Fighting for corrections is so hard.
I am coming up on the one year of my wife's passing. On this day last year, she was sitting in her hospital bed eating frozen fruit. She was at 99% Sat with 1l of O2, and the plan was to turn it off in the morning. LFT's bang on Normal. Indirect Billi is still high, direct normal. Albumin low Plat low

Dr Shandeep Momi
I have moved from overseas where I was taking T3/T4 combo. I need to find a new doctor ASAP as I haven't had levels checked for at least 18 months. Is Shandeep Momi good? I need full thyroid testing as well as extensive bloodwork Thanks

Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

Still on 50mcgs Levo and symptoms returning…
Morning everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but I’m still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning. My GP refuses to increase because my last blood test done in January showed my FT4 at 19.4 and he said he doesn’t want it to get any higher than that

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

new to group
I developed strange heavy lower leg sensation in 10/23; always been very healthy active 54 year old female. This issue coincided with a lower back flare up after playing pickle ball. MRI revealed a small disc bulge at L4-5 but no one was sure if these symptoms were related. I also got brain MRI

Medication and dosing
I take my 75mcg of levothyroxine at bedtime and T3 2.5 mcg at midday and 2.5 at 4pm. So I know I miss my bedtime levothyroxine until after the test but when should I take my 4pm T3? Please and thank you. 🥰
