Good report
Had my every 6 month check up with the hepatologist today. Labs were all good. My alk phos is 121 - normal range for my lab is 37-153. Kidney function good as well.. always make sure part of your regular lab work is a comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP). Now just to make myself committed to making

Cholesterol prevention Lequio Inqlisiran offered by GP
Few weeks ago, after my last blood test, I have received a letter from my GP surgery that my cholesterol level was slightly raised (I have diabetes type 2, which so far has been successfully controlled for years, by healthy diet). I have Atrial Fibrilation and pacemaker fitted, and therefore I know

Help re endo not increasing T3
I should have had an appointment today with my endocrinologist, but yesterday it was cancelled. This appointment was due to my blood test results, which she already knew, from April, and a reply from the psychiatry dept regarding dosing T3 for mental health. The psychiatrist had replied that whilst

Another visit to Rheumatologist…
Hi, I had a face to face appointment with my Rheumatologist yesterday. My ESR has increased to 97 and CRP 38. He said he’s very concerned about this 🙄. I’ve had 8 injections of Adalimumab since I last saw him for Ankylosing Spondylitis. He has stopped the jabs because he says they aren’t working

Symptoms of a Hashimoto flare
Dear community I am wondering if you could share your insights. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto after a Covid infection in 2022. My thyroid levels seem "normal" under substitution (recent lab): TSH: 171; fT3: 3.9; fT4: 13.8. However, I have flares that seem very clearly to be autoimmune in nature

Thyroid meds with calcium?
Hi, I am taking .100T4 and 4.5 T3 in a.m. I take 4.5 T3 at noon and again at mid-afternoon. I have severe osteoporosis--Tscore -4.1. I am having a very hard time fitting in calcium (two 500mg doses), iron, and magnesium, all of which I need and have to be taken apart from each other. I also take

When to take my T3
Is it ok to take T3 first thing in the morning at the same time as other meds. I take statins and BP meds in the morning and my Levo at night. Or should I just take it at night with my Levo.

TSAT low, ferretin high
Dear fellow sufferers in RLS hell. My sleep medicine doctor suggested an iron infusion because my TSAT is 28,87% while my ferretin is 145,40ng/ml. I was taking iron supplement for 6 months before the test. I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between TSAT and ferritin. How high are

Change to medication
Hi everyone, I have been taking 150mg of thyroxine for over 10 years. At the beginning of the year, I spoke to my doctor because my fatigue was increasing, I didn't feel like myself, and I was having heavy periods. I thought I was starting to become perimenopausal. The doctor said I was depressed

Help with dose and testing please
I’m arranging tests ahead of an endocrinology appointment but realise I’m not sure how to adjust / time my T3 dose ahead of this. I take my 40mcg T3 in a single dose at around 9:30-10pm. I’ve tried breaking the dose down but always feel slightly undermedicated. Seems for me at least the saturating
