Reducing steroids and adrenal symptoms
I’ve recently experienced symptoms which made me think of Pred-induced diabetes. In particular, my metabolism does not seem to adjust properly to food, with post-prandial dips and especially waking up at 3-4am with uncomfortable overheating. But my HbA1c measurement remains around 41, which is just

Help with latest results please for endo appointment
Hi, I recently posted on here and was recommended to get my full thyroid panel done, which I have just done via Medichecks. Test was done at 8am, last dose of Levo 24 hrs before etc.. I have an NHS endo appointment on 24th June. My GP has refused to increase my Levo to date as results are in range. Not

synacthen test
I’m to have a synacthen test next week. I am taking 5 mg of prednisolone daily and have been told to stop the pred 3days before the test. Will this be ok. As have been told never to stop steroids suddenly ?

Genetic background strongly influences the impact of carrying the Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism in the male mouse
Are you male? Are you a mouse? Do you carry the Thr92Ala-DIO2 allele? Can you wait for the publication of this paper? Can you wait for the human version of this trial? And do you consider it necessary to wait for the eventual publication of the human trial before considering T3? It is undoubtedly

If you take a small dose of T3 (6mcg) does this slowly build up in your system or will it get used quickly every day?
I’m taking 6.25mcg of T3 for a week now I just wondered if this will build up in your system similar to T4? I know T4 is the storage hormone so that builds up slowly. I didn’t know whether the 6mcg will build up aswell as I was thinking of adding a little more but I don’t want to add more if it’s still

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

Sudden crash back into fatigue.
After seeing my Endo last week, my T3 was kept the same (5mcg twice a day) and my t4 was put back up to 75. Usually it takes weeks before any difference shows doesn’t it? It wouldn’t be any difference in this case? The day after I started back on the higher dose I felt exhausted, insomnia and poor sleep

I am a bit confused with my latest blood test results that I just received yesterday, and am hoping that you will be able to help me understand what's going on. I'll try to keep it brief, while

reverse t3 testing.
I’m on a journey with t3 so far taking has not affected serum t3 levels and I have read that reverse t3 can block active t3. Has anyone here tested for this and did you find it useful? I understand it is a somewhat controversial test in the medical world Thanks!

Why does Levothyroxine cause weight gain if it treats hypothyroidism, weight gain being a hypo symptom?
Shouldn't it help rectify hypo symptoms not make them worse? This baffles me! I wish I could revert back to Levothyroxine and use it together with T3 as NDT is extortionately priced, and not working brilliantly for me anymore, however, weight gain is my biggest fear, and I read so much about this on

Please help with what to do next?
Or should I ask my GP for blood
test
in case my
ferritin
has gone down? Or (and my GP now asks what the forum think?? Joolsg?? Sue??) Do I ask if I can go up to 15mg oxy? Or see if he would swop me to buprenorphine? When I speak to him I need to be brief & succinct.
