Change in thyroid tests as I taper Prednisone
I am 3.5 years into PMR. Honestly can't remember what my Levothyroxine dose was before I was diagnosed however throughout my battle with PMR I was taking 100mcg. and GP added 5mcg Liothyronine in 2020 as I apparently wasn't converting my T4. I had finally tapered to 5mg of Pred in March 2023 and my

has anyone gone back to t4 after trying thyroid-s?
Hello, Happy 2024 to everyone! May it bring you health and happiness! Ive had a crazy year with Thyroid-s and while i like the feel of the medicine - im not sure it loves me back! At 1.25 grains my results where tsh 0.6 and ft3 just in range, while t4 slightly under. I tried increasing to 1.5 grains

Additional folate supplements
Hi, I’m not diagnosed. T3 and T4 low TSH creeping up to 2.5 but according to blood tests I’m fine. Feeling exhausted in spite of sleeping like a log,, weak muscles, poor appetite etc. I started innegus b just before Xmas, one tablet as on two my wee was neon. No point peeing them out I thought to myself

Blood tests, T3 and talking to GP
Hi & happy new year, I started a trial of T3 at the end of November (privately sourced) and was planning on testing my bloods in February. It’s still early days but I do feel ‘better’. My GP has called me in for annual blood test next week, a 1.00pm appointment as no early morning ones available.

Thyroid Hormones and Blood Sugar Linked to Major Depressive Disorder Severity
I think this article is interesting. But it is concerning that someone [i]could[/i] invert, distort, pervert the research and do things like: 🔸 Infer that without thyroid hormones, blood sugar, lipid levels being out of range, the person isn't suffering. 🔸 Miss that all the problems with thyroid

so many supplements, so much money - any advice for lowering the cost?
hi everyone, I’ve just added up how much I’m spending on ndt and supplements and it’s an awful lot of money. I wondered if anyone had advice on cheaper options or those they think are unnecessary. I’ve got hashimotos and have also been diagnosed with ME/ CFS - these are a mixture of things recommended

Too heavy, feeling depressed.
Hi & happy, healthy new year 🎉 Prev spoke with Slow Dragon 💝 was so grateful for the good advice back then. My Levothyroxine dose increased to 200 i had hoped it would help me loose some weight. No such luck and after recent blood test, I was told to reduce dose to 175. I feel fine, tbh no different

Advice re private GP
Hi, I'm new here. Frustrated because I'm still having hypothyroid symptoms nearly a year on from diagnosis. My TSH is 5.2 ( 0.4 - 5.4) GP refuses increase in Levothyroxin. Currently on 25/50 mcg, alternate days since May. I've decided to find a private GP (or thyroid specialist) if refused again after

NDT advice please
Hello everyone I’m on T4/T3 combined meds for UAT. I read on here about people being on NDT, I’ve never tried it or been offered it. How do you go about trying to get a trial? It’s obviously an Endo route but are they even receptive to this as an option if you ask? I’m very curious to find out if this

Thyroid, Hair Loss and Magnesium
Good Morning! If anyone could give me alittle I would be very grateful. I have high blood pressure and was pre diabetic which I now have under control, but read that magnesium was very good for both, hence started to take it. I didnt realise though that magnesium can impede some medications to my horror

Levothyroxine getting less effective?
Hi all I've written before and found it very useful so hoping you can help again. I have just switched doctors surgeries and as such lost access to my online account with all my detailed results, so hope this limited information is enough to go on. At the start of last year I was overmedicated at 50mcg

Collagen supplementation
Hi, I can find little info on (marine) collagen supplements & thyroid med interactions. Came across , only, one article that said it could interfere w/thyroid meds - not anecdotal or a scholarly article. Maybe ok 2hrs after thyroid meds? Anyone have experience?
