just another blood test, last one was in may. my levo was increased from 50mcg to 75mcg, I had been on a 100mcg before. I also take 15mcg T3 spilt in 3 doses. Two things stick out to me the high cortisol and Magnesium. I had a 24 hours cortisol urine test which showed it to be low. Weight still going

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?

Preparing for thyroid blood tests
This is my first posting so please forgive me if this sounds confusing. I am slated to have NHS knee replacement surgery but following my pre-op assessment have been dropped from the list because of abnormal thyroid levels. No information has been offered about the levels, what is abnormal about them

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.

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

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin

Any experience with Roderick Lane? Please PM me. Thank you
Hello, like others who have posted similar requests on here before, I am considering a consultation with Roderick Lane. There do not seem to be any reviews of him and I am wary of seeing any practitioners without a recommendation due to previous experience. I am currently on T4 and T3 and adrenal cortex

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

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

Timing of Gabapentin dose
I was seen yesterday at by Dr Tarpara at Vanderbilt’s QCC for RLS. Officially confirmed augmentation from ropinirole usage. The RLS controls my life 7 days a week. Symptoms start as early as 1-2 pm. Afternoons are something I just try to get through until bedtime. I take ropinirole 2 mg per day total

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
