Just keeping you up to date
There are 4 new papers in the journal Thyroid. Its's a groupthink seminar from the combined great and good. The titles may depress people somewhat, but these groups have yet to stop taking TSH so seriously. I hope to get full texts from Rudolf who has access.

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

bloods and upping T3 level- help needed please
Hello I’ve had recent blood results and my T3 remains at bottom of the ‘normal’ range. bloods are: T4 18 (12-22) TSH 1.52 T3 3.2 (3.1-6.8) I had similar results in September. I stopped liothyronine about 6 months ago for a variety of reasons, mainly anxiety/ tremor. My current dose of Levo

Help!
Above are my bloods since diagnosis and as you can see they are all over the place. I felt best on 100/75 Levo and 2 x 5 Lio but my endo has reduced this as my TSH was suppressed. When I say I felt best - I've never felt great, always poor sleep tired, hair and nails a mess and other thyroid symptoms

Ferritin Levels/Hair Loss/Thyroid
Good morning I have started to loose my hair and the doctor is insistent its not a change in my thyroid levels, although my TSH has changed over the last couple of readings. So I was told to have a ferritin test and take vitamin D, I also take B12. Thinking that it would be low hence the hair loss

T4 Reduction to increase TSH
In January I was taking 150 T4 daily and 2x5mg T3, my bloods were T4=18.1 (9-19) T3 4.98 (2.6-5.7) TSH <0.03(0.35-4.94). I have been taking T3 since Oct 2019 because I felt so ill, tired, hair loss, dry skin, muscle and joint problems. With the help of much advice on here I started taking supplements

TSH post levo raise - how low can you go?
Hello again, I've been on a mini trial of raising my levo by 12.5mcg / day for 8 weeks in hope of raising T3 and losing a bit of weight. Is TSH of 0.13 (0.27-4.2) too low? I feel great and weight has been going down gently. The Dr's report from Medichecks says only if I experience overactive symptoms

What do I do next? Is this T3 results low?
Hi all, just had my latest results from Medichecks, TSH is low, T3 and T4 normal. Tests were done 9am following the usual recommended protocol. The comments with the results suggests I'm perhaps over medicated and could be at risk of osteoporosis due to the low TSH. Is that right? They suggest perhaps

Tsh / t4 help
Hi My GP was concerned about my blood results and the effects of my medication still don't seem to be working as I am still very tired and have not lost any of that weight I gain. I am on levo 50mcg and lio T3 30mcg. But my tsh is still really low and if I add more t4 it will drop further. My results

Stuck. Help Plz.
Hi, thanks for all the info here. I’ve been reading for hours, think I’ve tried to absorb too much too quickly as my brain feels like it’s going to pop! I’ve been feeling nauseous with low pain headaches for a month so had a GP apt last week. Bloods were done and all appears normal apart from thyroid

Elevated TSH
My recent blood tests read: TSH 36.7 , freeT3 3.3 and T4 13.7. I was alarmed when I saw my TSH. My GP would recommend increasing the T4 , but it seems ok to me. And when it goes up anywhere past 15, I start to get horrible symptoms. E.G. fast heartrate. I have been seeing a private endo. as I
