optimal ranges
I’m using the Thyroid calculator I saw posted somewhere on here and I’m just wondering if there is an ‘optimal % range’ not the drs ranges, that I can compare mine to, also is there an ‘optimal’ T4:T3 ratio. I appreciate its very individual but just looking for a guide.

Low T3 and diabetes risk
I have just read this in depth article on the diabetes U.K. website which clearly states that Low thyroid function is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and pre diabetes. Low T3 increases the risk. The risk is increased even if T3 is low in range. Insulin secretion requires good levels

Hi Everyone I’ve been plagued by RLS for just on 30 Years now. 15 years untreated ( what hell that was), and the last 15 years on Pramipexole. This worked pretty well for me, although I’ve had to steadily increase the dose, and therefore the side effects. My GP is happy for me to reduce the Pramipexole

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I'm waiting for and Ultrasound scan for goitre. I had to push for T3/T4 blood test after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high cholesterol levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

Premature cardiac risk
“20” percent of humans have elevated lipoprotein (a), putting them at risk for heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, only 3/10 of a percent (.3 percent ) of U.S. primary care physicians ever test their patients, unlike physicians in the EU and Canada. The link below will offer more

Sources of T3/NDT
Hi everyone, Following my recent test results in which my T3 levels had dropped (with no change of dose) and meeting with an endocrinologist who insisted everything was 'optimal' (although only just within range) I would like to explore either adding T3 or switching to NDT. I would like to know of

T3 medication
I’m taking T3 medication and want to know if anyone who is also taking T3 has daily headaches. I suspect that the headaches may be a side effect of t3 medication.
