How to choose doctor
Hi. I’m thinking of going private to get treated for Hashimoto’s but I’m not sure whether to and if so who to go to. I was self medicating with T3 but was told that my heart attack in January was down to taking too much. I’ve since come off it and feel awful. I don’t know whether to go back to

advice please- protein shakes
I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes

When to take iron with T3 multi-dosing.
I'm writing this post again as I didn't get many replies and my private Dr hasn't replied. I'm trying to work out when to fit in taking iron (Three arrows) with my T3 doses. I am taking T3 as per my private Dr's schedule which is 3 times per day and 6-7 hours apart. I'm wondering whether to switch to

slow release liothyronine
Like many people on here I miss the wise opinion and knowledge of Diogenes enormously. I know he was working on the formulation of a slow release liothyronine which was in clinical trial. Does anyone have an update on this? is it any closer? In the meantime I am tempted to try sustained release compounded

time to try T3
Hypothyroid - 20 years always on T4 but same brand Mercury Pharma, currently taking 150mcg. Like everyone I private test to get T3 T4 have paid in the past to see private endocrinologists and am reasonably well informed (mainly through this forum). I don’t suffer as badly as many people do but maybe

T3 Trial continued
Medichecks 20 March 2024 History:
Hypothyroid (after RAI in c2004)
Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten

Is an Alkaline Phosphate level of 71 (UK) good?
Is an Alkaline Phosphate level of 71 (UK) good? Was put on steroids to deal with newly diagnosed PMR and they fell by 20 units in 2 weeks!

advice on synacthen test
for anyone who has been following my story they will know I’ve been having medication issues and I am now taking T3 only. Still having issues with weight gain. Spoke to my endocrinologist last week and she has agreed the increase to 40mcg. This was after she had suggested trying a small dose of levothyroxine

Taking Biotin
Hello, As part of my daily suppliment intake I take the full range of B vitamins (B1-12), which includes 50mcg biotin. As I understand it, this is less than the 20mg which would affect my T4 levels, is that right? And at this dosage do I still need to stop taking this particular suppliment 2 days

Opinions Please
Hi I have just had my results from Medicheck. I followed all the recommendations, 9am test, no Levothyroxin for 24 hours, no Biotin for a week. I am currently taking 75 mg Levothyroxin, Vitamin D3, Methyl Folate & Thorne Basic B Complex. I am considering adding 25 mg Levothyroxin 3 times a week

Struggling, should I try increase now?
Good morning, Following my post last week, I am now really struggling with hypo symptoms which I think is more to do with reduction of the levo than addition of T3. I didn’t want to rush adding extra T3, have now been on 2.5 T3 for 8 days with levo (87.5x3 & 100x4 days) as I react so badly to changes

Headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy
Hi, does anyone else get headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy? I have read the side effects leaflet and it states that 'headache' and 'insomnia' are two of the side effects; since I have been on T3 only I often wake up in the night and have a very light sleep compared to what I am used to, then
