GP reducing Levo dose based on blood tests only. Need evidence/papers to show under dosing is potentially harmful too
Update March 2024: I finally saw a Prof of Endocrinology in December 2023 , who determined I did need Liothyronine. A shared care agreement was arranged with my GP and finally last week I started on a trial of Liothyronine. Thank you to everybody who responded and all information supplied. Knowledge

non-acid GORD
does anyone else experience non-acid reflux? I was diagnosed with GORD a year ago and was prescribed a high dose of omreprazole. Managed to wean myself off as soon as I could (aware that it doesn’t work well with levothyroxine - I take 75mg daily). I recently restarted omreprazole as I had heartburn

What should I do now?
My latest thyroid test shows an improvement on my GP test (no t3) in July. Since July I’ve been using metavive I at 3 per day and for the past 6/7 weeks I switched to levo 50mcg and T3 3 moving up to 9mcg which I’ve since dropped back to 6 as I felt really unwell on 9. I’ve tried raising my levo but

Increased Levo about 3 weeks ago from 75 to 100. TSH seems to have dropped fast, is this usual ? I’ve been unwell with a virus, would that affect it? I can’t say the rapid change in TSH is reflected in feeling any better.

I need to get my Levothyroxine dose increased - I think !
Hello people, what a great forum - I have only now found the confidence to post here, and I really need some advice. I'd had hypothyroid symptoms and high TSH since the end of 2019 but wasn't diagnosed with hashimoto's until May 2023, when my antibody test showed high TPO . I was put on a starter dose

The good doctor
I had a GP appointment this morning (double appointment) for a Medication Review. I haven’t had one since pre-Covid when I lived in a different part of the country. I crept into the surgery with fear in my heart as I prepared to explain the ins and outs of NDT. OH came with me as I was in the middle

Correctly written prescription...do they exist? 🫤
My pharmacist requested that I get my prescription altered to state Vencamil now that Aristo has been dropped by Alliance to stave of future confusion ( it currently mentions both)... I did say that I had tried in the past to get it named but they say that they can't... So I spoke with the Surgery and

why does t3 decrease t4 levels and can this effect symptoms.
hi peeps I made a post recently but I wanted to see if anyone had any deeper knowledge on this topic. So before starting t3 meds I had a test of TSH 10 FT4 18.1 (12-22) FT3 5.1 (3-6.8) after 4 weeks on t3 meds I started feeling kind of weird and was worried I was overmedicated (first 2 weeks 2.5
