Gp just rang...🤔
Hi everyone ❤️ A gp as just rang asking me to see her today at 4.45, I have no doubt this is in relation to the letter I wrote to the practice manager in the awful treatment I have received by the surgery concerning synthetic thyroid medication they have been pushing on me the last 5 years. I think

Interpreting results
I'm fairly new to this. I got a Hashimoto's diagnosis at the beginning of the year and started on Levo in January. My TSH wasn't massively high (6.3) but I have symptoms so they agreed but started me on a really low dose of 25mcg. I recently increased to 50mcg and have just had my bloods to review

Advice T3 vs TSH levels
Hi All - I've been following advice on supplements and timing of tests but NHS has problems with results and need advice as what to do - I take Armour NDT with Levo. Haven't had a conversation with them about it, changing practices and moving back to the states for a period of time but will be back

cost of meds wondering to switch to T3 and use Levo again ..advice/experiences please
hi lovely forum folks quick question (well quick as I can make it!) My Erfa runs out in 28 days. I’ve contacted Roseway to make an appointment and have asked them this question … can I switch from ERFA to liothyronine (T3 spelling 🤔) through them, and take levothyroxine again from my GP. I await their

Is it ethical for GP to withdraw thyroid meds with no notice?
I've been on combination Levo and Armour for 20 years or so and well since 2016 when and NHS endo sorted out the levels and backed NHS prescribing Armour. On Monday the Armour was removed from my repeat script. I moved 2 years ago and the new GP's have written the script because I have the backing

Feeling hyper - why?
Below are my results from last week on 2 grains of armour for about 3 weeks, reduced to 1 for about 2 weeks then half for another 2. I reduced because I felt really unwell. I stopped entirely for 4 days and yesterday I took 50mcg of Levo. I feel like I’m on a stimulant. I’m not complaining as up until

T3 and magnesium / electrolyte supplements: I messed up, but is it just the supplements to blame?
I have been on the same dose of T4 and T3 for the last 7 months ( T4: 82mcg and T3:22.5 mcg). I was then diagnosed with ADHD end of April and started taking Lisdexamfetamine plus electrolyte supplements. (Magnesium citrate, plus : Electrolyte complex - Ingredients: Calcium salts of orthophosphoric

what’s new?
I previously posted requesting any recommendations for a local endo and totally understand why this was shut down but thought it would make more sense to ask a separate question for the second part of my post. It’s now about 10 years since I last saw an endocrinologist and have been managing my thyroid

I’m fine. Really?
Brain fog is a brilliant description that no one can really understand until they experience it. I feel like my brain is surrounded by a thick cotton wool-like layer that makes me want to just lie down and close my eyes - except that makes me dizzy. What the heck is happening to me? I’m 65 and moved

amoxycillin interaction with T4+T3?
Just been prescribed a week’s amoxycillin for a chest infection (3 times a day)!😞 I take first T4/T3 of the day at 7am+following T3 at 2pm + final T3 at 8pm. I can change round the two T3s to fit in with antibiotics but how do I fit the amoxycillin in without affecting the T3+T4? Confused.com!!🤓

Hi Guys, New to this forum but have 7 years tackling & experimenting with nutrition for Hashimotos. With a keen background in nutrition I was determined to address it with this and avoid any thyroid drug interaction if possible. My antibodies were as high as 3500 at worst and are now 528 and dropping

New Hashimotos diagnosis
I've been suffering for 4 or so years, 2 years ago had a fibromyalgia diagnosis when nothing else was found. TsH was the only thing ever checked. I went back again last week and demanded more. My TSH is back down from 4 to 1.9mol/l, T4 is 10mol/l, T3 is 4 and two sets of thyroid antibodies at 245. I'm

N.I.C.E to stop the use of Lyiothronine (T3 ) prescribing
I have just heard from my local Pharmacist that she is finding it very difficult to source my T3 as the National Institute for Clinical Excellence is shortly to implement a ban on the use of T3 as they state that.... "Levothyroxine is a safe and acceptable form of therapy for those requiring replacement

Tests to take prior to endo appointment
Hello I have a first appointment with an endocrinologist in 12 days. I've written asking what tests he would like me to take beforehand so as to save time and money at our first meeting. No reply, unfortunately. Clearly, I should be getting MSH, FT3, FT4 and TPO would be required. Any others?

T3 dosage
I’ve been taking T3 now for about 3 weeks I started off on 3mcg twice a day for a week didn’t feel much so I increased to 6mcg twice a day. I still feel like it’s barely touching the sides. My resting heart rate is still in the late 40s early 50s. I’ve also been doing the carnivore diet so I’m probably

Is thyroid causing my symptoms?
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice about my blood test results and whether thyroid issues could be the cause of my symptoms. Also if anyone can recommend a doctor in Cardiff / South Wales I’d really appreciate it. I’ve spent years trying to manage and believing (being told) my symptoms are due to anxiety
