hello all. I am 39 year old mother to 3 children. I have found this group after looking for somewhere to purchase NDT, after having read the stop this thyroid madness book. i had a routine blood test back in july, due to complaints of fatigue/weight not budging and cold toes and hands. To my disbelief

Insomnia - Could nightime liothyronine exacerbate it?
Hi, I've just read: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/148510755/liothyronine-brands-and-insomnia. As ever the answer seems to be "it depends"! Some better on or off lio, some better at bedtime or on waking, etc. My sleep pattern is (roughly) one half-decent sleep followed by an utterly awful

latest DEXA scan
Just had my 7 year anniversary of my PMR diagnosis. The last couple years have gone well with a couple minor flares but I've been at 1 mg and in a holding pattern for a few months until seen by Rheumy #5 in another week, another one I've never talked to before. I did have a DEXA scan in the first

b12 symptoms
Hi, Need advice on what else I should have included in my blood test. Haematologist is already going to test active B12, MMA and homocysteine after stopping B12 injections for 4 months to try to get to the bottom of why I’m having symptoms. History of Hashimotos 2019, vitamin d 2020 plus co factors

Thoughts!
So I have been looking into lots of way to healing the thyroid and coming off the thyroxine. Has anyone ever successfully managed to do this. I have been following and reading a lot of information from Gary Brecka who is a biologist and does a lot of work on thyroid function. I have started supplements

I need help. I recently lost my NP that monitored and subscribed my thyroid medication. I don’t have a thyroid. I had it removed in 2002 due to a thyroid nodules that were cancerous. I have taken 120 mg of Armour thyroid for years and a small dose of t3 12mcg. The new prescriber I just saw wants

subclinical - do I need levo?
I have been borderline Subclinical hypothyroidism for around 10 years. The GP put me on levothyroxine 2013, I took a low dose for a month or two but couldn’t tolerate it (palpitations), so I stopped. I was referred to Endo who did a check on my antibodies - was clear. Every year, my tsh was either just

Low T3
Hi, I have been hypothyroid for many years now, but I am really struggling with brain fog and fatigue. I am currently taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily, but my doctor says I am overmedicated and wants to drop the dose to 50mcg . I have resisted this so far. She refuses to test T3 as she says if

Thyroid Test results
We'd be really grateful for any feedback on my husband's thyroid test results taken at 8.45am before breakfast. (Blue Horizon Gold). He has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome for 10 plus years and there is a history in his family of thyroid problems. We are trying to get a clearer picture
