T3 24 hours before Test
My last tests I took my T4 & T3 , 24 hours before test, by mistake. Madness! After the test I added an additional 6.25mcg T3. Only just realised as my insulin resistance has kicked in massively. Tests- Otherwise, fasting yes, no biotin. So I took both 24 hours before test; T4 131.25 mcg & T3 6.25

Following my push to try and increase my FT3 levels (see my post of a few weeks ago) 3 weeks ago my consultant suggested I increase my Levo from 125mcg to 137.5 mcg for 2 months as he thought this might increase my T3, he had my graphs showing my FT3 was then at 15%. 2 weeks into the increase, which

Can years-old injuries rear their heads when undermedicated?
Hi everyone, I’m interested to hear from you if you experienced or experience pain from old injuries when undermedicated for hypothyroidism. I’m wracked with pain everyday. It’s by far my worst symptom. Whilst the pain is widespread, it’s occurred to me that some of the worst affected areas are

3 monthly blood test.
I had my Levo increased to 75mg in September & have had to wait 3months for a follow up blood test & this is what I got, I would be grateful if someone could have a look at it & let me know if everything looks ok…well I say everything but unfortunately my Gp doesn’t like to test for everything very often

Thorne Basic B, Biotin, Folate and Blood Testing ?
I was just wondering about something…I shall need to make my blood test appointment soon after a dose change so of course need to stop taking anything biotin. Along with Biotin Thorne Basic B also contains Folate, so how much difference do you think stopping TBB for a week will make to the blood test

Newest Bloods since starting T3!
Hello All!! It's been about seven weeks since starting T3, so I thought I'd check in and post the newest (Medichecks) blood results. I am so happy with the T3 addition and feel SO much better. Have more energy, a better outlook and even lost some weight. The results show that the TSH has bottomed out

My blood results after 9 weeks on 100mcg
Here are my results they were taken as per protocol nothing for 24hrs and I don’t take biotin. The Medichecks Doctor thinks I’m overactive. TSH - 0.011 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 21.6 (12-22) (96%) Free T3 - 5.8 (3.1-6.8) ((73%) On 75mcg my FT4 was 60% and my FT3 54%. I’m quite shocked it’s gone up

Switching to NDT or adding T3?

Blood test results
Hi everyone, Been here a few times as I try and get my thyroid/iron levels good while TTC. Was pleased recently when my iron went up finally but now it, and my other thyroid levels, seem to have got worse. I'm not sure if this is because the test was taken on the last day of my period - would that
