advice please- protein shakes
I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes

When to take iron with T3 multi-dosing.
I'm writing this post again as I didn't get many replies and my private Dr hasn't replied. I'm trying to work out when to fit in taking iron (Three arrows) with my T3 doses. I am taking T3 as per my private Dr's schedule which is 3 times per day and 6-7 hours apart. I'm wondering whether to switch to

slow release liothyronine
Like many people on here I miss the wise opinion and knowledge of Diogenes enormously. I know he was working on the formulation of a slow release liothyronine which was in clinical trial. Does anyone have an update on this? is it any closer? In the meantime I am tempted to try sustained release compounded

time to try T3
Hypothyroid - 20 years always on T4 but same brand Mercury Pharma, currently taking 150mcg. Like everyone I private test to get T3 T4 have paid in the past to see private endocrinologists and am reasonably well informed (mainly through this forum). I don’t suffer as badly as many people do but maybe

T3 Trial continued
Medichecks 20 March 2024 History:
Hypothyroid (after RAI in c2004)
Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten

Is an Alkaline Phosphate level of 71 (UK) good?
Is an Alkaline Phosphate level of 71 (UK) good? Was put on steroids to deal with newly diagnosed PMR and they fell by 20 units in 2 weeks!

Berberine and iron?
Hi, So glad to have found this wonderful forum! I am a 74 year female who recently started taking pregabalin for RLS. I just got back my ferritin level and it is 12. I will order some iron and would like to know how many mg is a good dose. Also, I started taking niacin 500mg daily for my cholesterol

Taking Biotin
Hello, As part of my daily suppliment intake I take the full range of B vitamins (B1-12), which includes 50mcg biotin. As I understand it, this is less than the 20mg which would affect my T4 levels, is that right? And at this dosage do I still need to stop taking this particular suppliment 2 days

Opinions Please
Hi I have just had my results from Medicheck. I followed all the recommendations, 9am test, no Levothyroxin for 24 hours, no Biotin for a week. I am currently taking 75 mg Levothyroxin, Vitamin D3, Methyl Folate & Thorne Basic B Complex. I am considering adding 25 mg Levothyroxin 3 times a week

Struggling, should I try increase now?
Good morning, Following my post last week, I am now really struggling with hypo symptoms which I think is more to do with reduction of the levo than addition of T3. I didn’t want to rush adding extra T3, have now been on 2.5 T3 for 8 days with levo (87.5x3 & 100x4 days) as I react so badly to changes

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

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
