Should I reduce dose slightly? T3/T4 combination therapy
Hello lovely people. I recently had my bloods done and met with my endocrinologist, and wanted to ask your thoughts. I am currently on 87.5mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I feel better than I have in a long time, though possibly slightly anxious (difficult to tell though as I am prone to anxiety

Some advice before a battle with GP!
Hi all, hoping someone on here can advise me on the best approach to take to get my GP to take action! Every blood test bar two that I have had over the last 5 years has shown high TSH, generally between 6 and 10, and always over the high reference range. However, despite several GP visits they refuse

question about vitamin levels
I’m Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering When our vitamin levels are at a good level , does that in turn make our thyroid levels mainly our TSH T3 T4 levels to rise when TSH is under range. It just got me thinking as I’m been prescribed folate for 3 months by the doctors & will

Possible over treatment with Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I’m new to the site. It was suggested that I make a post following a comment I made replying to another post as I may benefit from some guidance on my current treatment. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 9 years ago. I have been treated with Levothyroxine throughout. Since 2020

Thyroid meds with calcium?

When to take my T3
Is it ok to take T3 first thing in the morning at the same time as other meds. I take statins and BP meds in the morning and my Levo at night. Or should I just take it at night with my Levo.

TSAT low, ferretin high
Dear fellow sufferers in RLS hell. My sleep medicine doctor suggested an iron infusion because my TSAT is 28,87% while my ferretin is 145,40ng/ml. I was taking iron supplement for 6 months before the test. I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between TSAT and ferritin. How high are

FT3 results following introducing T3
Following on from a couple of people's suggestions from a previous post I have tested my thyroid hormone levels sooner than planned as I did a fast T3 protocol. I am on 50 mcg of T4 and 31.25 mcg of T3. I have been on 31.25 mcg for 3 weeks. I take T3 x3 per day (12.5mcg, 12.5mcg, 6.25mcg). Here are

Questions about TSH and advice on results over the past year much appreciated
Hi everybody, I've posted several times lately and I just wanted to ask for advice on thyroid related issues. I had COVID 3 times from June 22 - Jan 23 and was symptomatic each time. I did have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 2018 but had been feeling a lot better in 2020 until I got COVID. Above

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

How much reduction in dose to lower TSH to please the specialist???
In July I saw an endocrinologist who found my TSH of 0.025 alarming. He wanted to lower the dose because "Low TSH can cause heart complications." (Eye roll) As many of you pointed out, it's not the TSH that's the problem. Is there sufficient, but not excessive, thyroid hormone to support cellular energy

I have had a horrendous few weeks health wise. This is due to fibroids, however what it has distracted me from is the fact my thyroid consultant had doubled my thyroid meds which amongst everything else I just went with. I have been so low in mood, tearful every single day, exhausted, drained and feeling
