Doctor
I am wondering if anyone has come across a Dr Zachariah in Horsham? I am looking for thyroid and adrenal glands. Please PM me as I would be interested to hear experiences. Thank you! PS As a side note, I was prescribed the 20mcg T3 after asking not to have the 10mcg capsules - thank you to everyone

Advice please
I thought I was going mad at first, my RLS is horrendous and affecting me at work. Poor and very little sleep, getting confused and making mistakes, forgetting information. The RLS was starting early on a morning and nothing I could do to relieve it. I was taking too many cocodomoI out of desperation

Lab Cut Backs (blood testing)!
I've read on here numerous times about people being refused T3 tests because "we're not allowed to test that any more" etc etc. Clearly appalling when trying to get a full picture of what's going on with your thyroid. I've just spoken to the GP about some other blood tests I'm having done tomorrow (

How much T3 do you keep as backup?
I have to order a repeat T3 prescription in the next couple of day from a private GP at a lab and as I will be going away from home for approx 3 months I will have to request a large amount. It made me think that I should probably keep a reasonably large bank of T3 since running out could be very nasty

Blood tests advice please
Hello, I wondered if you might advise on recent blood tests? Recently introduced T3 and not felt any improvements yet (I know 5mcg is small dose). May 15th 2024: FT 17.6 (12-22) FT3 4.8 (3.1-6.8) Blood tests were taken 24 hrs after last levo and 4 hrs after 1/2 dose of T3 (as recommended to

T4 not being increased by GP
Hi everyone hope you are all doing g good and still fighting for your health! Following on from my previous post. A new GP in my practise wouldn’t increase my levo to 100mcg until she had the go ahead from endocrinology. They have decided that I am adequately medicated and won’t increase due to heart

Conversion
Hi I'm trying to make sense of something I'm reading. Does something know how to convert between nanogrammes and picomoles of T4? Best wishes H

Multiple Iron Infusions.
I had an iron infusion two years ago for RLS. Before the infusion my ferritin was down to about 100 and it rose to about 350 Unfortunately my RLS didn't respond to this and I couldn't detect any improvement over the next 12 months. My ferritin decreased over 2 years to 200 and then gradually

I think T3 should be available in the cleaning products aisle!
Small increase and I turn into a cleaning demon! All the jobs that get put off like window cleaning get tackled which leads to other things getting it too 🪟🪣🧹 😁

Painful legs at night
My endo put me on 100mcg of Levothyroxine and 10mcg of T3 twice a day, three weeks ago to help me out of hypothyroidism. I'm also on a cocktail of drugs to help with my anxiety and depression, but there have been no changes with these. Over the past five nights I've been kept awake by experiencing

Has anyone had a Jak2 Blood Test for blood disorders?
Hi I've had high Platelets for years about 20 at least on every blood test. GP always just said your Platelets are high but we know that! rheumy often mentioned it too. Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular blood tests since

T3 only and feeling a bit desperate
I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Help sourcing t3 online please
Hi folks. New here. I realise that nobody can post links etc but I'm hoping someone out there can message me some info. I'm post menopausal and blood tests show I have hypothyroidism (tsh 9.8). For the past almost 10 years I've been so tired, hair falling out, gaining weight etc. I've been unable

Side effects on combination therapy : thyroxine and T3
I have been on combination therapy for about 7 weeks. I have noticed I am quite breathless and this looks like it can be related but unusual. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
