Should T3 be made optimal?
Hi, Recent endocrinology letter to GP says to keep T4 in top quarter and TSH on the Lower quarter, though he has not said about where T3 should be, wondering why this is as when T4 too high I feel more anxious and heart rate goes up too much, but with T3 higher I dont feel any of that

Please can anyone help with my latest blood results
Ranges TSH 0.35-5 mu/l Free T4 9-21 pmol/l Free T3 pmol/l This is so weird - just had results back - endo reduced my dose from 100/75 Levo and 2 x 5 Lio following on from the April blood results. Now my T4 and T3 have gone through the floor! I'd been having some symptoms and had hoped to persuade

I thought, at first, that it was due to CFS/ME getting worse(diagnosed in approx 2019, but i think now that i have had an uat for years. I looked at past

Q re Levo not "topping up" natural thyroid hormones and side effects of overmedication
I've been prescribed levo recently and am currently struggling to work out what does works for me and doesn't send me into a jittery, irritable mess. I can't remember blood test results exactly but something like 6.8 TSH and low T3. All my other bloods were fine. I've been on a super healthy diet and

Confused
Can I just ask a question because I am very confused. I have always had sub-clinical hypo thyroid results with a TSH of around 5.4 (range 0.27-4.2) and a T4 result within range but even on 50mg Levothyroxine it caused me to sweat profusely . As my TSH was still high I was increased to 75mg and then 100mg

Thyroid Test Help
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) in 2017. Hashimoto's runs in my family. I think my primary doctor originally prescribed 50 mcg levothyroxine and when I got in to see an endocrinologist he upped this to 125 mcg and after a few months dropped it down to 75 mcg. I took 75 mcg daily for

Starting T3
Today I saw an nhs endo who agreed to prescribe a 3 month trial of T3 (liothyroxine) From previous post and advice on here I believe I am a poor converter. He wasn’t entirely sympathetic and disagreed with most things I said. His views included ‘no point in testing T4 or T3 as it’s too variable, only

MDD Suffers: Avolition
I wish I knew this when I was suffering from MDD so I wanted to share. There is a clinical reason why you “can’t” do things. I knew I was supposed to excercise or walk my dog I just couldn’t do it. Which made me feel worse about myself when I chose to islolate instead. Before my DBS surgery I was talking
