Is my T4 still too high ?
I’ve just had my bloods done and my results are the same as last year except my T3 has come down from 6.2 to 6.0 I take 100mcg 5 days & 75mcg 2 days a week along with 10mcg Thybon all in one dose.My question is should I reduce Thyroxine to try to bring it down a bit more as I’ve read there are risks

Armour help, please
I’ve been trialing Armour thyroid for 4 weeks (1/2 grain twice daily) - having changed from 125mg Levothyroxine / 5mg Liothyronine. These are my latest results. TSH 5.25 (0.35 - 4.94) T3 3.4 (2.4 - 6) T4 - 8 (9 - 19.1) My results in April were: TSH 0.19 (0.35 - 4.94) T3 4.2 (2.4 - 6) T4 12.4

creatinine in old age--an interesting question
I am 76 year old Indian man with excellent health and no health issues like B.P, thyroid, Liver lssues, Diabetes etc.,No protein in urine. Even all my my kidney parameters are normal including all electrolytes, BUN, Uric Acid, Urea etc. etc. My nephrologist says that not to worry. Just monitor creatinine

I'm on T3 medication only, which was prescribed very reluctantly by my NHS endo. I've slowly upped my dose over the last 12 months, and whilst he was happy (ish) to prescribe 60mcg per day, he pretty much flipped his lid at our last appointment in January when I told him I was taking 80mcg (and all in

Thyroid test denied
Hi everyone, I'm very confused right now. For the first time in fifteen years, I had a GP asking all sorts of irrelevant questions when I asked my thyroid to be tested and the Free T3 included. In the end, according to them, the lab didn't test the FRee T3. Obviously, this is due to the GP's input

Update on Hyperthyroid depression
I have seen an endocrinologist who started me on carbimazole on May 22nd for hyperthyroidism, my levels at that time were TSH, T3 5.3 (3.1-6.8), I am wondering if the levels are dropping too quickly as I feel so depressed but anxious at the same time, very cold feeling inside, bad brain fog, my doctor

My doctors won’t investigate
Typically I suffer with chronic symptoms of low B12 but all my results seem to be ignored by GP. My ferritin is 35 ug/L (indeterminate), vitamin b12 is 157ng/L (low) and in my FBC my MCV is 95.5 (just below higher cut off) and MCH is 32.1 (slightly high - comment on blood test is ‘no action despite having

Lung volume test
My appointment for my Feno test finally arrived on Friday but I didn't know that it included a whole range of other tests too including a lung volume test. I didn't realise how badly my respiratory failure back in April had affected me but as soon as they closed the door of the compartment I felt sheer

Borderline TSH during cancer treatment
Hi folks! Haven't been on here for some time but in the interim I have been treated for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Had chemo in September last year which was successful (minus a few hiccups like fungal pneumonia that put me in ICU!) and currently on home oral chemo, antifungals and antibiotics daily

FEV1 rapid decline
I bought one of these portable spirometers which measures FEV1 and shows results on digital display. The results vary but the best indicates a 10% decline on figure from physician’s PFT 9 months ago. Definitely using the device correctly. Anyone tried these machines? I’m hoping the figures are inaccurate

Struggling introducing T3
Hi all, I knew I’d be back before too long as I’m totally useless when it comes to introducing T3! Bit annoying as I obviously need it. Here are my results when I was on 87.5mcg Levo daily with no T3. TSH 0.007 (0.27-4.2) Free T3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) Free thyroxine 23.1 (12-22) Over the last couple
