Liothyronin T3 and insulin resistance
I’ve been doing some research as my blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1C) have been persistently high despite exercise, low carb diet, weight loss and muscle gain. Prompted by the very wise SlowDragon that T3 can cause high sugars, I decided to delve deeper. I came across a lot of articles online

Possible Leukoplakia
Hi all.Hope your all doing really well this Tuesday. Yesterday I went to my Dentist for my routine check up and Polish and had the polish and clean first then during my check up the Dentist said you have a small pale (not white) on the inside of my cheek. She said it didn’t look sinister but said it

Weird feelings following reduced dose of thyroxine
A few weeks ago my thyroxine dose was reduced from 100 to 75mg. I had no warning, just a decision my GP made. I've been on various doses over the years, but 100 was felt to be the correct one for me. The past few days, I've been feeling like I'm shaky and unsteady. I've been giddy when bending over

Wits end
I need some advice please. I am currently on 300mg of pregabalin and one codeine tablet a day but this has stopped working. I struggle to get to sleep and when I do I am woken after 1 - 2 hours with restless legs and sometimes arms. I am at my wits end with exhaustion. I had a full blood count recently

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

Help with recent blood tests please
Hi all, Further to previous posts… Endo finally prescribed T3 5ug and had advised reducing T4 from 100 ug to 75 ug which I was reluctant to do as I felt so awful after reducing from 125ug on 12/01/24. Previous bloods taken on 22/02/24 while on 100ug T4 for previous 6 weeks : T4 19.5 ( 12-22 range)

New Hyperthyroidism diagnosis
Hi all, I am new here and have found reading through all the information I’ve found here invaluable. I have recently been diagnosed as having hyperthyroidism- my story is in my bio. I have my first endocrinologist appointment this week and I’m not sure what to expect. My GP wouldn’t prescribe Carbimazole

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations
TLDR: First time poster diagnosed Hashimotos and POI, investigating IBS which is potentially also autoimmune cause. Fatigue, depression and anxiety are ruining my life. Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal

GP says results are fine
Fatigue, brainfog, muscle aches, joint pain, and other various symptoms. Below are my blood test results. The GP stated there is nothing of concern. He seemed more focused on mental health issues. Is there anything obvious below? Someone said to post here. Rheumatoid factor 8 Range: Below 12.5

T3 too high?
Hi all, Last time I had my thyroid levels checked I followed the protocol of taking half my Armour dose the night before my tests. The blood test was done at 9am and all was in range. This time my endocrinologist specifically asked me to have my blood tests two hours after taking my normal Amour dose

TSH remains suppressed
So, been taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Liothyronine for years, but recently lost some weight, and started randomly throwing up. Blood tests at Dr showed,T4 19.9 (11-23) TSH <0.01 (0.27-4.5) So wanting to feel better, I reduced the t3 to 6.25mcg, and levo to 100mcg Nurse practitioner agreed to check

High IgM and other markers
Hi, just had some more blood tests and my globulin and IgM levels are high. I understand they're linked with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Has anyone else experienced this after a recent PA diagnosis? Thanks.
