Endo prescribed T3 but GP won't prescribe!!
I have had a long thyroid journey, starting in 1981 with hyperthyroidism following the death of my father. Fast forward to 2000 when I became hypo. Since then I have had varying amounts of thyroxine, and was happy on it until I had breast cancer in 2021. The anti-hormone treatment for preventing recurrence

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Thyroid and blood pressure association
Id welcome any views on the relationship between BP (high or low) & thyroid. A quick search on this forum indicates relatively little information but some anecdotal evidence that hypothyroidism can raise BP. But a scientific literature search is less clear (see below links & some key comments): https

Results since taking T3
I've just got my bloods back (protocols as per this forum followed). I am speaking to my endo at the end of Feb and would welcome some guidance please. I added T3 (continued with 75mcg Levo). First 2 weeks 5mcg x3 per day and then 10mcg x3 per day ever since. The first month on T3 was really encouraging

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

Increase needed but do I increase T4 or T3?
I have added liothyronine to my levothyroxine. My latest results indicate that an increase in one or the other is needed. Medichecks and Monitor My Health use the same ranges. 18.8.23 Medichecks (112.5 mcg levothyroxine only) TSH 0.101 mu/L (0.27-4.2) FT3 3.9 pmol/L (3.1-6.8) 21.62% through

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

Help Needed with Private Blood Test Results
Hello. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 after a year of miserable health. My doctor prescribed 50 mcg levothyroxine (Accord brand) and I started to feel better. In January I had my next blood test (NHS). I had this test late in the morning, after I had eaten, and after taking my medication

How long for ANA/ENA results?
I've had quite a few symptoms of what my GP suspects might be a CTD, spanning back about 10 years but lots more cropping up more recently. She's requested (I think) an ANA test and I understand from googling that if the ANA is positive it then gets sent for ENA testing as well? I'm not sure what the

T4/T3 Greece
Just got back from Greece and you cannot buy Dithyron over the count anymore. I went to numerous pharmacies and got the same answer it’s now discontinued and they have nothing like it. It seems to be a very recent occurrence. I’m wondering if I pay to see a private doctor there I could get armour

Covid advice
Has anybody got any advice on how to deal with Covid when on combination therapy? I've just gone down with it for the first time and I'm wondering if I should just continue as normal. Have a pretty high fever and heart rate...wd the T3 exacerbate this?

Latest Thyroid Results
My ‘thyroid journey’ has been an interesting one and now approaching its 4th year. I’m fairly convinced I don’t have autoimmune thyroid disease and relatively confident my adrenals play a big part in my symptoms, however it’s not just adrenals as I’ve tested myself on HC solo and it doesn’t work. Aaanyway

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux. It was shortness of breath that led me to seek medical treatment, and even though I had no wheezing or cough the hospital concluded it was
