Should I be concerned, or not?
HiI was referred to Hepatology by Haemotology in January as my ferritin levels were fluctuating. I had an ultrasound and a fibroscan and eventually saw the consultant in late May. He was very reassuring, told me my liver is "mildly fatty, has some inflammation, is relatively stiff with some scarring

Low synacthen test result
I've had one of these tests today and the nurse said I was very low at producing cortisol. That will explain my knackeredness for 2 months after each 0.5mg taper, (nearly stop technique) and I'm on 3.5mg at the moment. As it will be a while before I see my rheumy I wondered what we're the implications

Hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia
Has anyone else been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia ?? I’m in so much pain mainly my back,legs and feet. But pain differs from day to day and is constant.Had my thyroxine upped to150mg and been put on amotriptoline 10mg but no change. At my wits end. Constantly tired and can’t sleep.

Sticking to one brand of T3
I'm taking T3 only and have been regularly given a mix of 2 different brands. I've noticed that when I finish one sort and start the other sort, I get a slump - typical low thyroid sort of thing - and that one of the brands suits me better than the other. I work full time and want to try and avoid

Help with self-injecting
Hi everyone. As scared as I am to think of self-injecting, I finally placed an order for B12 ampoules today. (Thanks, Wedgewood for the info!) I have injections every eight weeks but like clockwork at four weeks in, I always have trouble while out on walks, feel like I am going to fall over

Phenergan & T4/T3 contradictions - anyone know of any?
Hi all, Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm looking for some short term sleep support, and as I'm on combined T4 & T3 therapy, wondering if anyone knows of any reason not to take Phenergan (sleeping pills). Many thanks! Xx

Cortisol synacthen test
I am looking for honest advice please. I have had a 9am cortisol test 148nmol/L range (133-537) the results said about different markers as in the picture. The endocrinologist I saw has said it’s fine and when I questioned the test was told I can have if I want it but she doesn’t think I need it. She

Bone density
Hi, I am from a family of 6 and 4 have thyroid issues and I suspect the other two are in denial. 3 of us are on T4/T3. My eldest sister now feels the need to get onto T3 but being told that at 70+, if her bones are thin then she cant have it. Is there any defuinitive testing that shows a correlation

New meds
I am now on 100 Levo and 30mg T3. Feeling good except i dive before my 11.30am dose. Stuggling to loose weight and feel rough of i stray back onto Gluton. But i suppose thats to be expected. I have a split dose of T3.

Low T4
Hi I have been taking 40mg liothyronine for 10 + years - this has never been changed. Recent trip to A & E ( very high BP) the Dr queried my low T4 levels but my GP is saying that this is normal with someone taking T3 meds.I would be very grateful for reassurance that my GP is correct .

T3 Dosing times
Hi all, I recently listened to an excellent podcast from Dr Amie Hornaman about timings and taking thyroid hormone to get the most out of the medication. Ie taking only with water and 1hr each side of eating or drinking anything (other than water). It has triggered me to be much more stringent on taking

anyone help with article that states that it is not alright to prescribe different doses of Liothyronine on alternate days?
I am on T3 and Levo 75mcg. but I feel hypo since I was taken off 10mcg T3 daily and put onto T3 at 10mcg /5mcg on alternate days Has anyone a reference regarding this unorthodox prescribing of T3 in split different doses I can send to him to support my case against this splitting of the T3 like
