Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

How to change from T3 only to T4?
I'm currently self medicating on 50mcg Tiromel and have been for a few years. My doctor prescribed me 75 mcg Eutirox 5 x week and 88 on the weekends. It just wasn't working for me, so after a lot of reading I assumed I was just someone with a faulty conversion gene and decided to try alternatives.

Big Ferritin Drop in a Year (over 50%)
Not a thyroid question, but a ferritin question if anyone is able to advise? Apologies in advance that this is long, just trying to set the scene. Brief background - I have Hashimoto's and after many years am on T3 monotherapy. I am vegetarian, and take various supplements as recommended on here, and

Please can you help me with these levels? Rai booked imminently.
Hi, I have rai booked imminently & want to know for sure if my levels warrant it - TSH - <0.01 T3 - 8 T4 - 16 I’ve been told it was toxic nodules, now 2 years later told by a different consultant it’s graves? The consultant secretary said they mean the same thing when overactive? Is this correct?

urgent help with T3 problem
I started taking T3 13 weeks ago from a private endo. I increased it gradually and am currently on 10mcg twice per day and lowered my levo from 175mg to 150mg. My problem is I actually feel worse than I did before! My last blood test showed that my T3 levels had gone up but could be better but I feel

Need for less thyroid hormone replacement in summer
Hello everyone, Just a general question as to whether any of you find that you need less thyroid hormone in the summer months? I’ve been well on a dose of combination t4/t3 for about 8 months now- having found my sweet spot last October. However over the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing

For reference I have Hashimotos, am gluten and dairy free, my vitamins and iron are ok after a long time working on them. I’m on 2 grains of Armour and have been on this dose for 6 weeks.

3 months post-partum - advice on these results?
I was diagnosed with hypo right before I found out I was pregnant last August. Levo was awful for me, so I switched to NDT and have done well on it. Throughout pregnancy, my TSH was optimal and T3 was good too but T4 was difficult to get optimal. I'm on 180mcg of NDT, split 90/90 morning and night
