ft3 and t3 the same thing?
hi is Ft3 the same thing as T3? I think here in Scotland we only measure Tsh and t4, t3 (I think) at a push if requested but hard to get at GP. In England is it Ft3 I’ve seen on posts. That’s why I’m asking if they’re the same measurement. I’d like to know how well I’m converting and if not if I can

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose

need guidance
Hello all, I'm new here. I was researching and came across this group. I'm asking for advice actually for my daughter. Here is the story. My daughter as a child was slightly overweight at age of puberty. When she was about 20, we went to a dr who ordered a thyroid US. Results multi nodules. No big concern

Looks Like My Cholesterol Is High, Yikes
I've spent the best part of the day at my local hospital today. I saw my GP as I'd been experiencing increasing shortness of breath over the last week or so and as I had pericarditis last summer I think they wanted to be sure it wasnt anything similar. So I got sent to the one stop shop aka SDEC, same

T3 (Cytomel): How would you fit it in these results? Or would you? And all the mistakes I have made on this journey
Latest results (overjoyed to be finally here) - TSH .74 (.32 to 4) T4 14 (9 to 19) T3 4.2 (2.6 to 5.8) I am on 262.5 mcg levothyroxine (Note: In 50s so 50×5 & 1/4 of a 50) I feel what I would deem pleasantly okay. Always have felt the best on NDT, but I needed so much I could no longer afford it. And

My Gabapentin Dilemma
Help! I need some advice regarding my Gabapentin treatments. This is my first post so I hope I don’t ramble too much. I’m over 70 years old with RLS for over 30-40 years. Fortunately I don’t have RLS attacks during the day but have them almost every night after I fall asleep. On high doses of Gabapentin

What to do about lower than expected test results?
I’d value some advice about what to do regarding my most recent test results: TSH: 0.02 (0.27 - 4.2) FT3: 4.6 (3.1 - 6.8) 40.5 % FT4: 18 (12 - 22) 60% This was on 125mcg Levo five time a week; 100mcg twice a week and 10mcg of Lio a day. Test done per guidelines here. I reduced it from 125mcg Levo

help with results
hi, my husband has Graves and has been in remission since 2019. He checks his thyroid via Medichecks every few months. His thyroid results are good but in January his thyroglobulin antibodies crept up. He repeated it in March and the results were: Thyroglobulin antibodies- 116 (0-115) TSH 1.89 (0.27

My Endo Consultation Disaster…. No T3 for me.
Hello everyone, feeling like I want to scream into a pillow this morning! I had my private consultation yesterday and not only wouldn’t he prescribe me any T3, he is also going to write to my GP to reduce my Levo prescription!! So it was all a bit of a disaster really. I showed him my Blue Horizon

Newbie trying to get off Pram
I've been on 2x 0.088 for a while. Compared to what I've been reading on the forum it sounds a low dose....I think.I started augmenting so managed to get Gaba from GP the other day. GP said I could come straight off Pram but I've taken 1 x 0.088 tonight with 300mg gaba. It's 02.15 and my legs are going

Advice Needed Following Test Results
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 and started on a 50mcg dose of Levothyroxine. In March this year, my GP increased this to 75mcg (50mcg Accord and 25mcg Mercury Pharma). This week I took a private blood test to check my latest thyroid and vitamin status. These are my latest thyroid
