Synacthen Test
Hi, I received a letter from my Rheumatologist saying that my cortisol levels are normal following the Synacthen test 2 weeks ago. It says it is now safe to stop taking steroids. My question is, as i have been on steroids for over 5 years should i just stop or continue reducing. I am now taking 2.5mg

Help with dose and testing please
I’m arranging tests ahead of an endocrinology appointment but realise I’m not sure how to adjust / time my T3 dose ahead of this. I take my 40mcg T3 in a single dose at around 9:30-10pm. I’ve tried breaking the dose down but always feel slightly undermedicated. Seems for me at least the saturating

PSMA Analysis needed
I'm awaiting the visual images from my PSMA FDG scan. In the meantime, I've got a written report and I could do with your help. The backdrop is that I'm hoping to be considered eligible for PSMA therapy in Melbourne in May-Aug. At the heart of it lies a really simple question (and apologies for my naivety

T3 starting dose.
I appear to be a poor converter of t4 to t3. I had my first private endo appt today and have a private prescription for Liothyronine.T3. I have been given 3 months at 10mg daily. Is this a good starting dose. Just wondering whether to try 5mg daily first to see if it has the desired effect. Also going

What and Why? Change of Brand??
Hi All, I have just had my most recent bloods back and they are a little confusing if I am honest! I am taking 200mcg Levo and 25mcg Lio. I had to change brand in November and didn't feel any ill effects from the change over. Can a change in brand really cause that much of a hike? I have been

Heart Arrhythmia
Hello All. I've posted in the past and remember that some have said that I could increase my dose of T3 to perhaps alleviate the arrhythmia I have been experiencing for many years. I take 75 MCG LEVO (for 35+ years with varying dosages) and 5 MCG Lio each morning. Any comments at this time would be greatly

T3 in Pregnancy and breast feeding
I am trying to assist a friend late 30’s who is now about 17 weeks pregnant. She has been on a combination of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine for many years and has been well. Her drs have stopped the Liothyronine and upped her Levothyroxine, informing her Liothyronine is not licenced in pregnancy

Looking for a substitute for NP Thyroid/Armor Thyroid in Europe
Hello all, I am currently in Europe running out of options to refill my NP Thyroid medication. From what I have found online, Armor Thyroid is an equivalent, and after asking my US Doctor, he said it should be ok to take. I have tried via Roseway labs but, not being a UK citizen, the doctor isn't sure

Urine/Cortisol Tests
I have now had my appointment at the endocrine clinic. The doctor was not really interested in my symptoms as I have ‘bloods normal’. He did not look at the comprehensive Medichecks blood profile only those relating to thyroid although the ranges are all good across the tests. After insisting

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to
