Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

First test results after adding T3 - I’m confused!
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your help with my latest results and welcome ideas for suggested next steps. Just a reminder, I currently self-treat. In October I posted the following results (Randox) whilst on 62.5mcg of Levo (Eutirox): TSH 1.44 (0.35-5.5) FT4 18.2 (11.9-21.6) FT3 3.96 (3.1

Thyroid, anemia, cortisol and fake menopause - iron IV on Monday
Hey everyone,I have been struggling recently with a lot of symptoms, mainly crushing fatigue to the point of dizziness and blurry vision. After years of trying different meds, it is now clear I don't tolerate meds because of other factors. I clearly need higher dose of thyroid meds, but they don't work

never loose hope upping NDT!!
bit of back story, I have been on 1 grain of NDT for 3.5 years (with added t4). Every time I upped 1/4 grain I would get hyper symptoms and it would push my t3 over range. So I had no choice but to add levo in (tirosint). T4 seems to make me feel worse and worse the higher I go in doses with extreme

adrenal gland & thyroid
I recently read a book “The Great Thyroid Scandal (and how to avoid it)’ and “ticked” my way through the book as I have had 90% of the various symptoms detailed in the book for the past 30 years. It suggested that the adrenal gland & thyroid work closely together & if thyroid is not functioning as it

Recommendation re supplements
Hi allI'm fairly new to the forum and I'm finding all your info and wealth of experience extremely helpful. Have learnt that addressing possible nutritional deficiencies is important before Thyroid hormone therapy can be optimally effective. I have Hashimotos and recently posted full thyroid panel results

This is a new thing for me… I’ve had fibromyalgia for years but started with a pain the outside of my right thigh - originally smaller than my palm (it’s now much larger) I’ve had a cortisone injection which did nothing. I’ve tried naproxen. Today the pain is starting in the other leg. It’s affecting

Cortisone Injections
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I have bursitis in my hip, and my GP has recommended a corrisone injection as part of my treatment plan. He has advised that I should speak to my hematologist before having the injection as it could cause bleeding and bruising. I asked my hematologist about it

Hair loss while tapering Prednisone
Hi. Yet another issue. My hair has started falling out in clumps. I am devastated. I had some loss when I was on Pred at different times over the last 5 years especially in the beginning. I began tapering to 2 mg then 1 in late spring and maintaining that except with some flares when I took more. This

low cortisol
I saw the Rheumy doctor over a month ago and her flippant diagnosis mirrored so many others’. About the same time a random telephone health check from my health centre showed my BP was 175/75 and I was quickly prescribed amlodopine . The rheumatologist was adamant my symptoms did not reflect PMR

Possible Prednisone Allergy?
Hi all, I'm a GCA patient, diagnosed in AUG 2022. I started on 60 MG pred and have weaned down to 10 MG at present. About 2 months ago I started getting an unusual rash on my hands and wrists -- back then it was only reddish. But it kept getting worse and worse, and now it's an actual bumpy rash

private consult
I went to see the private endocrinologist consultant. He was very much guided by the GP letter. Low cortisol saliva test - I’m going back on Monday morning for private blood tests x3 to rule out a rare pituitary condition. He feels certain i do not have it. Multi nodular goitre - it is visibly larger
