Help, GP appointment tomorrow still can't get them to listen.
So the saga continues, Sneaky GP has refused to reinstate 150mcg daily since reducing it to 150mcg eod in November when TSH 0.01 , 0.27- 4.2, FT4 21.6 12-22, .my HbA1c went up to 54 Vit D 125 , Endo recently said this level was dangerously toxic thought the range BH anyway of 75-200 was optimal

Impact of levothyroxine on thyroid direct production of T3
My understanding is the thyroid produces both T4 and T3 although the majority of our T3 comes from conversion of T4 to T3. If we are taking thyroxine only (T4), which is lowering TSH, would it effectively cause a decrease in the amount of T3 being produced directly by the thyroid gland in the scenario

Help to keep T3 at correct level
Hello, I need some help please. I have recently had a couple of bouts of Atrial Fibrillation, May and July. My GP registrar wrote to the endocrinology team to ask for advise because my TSH was 0.02. The endo (who I have never met) has written back and said to halve my dose of T3 from 20mcg to 10mcg

Ferritin update
Hello. As I mentioned before I have a monthly blood test. This time I asked for details regarding my ferritin levels. At my previous test it was 144. I believe that's a good reading. Thanks
