Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

NAC with ferritin deficiency or PA
Hi all. Just thought I’d pop in and ask my new friends if they know of any reason NAC shouldn’t be taken with iron tablets or B12, or whether NAC could actually have a negative effect on ferritin/B12 levels. Can’t find any info on this, so here I am 😊 I am awaiting latest blood results, so don’t

facial rash
hi there, I have just had a positive ana result and suspected lupus so I am being referred to a rheumatologist. I have a slight red rash on both cheeks but nothing on my nose. Can a lupus facial rash be just mildly on both cheeks and not on your nose? thanks in advance for any replies? Pinkyerin

Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Are there any other liothyronine capsule brands
Hi,Can anyone help please. The ICB in their wisdom have decided that I can no longer have my liothyronine tablets but I must change to capsules to save money. I had a bad reaction to Roma brand capsules last year when they changed my tablets to capsules and have it written on my prescription no Roma

I doubt they’ll smile on my taking ERFA but I’ve no intention of going back to Levo only as it worked less and less for me over the years. I’ve wondered if I have a T4 to T3 conversion issue and have found a blue horizon

Recently diagnosed, WBC numbers stable but RBC/HGB trending down
Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed this October. My current WBC is around 15,000. I am Del 13q and mutated, so good markers. My 3 month blood draw actually showed a slight decrease in WBC, however for the third draw in a row my RBC and HGB have gone down. HGB is low end of normal and RBC is slightly

Help with trying to close the gap between FT4/3
I’ve been tweaking Metavive dose and type (bovine and porcine) to try to raise FT4. It’s now at 40% and I’m happy with that because it’s risen from 12% but my FT3 is now 100%, which I don’t want - although I don’t feel over medicated at the moment Test was done as per protocol and I’d been on this

Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of

Following on from my post on 26/02/24, my symptoms got worse (increased number of anxiety attacks and unable to cope with pain in head/neck and upper back) and the GP didn't have any ideas, so I saw a thyroid specialist recommended by thyroid UK in April. The doctor had my blood tests done and these
