Hello, My endo has told me this week to increase from 5mcg T3 to 7.5mcg and if that feels ok / no palpitations after a week to go up to 10mcg. I’m also on levo 150 and have been told to go up to 175 at weekends. I posted my recent blood results on Monday. All vits tested December and optimal. Iron

Hello I hope it is alright, I am asking this on behalf of my brother who along with me has Hashimoto’s. My brother says.: My Tsh is apparently unmeasurable as done by my consultant Endo (NHS) and has been so for some years. I take T4 150mg daily and T3 15mg daily, the later split into 3 equal

hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels.
