pursue this issue. Finally found the right PALS to complain to. Explained to them all of how I have been stuck on a low dose of levothyroxine because my tsh was high normal. How the GP is blocked from even requesting a T4 test thus won't prescribe more. Quoted

PMR Flare
So I think I might be in full flare. Last September, I was told to taper off pred. I ignored what I was told about being down to zero by the end of the year as I considered it unrealistic and went at my own pace. By mid Feb, I was hovering around 3/2.5/2 mg and by then, my legs, hips and back were

More advice please
Hi everyone, Further to my previous posts, I saw private Endo last week who won’t prescribe T3 until Short Synacthen test is done for borderline low cortisol of 248 and reverse t3 blood test done to confirm poor t3 conversion (???). I have been told today by his secretary (after arranging the tests

tsh too low on levo dose
Hi, I was trialling an increase of levo from 125 to 150. My tsh dropped from 1.6 to 0.09 ( range 0.27-0.42) and gp put me back down to 125. My t4 went from 22.5 just above normal range ( 12-22) to 25.5. Gp didn’t test t3 this time ( or the results aren’t back for it ) but my previous t3 was 3.6 when
