urgent help with T3 problem
I started taking T3 13 weeks ago from a private endo. I increased it gradually and am currently on 10mcg twice per day and lowered my levo from 175mg to 150mg. My problem is I actually feel worse than I did before! My last blood test showed that my T3 levels had gone up but could be better but I feel

Peak flow greater AM or PM?
I've seen lots of examples of 'peak flow diaries' or charts etc on line, and I've started one of my own, in an Excel spreadsheet. One thing I noticed was that all the example ones that use a morning and evening reading each day have a lower AM reading and a higher PM reading. Mine are very noticeably

Taking Biotin
Hello, As part of my daily suppliment intake I take the full range of B vitamins (B1-12), which includes 50mcg biotin. As I understand it, this is less than the 20mg which would affect my T4 levels, is that right? And at this dosage do I still need to stop taking this particular suppliment 2 days

How Long Does it Take Lungs to Heal After Quitting Smoking?
How Long Does it Take Lungs to Heal After Quitting Smoking?
Time is the biggest factor when it comes to lung repair after quitting smoking.
Just 12 hours after your last cigarette the carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal. This helps get your body the oxygen it needs

Help with results please 🙏
Hi, been Hashimotos/hypothyroid about 10 years. Was always on 225mg. Since perimenopause they've dropped me to 150 which I was reluctant but had to do. Stayed like this for 3 years but new Dr, new results - she wants to drop me again. Trying to balance HRT to help all pain and symptoms. Scared of how

Struggling, should I try increase now?
Good morning, Following my post last week, I am now really struggling with hypo symptoms which I think is more to do with reduction of the levo than addition of T3. I didn’t want to rush adding extra T3, have now been on 2.5 T3 for 8 days with levo (87.5x3 & 100x4 days) as I react so badly to changes
