Falling asleep troubles getting me down
I’ve come along way but this is getting me down. I cannot sleep before 12, often 1am, Wednesday was after 3am. I’ve taken sleeping tablets for a few years (low dose Amitriptyline) and gawd that helped massively resulting in a good 7hours sleep from midnight. I’m titrating NDT Armour and in January

Tapered to zero Pred (DSNS)
I am now wondering how long it takes for my blood glucose to return to a normal range? I've been eating a strict keto diet for the last 20 months, I've been increasingly active as I've tapered down (play tennis 2-3 times a week, use the gym and walk the dog daily for 1hr +) My average glucose, taken

t3/t4 combo advice please
I am feeling very fed up, very low and like I can’t keep going with all this… Saw endo last month and was advised to take 7.5 t3 and choice of whether I wanted to drop to 50 or 62.5mcg levo - down from 75. I opted to stick with 62.5 levo as 50 had no symptom relief before! I started slow adding 2.5

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

DI02 Gene test
As if I hadn’t spent sufficient thousands on trying to find the answers I went and did a DI02 test to see whether I had difficulty in converting T4 to T3. Primarily to present my findings to the endo in the hope I may get Liothyronine on the NHS. The result came back saying the TT genotype appears

Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and T3
I'm raising my thyroid Medication. In the past couple of months I was taking T4 71 mcg/T3 18 mcg. My cortisol level is flat all day based on four point Saliva Test and suffering from adrenal fatigue. I asked my doctor to increase T3 so she prescribed T3 in small doses 3.5 mcg so I can add it and find

A friend
last Saturday night we went for a lovely Thai meal with a couple who we hadn’t seen for a while. (Since I began my own thyroid nightmare). The lady has had a lifelong battle with obesity, has had a gastric reduction, eats very little and is still, sadly very obese. I can empathise with this but was

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

Is there a study using 100mcg of T3?
Hello everyone. Is there a study in which a group treated with t3 monotherapy receives at least 100mcg of liothyronine? I want to convince my doctor to increase my dose, and I noticed that he is only interested in studies. He thinks that even 60 mcg was a super high dose and he hardly wanted to give

for the collective wisdom please: Radio iodine ablation 13/12/19 21/11/23 Mono treatment T4 @ 175mcg TSH below range FT3 5.23 (3.5-6.8) FT4 16.8 (7.8-18) Doctor reduced dose to 150! Without consultation My 2 cents: TSH not relevant still only mid range FT3. So need combined T3/T4 treatment.

Questions about rise in HbA1c
Hi, I started on prednisolone 20mgs on 26th January this year for 4 weeks, tapering 1mg every two weeks, currently on 16mgs (10 mgs am, 6mgs pm). HbA1c last August was 5.5% , result last week was 6% (42.0 mol/mol). My diet has been much the same throughout although I’ve been trying to reduce carbs further

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

GP appointment update
I posted a few days ago and sadly had no replies! But anyway I had my GP appointment this morning. Explained everything that's been going on, showed her my test results, and her answer to that was i will probably develop an OVERactive thyroid eventually 🤦🏻♀️ How she came to that conclusion I do

Generic Teriflunomide
Hi, I’ve been taking Aubagio for almost 6 years now and had been very pleased with the medication. No new plaques or lesions issues were found on my MRIs and I hadn’t noticed any side effects which were caused by the medication. Taking Aubagio was a great improvement over Avonex for me as I had pretty
