Is my T4 still too high ?
I’ve just had my bloods done and my results are the same as last year except my T3 has come down from 6.2 to 6.0 I take 100mcg 5 days & 75mcg 2 days a week along with 10mcg Thybon all in one dose.My question is should I reduce Thyroxine to try to bring it down a bit more as I’ve read there are risks

Advice re first blood tests after adding in T3
How long should I wait before taking my first blood test after adding in T3 and reducing thyroxine? What timings should I follow re taking my meds? I'm currently 5/6 weeks in of adding 5mcg of Roma T3 in hard capsule, which I take at 7am. I take my thyroxine at 11pm. I was taking 6 x125/1x100. Endo

Boom!! Dexa Scan Normal.
I'm on T3 medication only, which was prescribed very reluctantly by my NHS endo. I've slowly upped my dose over the last 12 months, and whilst he was happy (ish) to prescribe 60mcg per day, he pretty much flipped his lid at our last appointment in January when I told him I was taking 80mcg (and all in

Thyroid test denied
Hi everyone, I'm very confused right now. For the first time in fifteen years, I had a GP asking all sorts of irrelevant questions when I asked my thyroid to be tested and the Free T3 included. In the end, according to them, the lab didn't test the FRee T3. Obviously, this is due to the GP's input

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this

New blood test results after 2 months on Levo
Hi, I posted a while back before I first saw a private GP and was put on 50mg of levothyroxine. Weeks 1-3 or there abouts I felt that things were going well. I felt rested after a nights sleep for the first time in years, increased mental acuity, diminished itching of the skin, decreased thirst,

Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

Overmedication question
Hi all, I have been feeling really weird over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if I'm overmedicated. I take 100mcg levo daily following hemithyroidectomy in Dec. I had been feeling much better since starting the tablets in March. But over the past few weeks I've had hot sweats, very easy to lose

New member -Dexa query
Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Followed advice here, now need help with understanding results
Hi, I’ve learned more here in the last year or so than I’ve ever learned from doctors. I’ve also come to know that I’ve probably been on too low of a Synthroid dosage for far too long. I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s since 2005 or 2006. I had a goiter on my parathyroid and had surgery to remove
