so I’ve been on levo for 15 years and have hashimotos . Around 3 years ago I was added t3 too. I still feel awful and would like my GP to change my levo to a different brand maybe? As all my symptoms seem to be inline with my levo and the side effects. Has anyone had success with this ? I would really

My symptoms have returned - do I need additional Levothyroxine?
Lots of info in my Profile/Biography. I have been on T4 for many years. After adding privately-sourced T3 to my prescribed T4 around 2019 I have been jogging along reasonably well until a year or so ago, when symptoms started to return. Extreme tiredness, inexplicable weight gain, bad brain fog, and

How to share MPs response on Healthunlocked.
I recently write to my MP about the cost of T3. He posed two questions to the Govt. and I think people here might like to see them but I'm not sure how to share them. Any hints gratefully received as I really do no want to type them.

Best Private Endo and/or Private Thyroid Practitioner
I've been having T4 treatment for Hypothyroidism on NHS for a while, and I'm still feeling terrible. I have private health insurance coverage though, and I haven't used it. Also have low testosterone which I've been successfully treated for. Could someone PM me the best Endo on the private list?

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I don't remember seeing any discussions about the Q Risk with relation to a stroke or heart attack. My last bloods came back normal, no action. My cholesterol was 5.3 and I'm on 2mg pred.I asked the nurse what the Q risk was and it came up as 25% chance of a stroke or heart attack within the next 10

Can someone please recommend where I can buy…
Hi Folks, I need to source some T3 urgently. The normal place I can get it from is out of stock. Can anyone please PM me with any suggestions of reliable suppliers. Sorry, I am not up to doing detailed explanations at the moment. Thanks and best.

Low T4 & T3 1st Endo follow up soon
Hi I’ve posted here several times & had enormous amount of help from all on this group. I had a partial Thyroidectomy in 1995 & have taken Thyroxine since 1997. I started with symptoms of exhaustion in 2010 after a virus & never really recovered. They got progressively worse which my GP diagnosed depression

Should I reduce T3?
Endo ( reluctantly) agreed 5mg increase of T3 🥳 currently take 125mg T4 & 10mg T3. When i began introducing T3 originally I was advised by 'The Knowledgable Ones' here 👍to reduce T4 before introducing T3. Which worked out very nicely 'Thank you All' Do I need to do that again with these results

Hi I’ve just had my thyroid results ..

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab).

Update….one year of enlightenment
Hi lovely people. I last posted in February, when I was hoping to increase to 75mcg. Long story short, GP agreed to the increase in March. I had been testing with MMH and watched my TSH creep up and my FT3 & FT4 decrease. Without private testing, I’d still be wading through treacle on 50mcg! So after

blood test coming up
I have an appointment with my private endo at the end of the month and was wondering whether I need to delay taking my T3 24 hrs prior to the test? I always leave my T4 before it but I have to split my T3 as it’s taken in 2 doses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Leukocytes, protein and blood.
Hi all, my urine samples have started showing leukocytes protein and blood. I have GPA which mainly affects my lungs and now sinuses. I guess I just want to know if having these in my urine with no actual urine infection could mean that there's possibly now kidney involvement too?. Hope you're all keeping

Advice on test results before GP appointment
Hello all. Just wanted to say firstly how great it is to finally find somewhere where people can understand how you feel when you have hypothyroidism, and take the time to support you trying to take control of your own health. I was finally diagnosed and started treatment for autoimmune hypothyroidism

Help with results and medication prescribed
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few months ago after some routine private bloods for peri-menopause issues. TPO antibodies result then was >1300. Was advised by private menopause clinic to see private thyroid clinic. Also went to GP who said he would just monitor with yearly bloods as TSH fine. But

Goat whey, casein, IGF-1 etc. - Do they promote or slow cancer growth?
I've been trying for many years to decide whether to take a protein powder supplement to help maintain muscle mass. Since I started on ADT in 2016, I've lost 30 pounds. I don't know how much is due to the ADT, and how much is due to my diet. I'm 172 pounds now. I was muscular and athletic at 202,
