How Do Those on T3 or Combo Therapy Navigate TSH Obsessed Doctors
After my pitiful NHS results in December ( before starting self sourced T3) my GP increased my Levo to 200mcg a day. I haven't been taking that much, obviously as I'm taking 150mcg of Levo and 12.5mgs of T3. The GP I spoke to said retest February and unfortunately my surgery have been uncharacteristically

how long for levels to adjust before blood test - Ndt user
hi I was wondering if I could get some advice. I use Ndt on top of thyroxine because it works better for me but gp won’t prescribe it and I’m no longer under my consultant. Taking the dose the consultant prescribed but because I can’t guarantee supply of Ndt now I’m sourcing myself I worry that if I

Reference ranges
A quick question while you're having your cornflakes ( or fasting for a blood test 😊) if anyone knows the answer: Every day there are posts from people whose TFTs are within the reference range for the lab. And every day there are comments along the lines of 'your TSH / T3 / T4 should be higher [u]

Still Looking for Suggestions
So my post kind of got highjacked into multiple directions. LOL! So I started and new one. My concern is still how to withdrawl from Ropinarole without losing my mind during the DAY. I have something for nighttime but the US is so paranoid from the abuse of opioids that only a miracle would help me

12dp6dt and BFN, is this over?
I'm 12dp6dt today. I had almost no symptoms up to this morning when I woke up to cramps like my usual periods. The blood on the pad/bowl looks like the kind of bleeding I get on Day 1 of period. Took a home pregnancy test and there wasn't even a faint line. From your experience, does this sound like

Monday I had the procedure under general anesthesia-safely and successfully. The did give IV cortef at the start of the procedure. Since they needed to intubate my throat is sore for days but my ears-especially the right one are achy. I was debating why aching now; pollen count is moderate,and my jaw

So I live in uk and for a year now my daughter age 14 has had various symptoms which come and go in severity but impact her life when bad. She is under paediatricians who were unconcerned about her low TSH and after discussion with paed with interest in endocrinology they wrote to gp and said no further

Does Roseway Laboratories prescribe Thybon T3?
Hi Does anyone know if Roseway prescribe Thybon Henning? I had been using Thybon Henning but when it ran out I got some Tiromel as it was the only option I could source. It does not seem as effective as Thybon and I was wondering if Roseway prescribe Thybon. Many thanks

Low t3 with high t4, graves.
I'm not sure what's happening. I've had one episode of toxic nodule hyperthyroidism back in 2015, hemithyroidectomy in 2018. Then I got graves (unrelated apparently) in 2022. My t4 was 63, my t3 was 30! so was on carb until June 2023. I've not been on any meds since. Following my thyroid through private
