Hi everyone, My first post here. I’d be interested in opinions on my most recent Medichecks results. Levels have been a little erratic in the last couple of years with the smallest possible dose changes (+/- 25mcg per week). I also have IBS. I’ve been in the hypothyroid game a long time so I’m very

Help please,where do I go from here??
Hi everyone, I have had my repeat bloods and everything has come back ‘satisfactory’. I know that doesn’t mean optimal but I also know I’m going to have a hard time convincing the doctor that! I had my free T4 and anti bodies tested at the hospital when I saw the consultant last week, I have requested

Struggling, should I try increase now?
Good morning, Following my post last week, I am now really struggling with hypo symptoms which I think is more to do with reduction of the levo than addition of T3. I didn’t want to rush adding extra T3, have now been on 2.5 T3 for 8 days with levo (87.5x3 & 100x4 days) as I react so badly to changes

types of T3
Hi all I currently take Roma T3 capsules my prescription is due for renewal and I’m interested to know what other types of T3 are available and what people’s experience is with them. I’m not 100% sure the Roma capsules agree with me, it is also hard to split doses before blood tests. As always, very

New prescription of ERFA with levo decrease
Hi everyone I've recently had my first consult with a recommended Endo on TUK list and also some people in my local thyroid group. Mostly good reviews but one person unhappy with him. He's putting me on NDT as says I'm not converting FT4 to FT3 as I suspected. So sorry its so long, I've tried to ask

Help for a friend please
Please could someone have a look at my friend’s recent blood test results. Some years ago, she can’t remember when, she was diagnosed with borderline hypothyroidism and given medication for this. She can’t remember what this was or the dose but the doctor told her to stop taking it after a short while

Is my T4 still too high ?
I’ve just had my bloods done and my results are the same as last year except my T3 has come down from 6.2 to 6.0 I take 100mcg 5 days & 75mcg 2 days a week along with 10mcg Thybon all in one dose.My question is should I reduce Thyroxine to try to bring it down a bit more as I’ve read there are risks

Advice re first blood tests after adding in T3
How long should I wait before taking my first blood test after adding in T3 and reducing thyroxine? What timings should I follow re taking my meds? I'm currently 5/6 weeks in of adding 5mcg of Roma T3 in hard capsule, which I take at 7am. I take my thyroxine at 11pm. I was taking 6 x125/1x100. Endo

Boom!! Dexa Scan Normal.
I'm on T3 medication only, which was prescribed very reluctantly by my NHS endo. I've slowly upped my dose over the last 12 months, and whilst he was happy (ish) to prescribe 60mcg per day, he pretty much flipped his lid at our last appointment in January when I told him I was taking 80mcg (and all in

Thyroid test denied
Hi everyone, I'm very confused right now. For the first time in fifteen years, I had a GP asking all sorts of irrelevant questions when I asked my thyroid to be tested and the Free T3 included. In the end, according to them, the lab didn't test the FRee T3. Obviously, this is due to the GP's input

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this
