Low TSH & Low T4
Can anyone help please? I was recently on 75mcg T4 and 20mcg of T3 but still felt low energy, dry skin, hair falling out, low mood etc. Doctor did a TSH and T4 test and then phoned me to reduce my T4 to 50mcg. My TSH was 0.023 and my T4 was 8.2. The reduction of T4 meds made me very ill, I crashed

Possible Overmedication Woes
I switched to T4/T3 combo in December, I'm self sourcing Tiromel. I was at that point taking 200mcg of Levo, felt okish but felt T3 could be higher it was 5.2 on a range of 3.1-6.8. This was a private test in October. I didnt want to add more Levo so following advice decoded to try some T3. Added 6.25mcg

DA withdrawal progress
Hi F58 UK Update on withdrawing from Ropinirole tablets. I have had RLS for over 10 yrs and tried Pramipexol, then changed to Ropinirole. After visiting consultant they recommended Gabapentin. After advice from this forum I am reducing my Ropinirole. My Ropinirole dose was 1.5mg 3 x day. Gabapentin

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

Low phosphate levels linked to hypothyroidism?
Hi all, I am under close monitoring for my kidneys by a renal consultant. I had severe acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis last year and am very slowly improving. At my recent six monthly blood test, my phosphate levels had dropped and they are now below range. The trend for this has been dropping

How often to increase t3
I started on 6.25 mcg of t3 and increased by 6.25 every 5-7 days. I've been on 31.25 mcg for 2 weeks now and feel exactly the same= dreadful. Shall I keep increasing or wait? I'm also taking 50 mcg of t4. I'm monitoring and taking iron, b12 and vitamin d. I was also taking selenium but stopped now.

Endocrinologist dismissed my results are they right?
Hi, I had an appointment with an endocrinologist that came highly recommended. I went in with my results (see below) and was told I don't have a thyroid problem so don't need any medication. However, he wants to keep monitoring me and asked me to test and send him my results every 3 months. I was told

Big Ferritin Drop in a Year (over 50%)

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

Confused about iron infusion and low ferritin.
Am I reading it wrong when Dr. Winkelmann recommends infusion if ferritin is 50 – 75 mcg/L but iron tablets if ferritin is below 50 mcg/L or lower? Gibbel
