Hello, I am looking for some advice please.My hairdresser takes thyroxin and Glowwa. My doctor says I can't take Glowwa. I am confused and not sure if he is right or if he just had not checked properly. Does anyone know? Many thanks.

T3 starting dose too high?
Hi all, looking for some advice. Have had hashi's for 3 years and my GP has had me undermedicated for all of that time (25mg Levo rising to 50mg after about 1. years and only 7 weeks ago he allowed me to increase to 75mg at weekends and 50mg during the week). My results in February were: FT4: 14.6

Hi I was formally diagnosed with Graves’ disease in May 23 . In reality I’d probably had it a while as I’d been in denial about thyroid eye symptoms for a few months but it was the increasing intolerance to hot weather that drove me to the GP. At diagnosis my T4 was around 60, T3 around 25 and I was

Blood Tests
Hello I am 2 years post menopausal. I had blood tests done recently and my Alkaline Phosphate & Serum Gamma GT level have come back out of normal range. Has anyone else had this? I’m wondering if menopause is linked to higher Liver readings.

Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

new to NHS in Northern Ireland
Hi there. Moved to NI two years ago. The local GP won't prescribe anything other than T4 and won't refer to an endocrinologist. Does anyone in Belfast know an NHS or private endocrinologist who is open-minded to using T3 as a supplement to the T4 therapies? I'm feeling poorly and they just accept

How do you come down from the pred high?
I wrote what follows as a response to someone else mentioning the pred high but then realised it should have been a new post. So here it is again, edited and with a heading. I seem to feel hyperactive all the time, at the moment, especially if I do exercises. Last night I went out to the local exercise

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests
