Should I decrease Levo after first week with t3? Lab results
Had Graves and total total thyroidectomy 2014. Was on 100 Levo and felt ok ( maybe oversubscribed with Tsh 0,5 and t4 always in the upper end) until 2 years ago when I had a lot of stomach issues due to stress and anxiety. Now when I supplement with betaine hcl and digestive enzymes it’s so much better

Can't Find Accurate Description of Liothyronine (T3)
Yikes! I have been searching on Google for an accurate description of the drug liothyronine. So far, nearly all of the sites describe it this way: "Liothyronine is a man-made form of a hormone that is normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Liothyronine

Can you point me to a supplier of T3/Liothyronine please?
Desperately need a supply of Cytomel or Tiromel. My usual place in Thailand shut down. Been trying to pay a place in Bulgaria but the wire transfer won't work. I am very worried as I am running low on my current Cytomel. I cannot function on Levo alone, I will be bed ridden. Help please. (FYI yes I

Cynomel 0.025 mg is ok to start with after slow T3?
Hi, I have finished taking slow T3 after 3 months along with my Levo 150 mg. The effect was good but not good enough. Since I can only get it privately and the cost is very high, my doc prescribed me with Cynomel (Sanofi) 0.025 mg to start with half a pill for 3 days and increase slowly. I guess my questions

Bovine thyroid supplements
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has good experiences with bovine thyroid supplements from new zealand. After changing from armour (which worked perfectly) to erfa (not so good for me) to synthetic L thyroxine and cytomel, I gained a lot of weight. Would novothyral be better? I have a new orthomelcular

Who is up for solving this thyroid/perimenopausal puzzle?! I desperately need some help! 🙏🏻
I have Hashimotos which was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I started on Levo and after increasing my dosage, I felt worse. A friend of mine with Hashimotos suggested that I probably was not converting T4 to T3 and could try to take NDT because of the T3 in it. Luckily I found a doctor who prescribed it

Thyroid blood test
I am scheduled to have a fasting blood test by my gp, I am going to combine my thyroid blood test too.

Usually I have my blood tested @3 pm after

Negative Interaction effects of T4 with T3 yet I do need both
I have recently gone off NDT- ERFA because I swear I had a bad batch or something changed in the formula -although the manufacturer in Canada denies both possibilities. So now I am trying to balance new meds- Euthyrox T4and Cytomel T3. My blood test now shows that I have a normal T4- 14 a very low TSH
