Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Current Isolation
I was told my next sputum test would be 4 weeks after my first day of medication... seems like a long time?

Does anyone take a diuretic to help with water retention?
I have for many years suffered from painful water retention in my buttocks and legs. I am also unable to pinch the skin on my upper arms. Ive recently been prescribed a diuretic to see if this will help. Do others have a similar issue? Or is it a sign that I’m still under medicated? My legs are painful

T4 high range advice please
Hi I’m just looking for some advice please these are my latest results. As you will see T4 always seems to be in the higher range whilst T3 the lower end of the range. Just wondering if a small amount of Liothyronine were to be added how does it actually work? For example would it raise T3 whilst lowering

Completely lost
I’m 72 & in general good health (I think) except for Osteopenia and that I inherited Restless Legs from my mum. I started on .25mg Ropinirole 7 years ago which was like magic but it’s slowly increased to 3x.25mg per night. Perhaps not a big dose but I learned via this site it’s best to switch from Ropinirole

T4/T3 Combi Overmedicated Help Please
I posted yesterday about my recent feelings of overmedication but didnt get many replies. Its just symptoms, not blood tests, but had palpitations, fatigue, fast heart beat, shortness of breath. Was on 150mcg Levo and 12.5 T3 daily. Also added daily selenium which might have complicated things. Cut

T3 daily timings etc...
Hi, Would people kindly let me know what times of the day they take their T3, what dosage they are on and how they arrived at that dose? I would just like to know out of interest. I appreciate peoples requirements are totally different but I am just interested in what other people do as I'm having

T3 narrative
Hello, I have been exclusively on T3 since November 2023 following years of trying different combinations. At the current time I am sourcing this privately however I am soon due another endocrinology appointment and I’m dreading it, but would also like to see if I can get it on the NHS. They are so

Early morning blood tests
I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have

T4/T3 converter
How I know if I’m a good converter. I have low cortisol all day long and below is my lab test. Please advise. Taking T4 70 mcg/T3 18 mcg. I struggle to add T3 even in small doses.

Does this look more Euthyroid and less central hypo now?
Hello everyone, This is my 4th thyroid test (all testing advice adhered to, tests between 9.00-9.40am) over the last 6 months since joining HU and asking for advice. It looks to me like T4 has started to raise. I've listed below all 4 tests for comparison. It's now 47% through the range which seems

PSA slightly rose after 8 months undetectable
I am 57 and on ADT (Firmagon+Zytiga+Prednisone) after surgery in 2022 and 39 sessions of RT in 2023 (Jan Feb). Till now I has been undetectable but at November my bloodwork showed PSA risen to 0.04. Should I be concerned or could it be just random fluctuation? Thanks for your reactions.

Reviews and recommendations
Hi, I was taking T3 over the counter which improved my symptoms substantially. I then had a heart attack late January and was told it was down to the T3 which I’m not convinced of. So I want to go down the road of talking to a doctor who knows what they’re talking about with T3. I’m full time disabled

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

How is PA diagnosed?
How is PA diagnosed? How do we know if we have it?? I don’t think I have it but I do need to keep my ferritin in check due to absorption issues because of my Hashimotos…

Took progesterone 10 hours late on day 10 post FET transfer - freaking out!
It’s day 10 after my frozen embryo transfer and I have a positive pregnancy test! This is incredible news - I am absolutely over the moon. But I’m now also completely freaking out as messed up todays progesterone injection and took it 10 hours late. Am I going to miscarry? I’m crippled with worry.

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Eight years ago this month had RP after considerable investigation - nadir 0.050. Eleven months later had salvage RT; done at 0.10. Then after a year of pondering ADT and chemo, when my usPSA was back up to 0.10, I went to Europe for Ferrotran nano-MRI combined with Ga68 PSMA. The nanoMRI lite up

Diabetes and Prednisolone
Hi, just enquiring about the use of Prednisolone and its affect on diabeties. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 2016. For the first four years I managed to control it by diet only but since I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 my diabetes has got worse year on year. I was initially put on Metformin
