Low t3 with high t4, graves.
I'm not sure what's happening. I've had one episode of toxic nodule hyperthyroidism back in 2015, hemithyroidectomy in 2018. Then I got graves (unrelated apparently) in 2022. My t4 was 63, my t3 was 30! so was on carb until June 2023. I've not been on any meds since. Following my thyroid through private

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

Ketones inhibit PCa, in the lab of course, but still...
Just came across an article about this study from Duke researchers. Interesting possibility for dietary intervention? Researchers stress that it's not about the diet, but presence of ketones.

Blood Test Results Help Please
I have just got my blood test results back. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1994. My TSH is low & my T4 is low in the range. The lab refused to test my T3. My Folate is low & I feel my B12 is at the low end of the range (to feel well). My GP has just texted me re the Folate, but ignored

I have a blood test booked for 8.40 next Monday. The form says: FBC, Ferritin, Liver function, Thyroid function, Vitamin D. At the moment I supplement with Vitamins B12, B complex, C, D, K2 and Turmeric, Selenium and Magnesium. I have stopped B complex but is there anything else I should stop before

Referred to private Endo - London; advice and recommendations please
Hi all, I have just been referred by the GP to an Endo. I was hoping that someone could privately DM me with recommendations for private endos in central London. I am also wondering whether I could be suffering from Hashimotos hyperthyroid flare ups: To recap; I have hashimotos, and had a hemithyroidectomy

Peak flow app with reminders
Can anyone recommend a peak flow recording app for iPhone that notifies you when it’s time to take a measurement? I’ve been using asthma md but it doesn’t have this feature and I keep forgetting to take my peak flow. Thanks in advance.
