So, I've written before, and I started taking only T3. At about 100-125mcg per day all at once in the morning (bc my principal concern is my immune system. Also energy, etc). I went to the ER the other day bc of a bad reaction to Paxlovid, I had presumed covid (multiple close contacts, ie, my kids

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

Early morning blood tests
I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have

This was a private test in October. I didnt want to add more Levo so following advice decoded to try some T3. Added 6.25mcg

Low TSH & Low T4

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

Low phosphate levels linked to hypothyroidism?
Hi all, I am under close monitoring for my kidneys by a renal consultant. I had severe acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis last year and am very slowly improving. At my recent six monthly blood test, my phosphate levels had dropped and they are now below range. The trend for this has been dropping

How often to increase t3
I started on 6.25 mcg of t3 and increased by 6.25 every 5-7 days. I've been on 31.25 mcg for 2 weeks now and feel exactly the same= dreadful. Shall I keep increasing or wait? I'm also taking 50 mcg of t4. I'm monitoring and taking iron, b12 and vitamin d. I was also taking selenium but stopped now.
