Please help with dosing
I feel that it might be a bit too much medication so I think I should decrease either t4 or t3. Which one would you advice to decrease? Am currently taking 100 t4 and 10t3. I don't have results for this dose but from previous doses87.5+5 Ft3 4.6 (3.5-6.5) Ft4 15(12-23) 100t4 Ft3 4.8 (3.5-6.5) Ft4 17

Difficulty obtaining Advanz/Mercury Pharma T3
Once again I am having difficulty obtaining the above T3. This time I'm being told that they are no longer manufacturing the product. I telephoned Advanz and they tell me otherwise - that the problem lays with the supplier - Alliance. This is the third time I have had to changed pharmacies

Radioiodine treatment

I have been getting side effects from taking carbimazole tablets so my GP wrote to the endo dept ,they have wrote back saying because I am getting side effects from the carbimazole the next step will be to consider permament

I keep changing dose, feeling better, then having a flare-up of mysterious symptoms, then feeling worse again.
I (31F) was diagnosed with Hashimoto's exactly one year ago. Before then, I spent 2 years trying to convince public healthcare that I was having hypothyroid symptoms, but my TSH kept coming back at 2.5 so they dismissed me. In August 2023 I saw a private endo and she put me on levo as my TSH came back

A bit of an update...
It has been a while since I posted in this group about my having hematuria in my urine. I have had many tests done and no doctor has told me what is causing it. The last specialist who did a cystoscopy and 2 cat scans has alluded to my kidneys not filtering properly. I do have protein in my urine also

Thyroid Testing
My husband, almost 72, just had blood work with everything good except cholesterol (little high 227) and high TSH 7.93, slightly low T4. He has no symptoms of hypothyroidism! Since he has no symptoms, we're waiting 3 months to retest and T3 also, and he works 45 hours a week loading and unloading yard

TWW Started 5/5/24
Hello, is anyone else starting the TWW? I did a pregnancy test with clear blue before the transfer and it came up positive due to Ovitrelle, very faint line. Certainly going to stop me testing too early lol. I took Ovitrelle on 29th July, I'm hoping it will be out of my system soon, it says 10 days 🤞

I’m currently taking levothyroxine - 75 4 days a week and 100 3 days a week. Latest test results are T4 21.7 and TSH 1.92. Time to change my dosage or continue? I can’t get an appointment with anyone sensible now for over a week

Wanting to trial T3
To cut a long story short I have been on Levothyroxine for over 20 years. Recently diagnosed with chronic fatigue. As a result of this I have consulted a Functional Medicine practioner & found out that I have Hashimotos (no surprise) & my T3 level is very low despite high T4. I'm looking at seeing

T3 trial
I’ve been fortunate to have been given a trial of T3 on the NHS 😊👏🏼 The pharmacy weren’t able to supply immediately, as they had to order it in. What can I expect, health wise in the next few weeks? Does it have a dramatic effect, or does it take months for any noticeable changes ? I understand

Mood change on T3?
I've just recently started t3 initially 2.5mg twice a day now 5mg twice a day. I've noticed my mood is insane. Feel quite low and serious anger outbursts. T4 is still 125mg. I'll be decreasing to 100mg once I increase t3 to 10mg twice a day as per endos instruction. I don't have a thyroid. Also take

Very Low TSH normal T4/T3 Doc wants to lower Levothyroxine dose
Since first being diagnosed hypothyroid, my TSH has generally been low. One consultant thought that taking me off completely would sort it out. I was ill for months, lost hair and took a long time to recover. I'm not keen on 'reducing' my dose while my energy levels are okay. Today my doc wants to lower

Post TT blood results
This is my first tests since TT 7 weeks ago.I'm on 150mg levothyroxine Endo nurse will probably reduce my medication tomoz. Am I right in thinking serum free triiodothyronine is T3 and means my body is adequately converting T4 to T3?

homozygous, so I have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve had a thought 💭
I’m homozygous/have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve have higher ferritin levels over past 7/8 years ranges from circa 180 upto 380 at times. I found out as hubby bought me a Family history genetic test as a present and it included health DNA results. For years & prior to the genetic test & since, I have

Genetic testing
Has anybody utilized genetic testing for more accurate medication options in treating their depression and what has been your experience with the success of this route. Thanks for any input anyone has on this subject.

Tiromel Potency
For those using Tiromel T3 have you ever experienced differences in batch potency. My latest batch seems much stronger than my previous one. I'm feeling over replaced on it even though I've not changed dosage. On that note should I reduce the T3 or reduce my Levo?
