Visiting Turkey to Buy T3 (Tiromel)
Has anyone been anywhere in Turkey recently (or recently ish!) to buy T3 over the counter? Now that the Greece over the counter route appears to have stopped, I'm considering looking into Turkey. I would much rather buy in person than relying on something being legit when ordering online/buying through

To split or not to split?
I have decided to start self medicating again and used the company I first used to buy some thyroxine. They have changed brands and now only supply Eltroxin in 100 mcg tablets. Tbh I didn't even think about that so ordered some thinking I could just split them as I felt 50 was a better starting point

Headache solved?
As my symptoms started returning, I upped my levo every 3rd day from 50mcg to 75mcg. Headaches started and only went if I upped my T3 from 5mcg to 7.5 mcg (Levo 7am, T3 8am) I take 2 further 5mcg T3 in the day. I sometimes take my second T3 dose as a 7.5mcg dose if I'm really slowing down, grinding to

LIOTHYRONINE
I had been on Liothyronine for a couple of years and not noticed any difference to energy etc and my sleep was dreadful. Consultant halved my dose and when I complained at last appointment about severe pain in joints and I can hear the joints rubbing together he said I should have a bone density scan

Advice on some strange blood test results!
Hi all I hope you’re doing well! I’m writing on this forum to get some advice on a number of strange blood test results and symptoms I’ve been experiencing. Just for context, I’m a 26 year old cycling female with normal regular periods. Since the last year I noticed substantial weight gain (1 stone

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

GP removed my T3 what now?
Hi I know others have mentioned this previously but I have just gone to order a repeat prescription to find that my T3 is missing from the list. I'm currently taking 75mcg Thyroxine too & noticed they have removed the 50's leaving me with 25mcg only which is ok I guess but expect its a cheaper brand

Misdiagnosis? Fibromyalgia or PA?
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 19 years ago, but I wonder whether it was a misdiagnosis. I am still waiting for a PA diagnosis, but have been experiencing many of the symptoms of PA for months. Many of the tests I have done have shown low B12, low folate, low ferritin, all within range but low

Scams
Hello everyone! I wanted to just give a quick post on a scam I experienced here on a chat. It was back in December. I did not approach anyone they sent me a message through the chat. They said, why don't you take T3 on your own? They were very convincing. How they were saying how they took the T3 and

Run out of t3
Could someone please message me with somewhere I can purchase tiromel quite quickly? I usually stock up when I go to Turkey, but have been unable to go. Stupidly, I didn't realise how low I had got. My gp is aware I outsource my supply.

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

BRCA genetic testing providers
I have signed up to take part in the NHS Jewish-BRCA screening programme https://nhsjewishbrcaprogramme.org.uk/ but I will not get the test or the results before the first round of my IVF starts next month. I only have 1 Jewish grandparent so my risks are low but not as low as non-Jewish person. My grandparent

Blood test
I have an app with endocrinologist next week. I know he will want to take bloods so what should i do about my thyroxine . Normally if bloods were taken at 9 I d not take my tablet until after the test but my app isn’t until 1.30. Should I take my levo that day or not??

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Naltrexone
I am on thyroxine and T3 medication for under active thyroid. A friend was recently prescribed low dose naltrexone to help with inflammation in the body as well as being on thyroid medication. Does anyone know if naltrexone is available to purchase without prescription in the UK as I would like to trial
