I have had my Liothyronine changed from 10mcg daily to having to take 10mcg one day, then 5mcg the next day .
I have no thyroid .I presently take 75 mcg Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine and have felt well on that dose (I have no symptoms that suggest I am over medicated) But my FT3 was 8.5 - because there was only about an hour between me taking my Thyroid medications and the clinic taking bloods for a Thyroid

is this subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, Any guidance would be much appreciated please… this is all new to me. I managed to persuade my GP that I have symptoms of hashimotos and to humour me a TSH test , T4 /T3 and anti TPO blood test was done. However the bloods were done at 10:30am, I’ve been having biotin in my multi vitamin and drank

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests

Leukemia-associated macrophages, their role in the CLL Tumor Micro-environment and how they affect progression and therapy response
Understanding how the CLL Tumor Micro-environment (TME) functions is crucial to improving CLL therapy. CLL cells are not as robust as healthy B cells and they rely on their created TME in the nodes and bone marrow for their survival. That's why it's so easy to kill CLL cells with in vitro testing - checking

ANA test results
Hi, I’m reaching out in the hope someone is able to help me translate my ANA blood tests. I’ve had symptoms for over a year, predominantly fatigue/exhaustion, painful joints, mouth sores, feet that turn purple when cold (I also have a coeliac disease diagnosis from 2015). My results are back on

How long does a coeliacs blood test take to come back?
Exactly that! I had bloods done on Friday lunch time, including a FBC, B12, folate, and ferritin. Also Coeliac screen (TTG). All the others are back but not the coeliac screen yet. Is that usual?

Large lesion on liver - 10cm x 5cm
I am after a bit of advice from anyone that may have been in a similar position to me. I had blood tests done towards the end of last year due to on going acid reflux symptoms. In the last 6 months I have been on the cancer pathway for investigations for throat and stomach, all biopsies came back clear

should I start interferon?
I’d be grateful for any advice or guidance on starting Interferon for ET CalR mutation. I was diagnosed with ET approximately 12 years ago when I was 57. I took Hydroxycarbamide in increasing doses over an approximate 6 year period when the efficacy of the drug began to wane. I was then prescribed

When to take Lio before blood test?
Hiya, sorry I have not posted for a while. It is a familiar story alas: hypo symptoms on Levo alone became very bad, eventually got referral to endo, started Liothyronine (T3) trial in Oct 2021, worked great, hypo symptoms improved rapidly. But now TSH is below range and my endo wants to reduce Lio

Hoping for advice
I have a blood test at 9 am today and took my tablet at 5.45 am by mistake. If I refrain from breakfast, will this at least help or is there no point now and should I eat as normal? Also, what will it affect, the TSH, T3 or T4 or all of them? My GP doesn’t normally test like this (he added it on

Blood Test Results Critique Please
Hi, just got my test results back. Would those who have more blood test result interpreting experience than I please comment on them. I asked for full blood count and iron panel, do these tests align with that request? I asked that B12 be excluded as I SI EOD. I take a magnesium supplement at 300mg,

Hypo with Hyper results!
Hi All and good to meet you. Had a thyroidectomy in 2022. Just had a blood test with TSH - 0.2 miU/l FT4 24.5 pmol/L On levothyroxine 125mg for 4 days and 100mg for 3 days. Any idea why this looks like hyperthyroid? Thanks for any advice.

Blood test results advice since starting T3
Just got my medichecks results through. Tests taken pre 9am, fasted with delayed T4 and split T3 dose as per protcol. To recap, I added 1 x 5mcg T3 for the first time about 8 weeks ago. Endo told me to reduce my thyroxine from 125 x 6/100x1 . I didnt do this, but reduced half way and have been taking
