Increase needed but do I increase T4 or T3?
I have added liothyronine to my levothyroxine. My latest results indicate that an increase in one or the other is needed. Medichecks and Monitor My Health use the same ranges. 18.8.23 Medichecks (112.5 mcg levothyroxine only) TSH 0.101 mu/L (0.27-4.2) FT3 3.9 pmol/L (3.1-6.8) 21.62% through

Borderline results but feel dreadful!
Hi everyone, I would love some advice! I went to my doctors as ever since having my youngest child (nearly 4 years ago) I haven’t ever felt back to normal. I keep going back to GP (see a different one each time unfortunately) and feel slightly fobbed off. Last GP tested thyroid and hormone levels.

Endo recommendations?
Please! Can anyone send me (via private message, do not reply here please) recommendations for a private endocrinologist who has a record of prescribing NDT or T3 and won't baulk at suppressed TSH. Does such a specialist even exist?I think I'm moving towards being prepared to self medicate if it doesn't

Update on my post earlier this week. Re Private GP advice - due to under medication.
Results from blood tests on Wednesday.TSH 6.87 (0.4 - 5.4) T4 13.1 (11.5 - 22.7) Assuming my GP will now agree to give me an increase! 🤞 I'll go prepared. I think I'll still end up needing some help to get to an optimal level, at some point in the future. So grateful for all your support and information

Hashimotos - understanding latest blood test results - any advice for next steps?
Hi all, my partner (44F) has been struggling with hypothyroid / possible PCOS symptoms for ~18 months (thinning hair all over, some hirsutism and weight gain). She was diagnosed with Hashimotos in October 2022. We have been trying an approach to tackle both the thyroid issues and the hyperandrogenism

How stable should TSH be?
Hi. I have a few things going on that I'm getting checked by the GP, but they keep refusing to check my T4 level so I have gone privately - thanks to advice on this forum. In the meantime, I'm trying to make sense of the data I do have. How widely should TSH vary in someone who has been taking the same

Longevity, demographic characteristics, and socio- economic status are linked to triiodothyronine levels in the general population
Posted by: [i]Antonio C Bianco[/i] [i]@Bianco_Lab[/i] [i]Look at this paper in PNAS. Should we give more credit to blood T3 levels now?[/i] In my view, I simply do not see why T3 is so ignored. Therefore it is difficult to simply accept the "more credit" argument. [i]

Hi, I went T3 only 3 weeks ago after trying combination therapy for 6 months. At around the same I had my local surgery test for blood FBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues. To my surprise they also

I Had A Phone Call Yesterday.
Basically the doctor who did my thyroid blood test a few weeks ago now says I am taking too much Levo and she wants to lower me from 100 x6 days a week/50 on a Sunday down to 75mcg. every day. She was going to send a new prescription through to Lloyds reflecting 75 as the new dose, so I told her I wanted

low iron and folate
My hypo daughter is clearly feeling tired. She leads a very busy life but from own hypo past experience I can see she is going downhill. Here are some of the results she received back in August when she was advised to take Spatone. At that time she had been taking iron tablets but had stopped because

Thyroid Uptake Scan
In Feb 2023 I asked my GP for help as I’d noticed my weight was dropping, had temperature fluctuations and I thought the odd heart palpitation. Tests showed my TSH was 0.1 but my T3 and T4 were within normal range. In October I finally saw an Endocrinologist who arranged an ultrasound scan, bloods and

Feeling poorly
Evening everyone, I have continued to feel increasingly unwell. Shoulder and neck pain continues and keeps me awake or wakes me up every night now. I sometimes wake up with sweat around my neck and chest. The steroid injection I had 13 days ago helped a bit to decrease the intensity of pain but it hasn

Blood test time - still no better
Hello I'm posting again to get views on my latest blood tests, although I think it's probably same as last time. I just don't get anywhere with my doctor. Last time some of you were saying that I possibly had poor conversion and I think my results this time are showing similar sort of numbers. My doctor

Low blood pressure and palpitations. Thyroid, low ferritin, something else?
