Slow release T3?
I have just been in contact with a nurse/doctor who says she has slow release T3 in 5mg tablets. Yes you read that right - 5MG!! One lick of that would probably kill me! She went on to ask how long I had been taking T3 as one should only take it for 6 weeks or else I could get permanent thyroid deficiency

Management of Carbimazole/hyperthyroidism and other symptoms
Hi all, I’m new here, I’ve written out my history in my profile including all test results so won’t go into too much depth. Essentially found to have hyperthyroidism in October and have been on 15mg Carbimazole a day since then. The doctor openly told me she ‘doesn’t know much about hyperthyroidism as

Has anyone whose tried T3 and NDT felt better on just T4?
A little bit of history - thyroidectomy aged 21. More or less fine on just T4 for 20 plus years. I then saw an Endo about parathyroid issues in 2018 at which point he suggested ERFA because he felt lots of my symptoms were related to my thyroid and T3 conversion. Since then I’ve tried many different

Confused and scared and looking for insights :-)
Hi all :) I'm a little confused about what's happening in my body and am in the middle of investigations. To cut my story as short as possible: - Last May and again in June I had a very subtle rash on my cheeks that lasted a day each time. It was accompanied with itching over my face, up the inside

Today was the day.
Relatively unique to me, my body comes out in rashes when my lungs are struggling. The rashes can come out of nowhere and will often split my skin. In a couple of area's they have permanently changed my skin. I see a great dermatology consultant who said she's never seen anything like what i have.

back to the drawing board with aches & pains
My OH was put on a 10-day course for what the doc suspected was a viral infection or a bronchial reaction to Tamsulosin. Hubby felt absolutely brilliant while taking the Pred, but since he stopped them 2 days ago, his old age aches & pains have returned. Hey ho. But so far he’s not had the return of

Heavy legs and low energy feeling
My recent thyroid results showed a below range T3, and I have been having trouble with a brand of thyroxine and feeling generally unwell as previously posted with some helpful advice. But, I have a feeling of heavy legs and low energy and wondered whether when the T3 is low it can cause this? I am

Unable to source tiromel
I have been taking tiromel for a couple of years. I source it myself but see an endo privately for support and to help get my T4 from GP. My usual online pharmacy has been out of stock for a couple of months. Can anyone message me with a source of tiromel. My current stock is out of date.

Low TSH
Hi - I've got my 3rd lot of results from Medichecks since March which I will take to appointment with private Endo. Test taken fasting with no meds beforehand and at 8:55am I'm pleased with levels of folate, B12 and Vit D which I've worked on. Ferritin has gone down though. The T3 is low of course

I have PA, all was going well, but now they're trying to mess with my b12 perscipton!!!
Hi all,I'm a long time lurker, but haven't posted myself in a while. About 8 years ago, I was fighting to save my right leg due to bone tumors. 12 surgeries later, I lost that fight. During that time, I started losing weight, tons of anxiety, palpitations ect...This would all be normal reaction to this

Hi all, I got some private tests done (attached) and I have to say I’m surprised as they seem to point to me being hyperthyroid but have all the symptoms of hypo. Can someone explain to me please? Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious anaemia and am getting B12 injections off

Advice please!
Hi all, I’m new here, but I’ll try to be as brief as possible! I’ve been treated for Hypothyroidism since 2004 ( diagnosed by the late, great Dr Gordon Skinner by my symptoms and not the biochemistry thankfully) All well for past 19 or so years, on T4 125ug and then T3 4 x 20ug added gradually 12

Recurring infections?

Have been reasonably well and side effects limited to some fatigue and weight gain. However in the month or so before Christmas my

Long story short- long battle to get diagnosis although received in 2019 and Hashimoto’s confirmed. After several attempts to stabilise on mono therapy I was lucky enough after several years of strife and illness to be allocated an endo who listened to me, took cortisol levels (low) addisons test (

blood results
Been on 50mcg for a few months and have recently been feeling awful again, so I requested repeat bloods. Results came back today: TSH 4.37 (0.3-4.2) T4: 13.8 (9-19) T3: 4.6 (3-5.4) really hope the doctors won’t argue about an increase to 75mcg 😭 I feel so shoddy doing even minimal increases so

How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need
