Tapered to zero Pred (DSNS)
I am now wondering how long it takes for my blood glucose to return to a normal range?

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

Low T4 still T3 improving
Hi every one just after a little advice in the hope that my Endocrine nurse will call me after my last results last Friday.

DI02 Gene test
As if I hadn’t spent sufficient thousands on trying to find the answers I went and did a DI02 test to see whether I had difficulty in converting T4 to T3. Primarily to present my findings to the endo in the hope I may get Liothyronine on the NHS. The result came back saying the TT genotype appears

Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and T3
I'm raising my thyroid Medication. In the past couple of months I was taking T4 71 mcg/T3 18 mcg. My cortisol level is flat all day based on four point Saliva Test and suffering from adrenal fatigue. I asked my doctor to increase T3 so she prescribed T3 in small doses 3.5 mcg so I can add it and find

T3 Advice
I have been on 112 Tirosint for 3 months. I am apathetic, irritable, sleeping a lot and have crazy muscle pains. Based on below labs, I convinced my doc to add in T3. She dropped Tirosint to 100 and said add 5mcg of liothyronine. Should I give it a couple weeks on just 100 before adding in t3? Should

Is there a study using 100mcg of T3?
Hello everyone. Is there a study in which a group treated with t3 monotherapy receives at least 100mcg of liothyronine? I want to convince my doctor to increase my dose, and I noticed that he is only interested in studies. He thinks that even 60 mcg was a super high dose and he hardly wanted to give
