Help Please!
Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link

Guess What!!!!!
The GP has reduced my T3 by 10mcg and replace with 25mcg T4 (levothyroxine) !!!!! (I'm stunned). As the majority on this forum are aware I've had no problems with T3 but I think this GP must believe that a combination of T4/T3 is superior.

should T3 make you feel worse?
good morning all, further to my post last week, I commenced T3 2.5. at the start of this week following 5 days reducing my levo from 100 to 87.5( as my T4 was at the very top of the range). I am taking the T3 together with my levo first thing in the morning. My question is how should I feel? I felt ok

Weight Loss Advice
I know this is a topic that drives us all mad lol but any advice is welcome.I was a long distance runner before I had my 5th child and then 11 months later diagnosed with Hasimotos. I gained 3 stone after the pregnancy before diagnosis. I have lost 2 stone but this last stone does not shift no matter

medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

Hashimotos & FT3. Advice needed - Rock bottom - About to try Thybon (poor FT4- FT3 conversion).
Hi Everyone, I have been supported a lot by this community already. Thank you. I am a 39 year old male, living in Ireland. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2019. I started Eltroxin at that time. I started on 25mg, and increased to 50mg at the start of 2023. I generally eat well, and exercise

Newly diagnosed
Hello, I would like some help as I am new to all of this and feeling a little overwhelmed. I am a 32 year old female (66kg) I have had high thyroid antibodies for years and had a baby 8 months ago which has tipped my body into being hypothyroid. So I assume I have hashimotos although this hasn’t been

Small thyroid gland question......
What does it mean if your Free Thyroxine is low (10.8 pmol/L - 12 - 22 R ) and your Thyroid is small ? My Dr is telling me he is unable to except my recent private blood tests which is annoying as I sent bloods of to MediChecks only this morning to check my Thyroid Antibodies which are normally

Body feels on edge
I can only describe this as an inner unease, it’s physical and it is accompanied by a hissing in my ear, sometimes this eases and I can feel my body is more at rest but it can rave up before a headache. I feel it is my body looking for something/lacking - could this be my low thyroid hormones/T3?

Results Advice Needed Please
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

NDT to T3 & T4 - brands, and how to transition?
I'm wondering how to make the transition from NDT to T3 & T4, specifically how slowly is it best to go and which brands of T3 & T4 are most widely accepted/least likely to cause reactions? I'm assuming I would translate my current dose of 1.75 grain NDT into the equivalent T3 & T4 and start on that?

Experience with Covid and hypo/hashis
Hi all, I’ve been quite stable for a number of years now. I was on NDT and doing ok but not perfect, adding a small amount of Levo to my NDT at the end of 2019 made me feel really well, pulling my FT4 up in the range a bit made a big difference. At the beginning of May this year I thought I caught

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

PSA rockets up to 344
Hello - I received quite shocking news during my visit to the Mayo Clinic last week. My PSA has jumped to 344 from a low of 3.6 last November, when I completed chemo with cabazitaxel. PSA did start to rise quite soon, into double digits, but this is by far my highest PSA ever. Dr. Kwon recommended
