Anybody outside the range
Good afternoon everybody hope this makes sense Is there anybody out there that needs to run outside the ranges in order to feel good? At the moment my t4 and T3 levels are both at the top of the range with a fully suppressed tsh. I take t4 and T3, I maintain all the recommended supplements at or near

looking for a reliable source
I live in the US so any suggestions where I can order T3 /T4 from would be appreciated. I have a dr that I've been going to on and off for years and he's retiring soon and no one is taking over his practice. He's primarily a "diet" dr clinic which is cheaper than going the endo way and believes in NDT

Raised Thyroglobulin ab
Hi. I had a total thyroidectomy and radio iodine treatment in 2016 for Papillary Ca. I've been having annual monitoring since with no concerns. My most recent blood test shows normal thyroglobulin but raised thyroglobulin antibodies at 40. My latest is TSH 0.7 and T4 in normal range. What I want to know

hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

Has anyone had improved thyroid labs or reduced their thyroid medication, after optimising their ferritin, B12, folate, or vitamin D?
I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels. I'd love to hear anyone's stories or experiences of getting these nutrients up, and then finding their TSH, T4 and T3 levels improve and/or they have to reduce their thyroid medication. It would

Hashi's & Menopause/HRT - weight loss help!
Hi all, I have Hashimoto's and have been on levo 75mg with combined HRT (oestrogen patch and progesterone pill) for a few years. Had a total hysterectomy almost 2 years ago, but they left my ovaries, due to extensive endo, adenomyosis and fibroids. But I have literally been stuck in limbo since then

From a Gleason 9 to a clean CT scan in 18 mos.

Buprenorphine Depression Again
Hi All, As I have written before, I live in Brasil where the only access I have to Buprenorphine is in the form of a patch. And it is expensive. So when I was in California recently, I asked my neurologist to write a prescription for Buprenorphine in tablet form. With my insurance it is quite cheap.

Armour Thyroid produced exclusively in USA?
I spoke with Roseway clinic in London who said they get their Armour Thyroid from Canada. I thought it was exclusively manufactured in USA. I came across a Canadian pharmacy called Forest who say they supply Armour Thyroid. Is it identical to Armour Thyroid from USA? Any advice will be greatly appreciated
