? T3 and TSH
So, I've written before, and I started taking only T3. At about 100-125mcg per day all at once in the morning (bc my principal concern is my immune system. Also energy, etc). I went to the ER the other day bc of a bad reaction to Paxlovid, I had presumed covid (multiple close contacts, ie, my kids

Blood test results
Hi,I started levothyroxine (25mcg) approx 6 weeks ago after diagnosis. Bloods retested today and TSH is 5.1. Previous results were 7 and 8.I have an appointment with the GP this week and presume they will want to increase the dose. Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment

Goitre
I’ve a 4cm goitre on my thyroid plus a lot of smaller nodules. Does this mean my thyroid is not working as well as it should? Im always so fatigued and have put on a stone although my eating habits having changed.

My fatigue is ridiculous and wake up feeling shattered. I struggle getting through a day and find I need to sleep. I have

Latest blood tests - low T3
What to do next? Advice welcome please 🙏 Hi all, I 've been on 75 mcg levo for about 9 weeks. Results since January show conversion mostly dropping as I increase Levo. I just retested, after waiting a few weeks to see if symptoms settled. Test results in photo. Endo could see conversion wasn't good

Thyroid feels sore but I am on my normal amount despite my last TSH being 0.02.
Recently my blood test showed TSH 0.02 with normal T4 and T3. The doctor tried to drop my medication but I stood my ground. However I have developed sore thyroid over the last few days. Could it be too much levothyroxine as the doctor said.

Tonsil Stones from IVF Treatment - Anyone Else?
I began my first cycle of IVF back in the summer of 2020. Whilst in treatment and injecting Gonal F, I started having tonsil stones. These are debris that builds up and sit in your tonsils causing some discomfort. I ended up doing 4 rounds of IVF so obviously the drugs/hormones messed up my body somewhat

Low TSH & Low T4

Suppressed TSH on combined therapy
Is there data/medical papers I can give my doctor as to why T3 is suppressed on combination therapy? I have tried looking at the Nice guidelines but they all seem against using combination therapy.Thanks Sue
