Hi everyone, I haven't been on in a while, there was a big delay in getting my T3, postal service on strike, but thankfully it arrived. I won't received them until Christmas, my friend is coming to me for Christmas and is bringing them down to me when he comes. So I will be starting my T3 then. I know

This week I took a private blood test to check my latest thyroid and vitamin status. These are my latest thyroid

I’ve been trying to get stable on t3/4 combination, still a way to go as last results after increasing to 10 mcg liothyronine in 2 doses were the worst yet, t3 and t4 both at bottom of range, vitamin D draining away again despite supplements. I’ve increased levothyroxine back up to 75 ( I was advised

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Diarrhoea and thyroid hormones
Not a great topic but needs must! I'm under investigation for gastro issues, am waiting for a referral to a consultant hopefully soon. I may have an inflammatory bowel disease or (I really hope not) bowel cancer - or something else, although infection ruled out. I have very high calprotectin levels

Blood test timing
Hi all you clever folks out there, I’ve upped my medication of liquid thyroxine in the last few months from 50 to 75mcg. I did it without GP’s consent but I was feeling so hypo and tired and although my last blood test results were within range (TSH 2.35), I knew an increase would help. I was going to

Vitamin D levels
Hi guys, have a blood test at my GP tomorrow morning after I sent a message about getting my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin, B12 etc tested Is it the case now that if deficient, GPs won't treat? My levels a couple of years ago were 16 so very deficient Just worried if it comes back that low again, that GP
