Ferritin, B12 and folate results
Hi all I’d be grateful for any advice on the following results and details of the best supplements to take if you think I should boost them? The ferritin seems particularly low (even if it is technically in range). I eat red meat and leafy greens but struggle with things like liver so I guess I’d

Does Immunotherapy cause Vasculitis?
Hi, my Mum had vasculitis in 2013 following a bad infection, she continues to take 5mg prednisone to this day.Sadly she has been diagnosed with a stage 2 tumor of the cecum which because of her age and frailty at 81 years old is suggested to be inoperable. Genetic testing reveals its a type of cancer

teva update
I posted last week that pharmacy2 u had a problem delivering TEVA thyroxine and I got a prescription to take to a local chemist. I’ve phoned 15 and none have TEVA in stock. Does anyone know of another lactose free thyroxine I can ask for ?

Stages of disease

Recently I discovered that I also have antibodies and my thyroud ultrasound showed evidence of the disease. I wonder if anybody knows, if

Armour Thyroid for over 20 years
I have been taking Armour thyroid since 2000... Have had my current Dr for at least 20. When I had COVID last time (about 2 years ago .. very mild case) I noticed my TSH was up (over 3...very high for me and on Armour). I mentioned it to my Dr and she suggested waiting, it could be temporary. In the

Prolactin
Have shared the possibility of prolactin feeding advanced pc with mo/urologist . Dr's found the possibility of lowering prolactin interesting but have never heard of anyone using in their practice. If anyone can advise of a doctor using this in their protocol please reply so I can share with my doctors

Hypothyroid Labs In The Pits
Long story short. My 6th Endocrinologist retired over a year ago when my labs were good. I'm back to seeing my GP for the past year for Thyroid and now my labs are in the pits. Drugs used for past 6 months: 125mcg Synthroid and 1.5 mcgs Liothyronine. (I will admit that I was using Synthroid every other

Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

Visiting Turkey to Buy T3 (Tiromel)
Has anyone been anywhere in Turkey recently (or recently ish!) to buy T3 over the counter? Now that the Greece over the counter route appears to have stopped, I'm considering looking into Turkey. I would much rather buy in person than relying on something being legit when ordering online/buying through

To split or not to split?
I have decided to start self medicating again and used the company I first used to buy some thyroxine. They have changed brands and now only supply Eltroxin in 100 mcg tablets. Tbh I didn't even think about that so ordered some thinking I could just split them as I felt 50 was a better starting point

Headache solved?
As my symptoms started returning, I upped my levo every 3rd day from 50mcg to 75mcg. Headaches started and only went if I upped my T3 from 5mcg to 7.5 mcg (Levo 7am, T3 8am) I take 2 further 5mcg T3 in the day. I sometimes take my second T3 dose as a 7.5mcg dose if I'm really slowing down, grinding to

T3 side effects
hi, Please can I have some advice. I’ve been taking 10 mcg T3 for 7 months together with 75 mcg T4. I haven’t felt particularly any better on T3 except for an improvement in tiredness and mood. I’ve felt hyped up and breathless on exertion so I asked for an ECG. I’m 68 and they found that I have a

LIOTHYRONINE
I had been on Liothyronine for a couple of years and not noticed any difference to energy etc and my sleep was dreadful. Consultant halved my dose and when I complained at last appointment about severe pain in joints and I can hear the joints rubbing together he said I should have a bone density scan

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

Blood results help
Hi I have had blood test tsh is one (range 0.4 to 5) and T4 is 14 ( range is 9 to 19). Also had an ultrasound which showed altered echotexture but no enlargement of thyroid. Are these results OK? Have symptoms of underactive thyroid but results all in range. Thanks
