Having seen an Endo privately, he has prescribed three months of Liothyronine 5mcg to take once a day alongside 100mcg of thyroxine to see if my side effects improve.. The GP refused to sanction it and has asked the Endo to prescribe privately, and if I show improvement after the three months, the GP

Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio TSH 0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better. Still a slump

Help interpreting results :)
Hi there, I'd be so grateful for some help trying to interpret test results. I started getting symptoms of joint stiffness, low energy, skin breakouts and generally not feeling myself, in 2021. Due to the joint inflammation in my feet and fingers, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Arthritis, but there

Have you disclosed your self-medication to GP?
Hello Everybody, I've been successfully self-medicating with T4 and T3 or NDT, without GP's knowledge, since 2016. For the 30 years before that I could not get diagnosed for hypothyroidism because I am borderline central hypothyroid and my TSH never got high enough for the NHS diagnosis criteria.

Does this look like a malar rash? Would it be seen as one by a doctor, do you think?
I have had joint pain and tiredness for the last six years. This last year it has got significantly worse and although I am overweight, the pain is felt in my fingers and elbows sometimes. My heel and ankle are also badly affected. The fatigue is debilitating. I have also developed digestive issues

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

starting T3/T4
Hi all I’m about to add T3 to Levo. I’m currently on 100levo and have been prescribed 50 Levo with 2x5 T3 per day. When is best to take the T3? One in the morning with the Levo and one around 12 hours later? Can it be taken near food etc? Any tips and positive experiences would be gratefully received
