Experiences of NDT v Levo and Lio
Hello again, I have been trialling NDT (2 grains since mid March 2024. I was previously on 75mcg Levo and 10mcg Lio (from NHS Endo) but still had symptoms. Both T4 and T3 levels are better on NDT yet I’m not feeling improvement. The private GP I saw increased my dose to 2.25 grains and I felt jittery

my journey
Hi everyone, thought it was about time I shared my story My journey began Easter 2024. It all started when I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to get the spoon in while eating breakfast, I had to slurp, other meals had to be cut into small pieces. I wasn’t in any pain. The pain began usually around

Any Tips/Advice for Vascular Surgery Appointment coming up…?
I have been referred to see Vascular Surgery and my appointment is in a few weeks. The physio I am seeing for neck and shoulder pain asked my GP to refer me due to frequent left sided pain in my neck arm and shoulder blade and also facial symptoms on left side. She wants to make sure there isn’t anything

Low fT4 in early pregnancy
I recently had my thyroid results and my fT4 is very low 11.8 in an NHS blood test. FT3 was low but in range from my previous private full panel (in my bio). My Levothyroxine has already been increased from 100mg to 125mg in the last few weeks and this seemed to have brought my fT4 up from 10.5 to 11.8

Goitrogens
I've just discovered that there is a group of foods called Goitrogens. Every day I have a berry and Kale smoothy - thinking myself to be very healthy. Now I find out that large amounts of uncooked berries and Kale can cause hypothyroidism and restrict the beneficial effects of Levothyroxine and T3.

I want to give up. I have no energy to keep going.
Hi all, I've been suffering for the past many years. Since 2022 everything went downhill and I had to quit my job as I can't function. I'm 40 years old. I was tested for everything under the sun and everything is down to thyroid. I have Hashis. I have tried many med combos, everything fails on me. Recently

advice on my mam's test results please
My mother (67yrs old) has finally taken a private blood test, after countless dismissals from her doctor that her symptoms are due to 'just getting older' 🙄. She is not on any medication. She does take many vitamins, but I don't have a list. TSH 3.56 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2) 83.7% Free T4 (fT4) 14.41

Assistance with T3 source please
Hi would appreciate if anyone can assist with a reliable T3 source please. Ideally I am looking for tabs that I can split into small doses i.e. 5cmg as extra T3 to take (and titrate slowly upwards) alongside my morning dose of T4/T3. Posting this in line with the moderators rule of this forum below
