MMA results - supplements or further test?
Can I ask for your advice please? I have Hashmito’s. Since learning that this can influence the absorption of nutrients, I have been to the doctor’s to request tests. Last B12 test: 229 ng/l (190-910) I used B12 symptoms checklist which suggests severe deficiency. Neither of this seemed to worry

Side effects on combination therapy : thyroxine and T3
I have been on combination therapy for about 7 weeks. I have noticed I am quite breathless and this looks like it can be related but unusual. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Another adjustment
Ok, so my table needed to first :-) not sure how to move it down, but please read below... First, thanks for this great community. I have benefited from lots of wisdom and experience over the past three years. Last year my endo freaked when my TSH was low. I attempted to stand up for myself, but

new results, looking for opinion before end appointment
just another blood test, last one was in may. my levo was increased from 50mcg to 75mcg, I had been on a 100mcg before. I also take 15mcg T3 spilt in 3 doses. Two things stick out to me the high cortisol and Magnesium. I had a 24 hours cortisol urine test which showed it to be low. Weight still going

Preparing for thyroid blood tests
This is my first posting so please forgive me if this sounds confusing. I am slated to have NHS knee replacement surgery but following my pre-op assessment have been dropped from the list because of abnormal thyroid levels. No information has been offered about the levels, what is abnormal about them

Temp advice please
My temperature was 35.3 this morning and has been below this. I thought I might be overmedicated but I am unsure if this is under treatment due to a strong medication I have been given for an infection (or if this is unrelated). My cheeks have been puffy and I feel unwell and I am not sure if I need

New T3 prescription help please
After 3 years my endo finaly prescribed a trial of T3....but, as some have mentioned on here...it seems like they almost set you up to fail. What I mean by this is that I've been on Levo for 25+ years and the Endo has prescribed 12.5mcg twice daily, making it 25mcg a day !!! which (I may be mistaken)

Any experience with Roderick Lane? Please PM me. Thank you
Hello, like others who have posted similar requests on here before, I am considering a consultation with Roderick Lane. There do not seem to be any reviews of him and I am wary of seeing any practitioners without a recommendation due to previous experience. I am currently on T4 and T3 and adrenal cortex

RLS and changing meds
I have been on roprinerole xl (2mg and 4 mg) and the regular. Mostly I take the regular one because the insurance companies don't like to pay for the extended release. Right now, I cut a 4mg regular into 4 equal parts. I take two parts at night, so that's a 2 mg at bedtime and 1 and 1 earlier during

Advice finding thyroid specialist
Hi, my T4 levels have dropped from 20 to 15 since having an increase in Levothyroxine and feeling unwell with hypothyroid symptoms, it's just dismissed by NHS Endochrinologist & docs. My health and physical ability has diminished since taking Levothyroxine over the past year. So I'm looking for a Private

low ferritin/T3 capsules
hi everyone.. My ferritin test result is 24 (10-300) Nice guidelines say under 30 can have iron infusion? Should I push for that? I picked up my T3 prescription and was planning on splitting them but they are 10mcg capsules.Roma is the brand. I do have 2 boxes of the Greek brand from unipharma

Most people over 70 should consider taking statins, study finds
I want to emphasise right at the start, "[i]The authors cautioned that this was an observational study, and as such, could not establish cause and effect[/i]." I suspect that there will have been a degree of self-selection out of the study - e.g. those who have ever had an adverse reaction to a statin

My symptoms have returned - do I need additional Levothyroxine?
Lots of info in my Profile/Biography. I have been on T4 for many years. After adding privately-sourced T3 to my prescribed T4 around 2019 I have been jogging along reasonably well until a year or so ago, when symptoms started to return. Extreme tiredness, inexplicable weight gain, bad brain fog, and
