Hi, on recent bloods to check thyroid etc my t4 levels are Free Thyroxine (FT4) 12 - 22 pmol/L 17.9 I re-stated HRT 3 months ago 25mcg patch and my oestrogen levels are still pretty low I think. 17-Beta Oestradiol pmol/L <18.4 Male - Oestradiol (pmol/L) 41.4 - 159 Female - Oestradiol (pmol

Hi, I have been on T3 and T4 for a few years and have been doing ok. 18 months ago I moved to Devon and registered with a new GP. They changed my T3 tablets to Teva hard capsules as they are significantly cheaper. I have noticed very painful stiff legs which I get when I am under medicated AND I had

I'm Lizzie and I was diagnosed today at nearly 39 years of age. Endometriosis in my abdomen and ovary. My ferritin levels have been very low for two years and I have missed periods on and off the longest being for 5 months. Apparently, my ostrogen levels are normal/low so I really didn't think my diagnosis

Just started taking thyroxine (50) for 3 weeks. Legs and back are aching. Continues to be really tired. Advice please.

Delighted to say that the consultant endo agreed to a 6 month trial of T3. Even better can get it on the NHS where I am. 2 weeks in & I am starting to feel the benefit. I am taking 5mcg twice a day - when I get up & approximately 12 hours later (about 8.30pm). It doesn't seem to be affecting my sleep

I just had blood work after 2 infusions. My Ferritin went from 14 to 677. Is that too high?

I'm having trouble with my urology team that are doing my TRUS/Fusion biopsy next week. The doc is unwilling to send my sample out right away for Decipher. From what I understand, in my 'high risk' category, just based on MRI, genetic testing may be hugely helpful going forward. For the past week I've

can anyone help me please where to purchase t3

Hi I’m hypothyroid following Graves’ disease then radio iodine about 20 years ago. Was stable on 125 levo until I got Covid and have had long covid - debilitating fatigue - for a year now. I thought it was thyroid related. Following advice on this forum - thank you - I got blood tests and results

(I'm PV. Diagnosed 14+ years) Finally this week my consultant agrees to give me a course of iron. Does the following dose sound right/enough? 300mg ferrous gluconate once a day for a month. I'm on day 4 and don't feel any better at all. (Blood test 4 days ago: ferritin 6, Iron 3.8) Im considering

Hi, Is there a list or something of endocrinologists who prescribe T3? My T4 is really high and T3 is low and my hair is falling out like crazy. Obviously my GP only gives levothyroxine

found out I’m low in iron and I’ve got pernicious anemia. From my understanding having regular B12 injections has lowered my iron and ferritin. Should I put B12 on hold and increase my iron and ferritin? But when I don’t have regular B12 I feel the side effects. I’m taking heme iron once a day.

Hasanyone successfully weaned off T3? My new NHS UK endo wants me to do this as he’s worried excess T3 leads to osteoporosis so I’m wondering: a) has anyone successfully weaned off T3 and how was the journey and b) has anyone hear this about T3 and osteoporosis? Thanks!

Hi, I'm 58 and have autoimmune thyroiditis ( hashimotos)and am taking t4/t3 hormone combination. I have almost optimised my blood levels and feel the best I have been for a long time. My issue is my muscles feel very weak and have twinges in my fingers when writing and doing mild exercises . I used

Hi everyone! I am self medicating because I have problem with converting levothyroxine to T3 and my doctor won't admit it. I did so first with T3 for a few years during which I used many brands like Tiromel, Uni Pharma, Thybon H. I was much better for a while but noticed that lately I don't feel that

I am aware of the waiting 6-8 weeks after a dose change etc before testing levels. I was wondering if anyone knows of a graph or paper that discusses the expected hormone concentration level from expected synthetic FT4 decline versus the increased thyroid hormone production after a dose decrease?

My ferritin saturation has dropped since b12 injections! What do I do? I feel so ill! We now think the only reason I was low in b12 was a very very stressful year!

Hi I've filled in my bio now so hope that helps with my question.I've been slowly tapering since Jan from 2mg and I got to 0.5mg 4 weeks ago. If im honest, I've tried to ignore it, but, since 1mg but I've noticed the tell tale shoulder and upper arm pain etc. Whilst waiting for doc appointment, I put

hi , looking for some advice … I started bleeding around 10 days after transfer so my initial thought was that it didn’t work and I had started my period . Took pregnancy test 2 weeks after transfer date which was on that Saturday past which I was advised and it came back positive. When I phoned the

Has anyone benefitted from taking T3/T4? Thank you.
