T3 much better but feeling worse again!
I'm on a high dose of levo, 200mcg per day (I weigh 80kg right now), and just got test results back that show my T3 levels are much improved. However, of course, my TSH is now below range and my T4 way over. My ferritin, etc, is as bad as it's ever been, despite taking 210mg of ferrous fumarate each

Iron deficiency & picky eating
Hello! My daughter is 4.5 years old and is very iron deficient. We found out she is anemic about 2 years ago. I used to be able to give her iron drops in her sippy cup when she was smaller, but as she has gotten older it has been extremely difficult to get her to eat any iron enriched foods (sensory

Just got updated thyroid hormone results — see why I'm tired.
Well, I can see why I am so tired. The iron panel is certainly much better, but not as high as I think it should be, but since this is my field, I will keep working on it. Serum zinc will take about a week to get back. B12 and vitamin D are very good / optimal for hypothyroid, so it's not low nutrients

need some words of encouragement please
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I last made a post. I started armour last September after being on a high dose of thyrogold for years and I’m still trying to find my dose on armour. I have gradually worked up to 3 grains which has been a rocky and rather arduous task (low iron and low cortisol

It has been my longest and toughest journey of my life.
My fibromyalgia started in a writer way. In 2019, I became very ill with several bloody UTIS, which then affected my skin, my body was producing what was similar to small fish scales, they would ping out of my skin all over my body. Come out my tear ducks. When I was on the loo I could hear them hitting

HELP PLEASE
I am writing this in the middle of the night because I can’t lie still. You can imagine how desperate I am to take a Pramipexole tablet. The good news is I have just done 10 days without any Pramipexole. Stupidly, I haven’t planned my next move. I spoke to a doctor yesterday (I’m in the UK) and he

Yawning so much! 🥱
Hello all, Quick question for you to help with if possible. Why, oh why do I yawn 🥱 upon doing any exercise? My Wk 1 R2 run was interspersed with so many yawns! But then I remembered I yawn if I ever go for a walk with steep inclines and yawn when I climb the hospital stairs at work. I do

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

What do these lab results suggest to you please
Later today husband will be speaking to GP regarding latest TFTs which have been erratic this past 3 years. He’s not taking any thyroid replacement yet but I’m expecting - or should I say hoping - GP is going to prescribe something based on over range TSH, although I know they often wait for it to climb

Cerelle for Adenomyesis?
Hi, I’ve recently been diagnosed with adenomyeosis, I was misdiagnosed with a fibroid but they’re pretty sure it’s adenomyeosis now. My main symptom is unmanageable periods getting worse and worse, they are so heavy that I tend not to leave the house during this time but of course some days I have to

Sobriety and preparing withdrawal from Pramipexole
Hi RLSers, I have been struggling with RLS, first when I was around twenty years old and now as I am well into my middle age. I have been sober for 23 years, but a few years back I started taking Pramipexole. This drug has created more problems for me than it has solved. At the beginning it works

T3 or Hydrocortisone
I’ve historically had problems raising my levo dose, as soon as I get to 50, I start to feel dreadful. I’ve been experimenting with hydrocortisone at 2.5 and 5mg doses alongside the levo. I stopped the HC for a week to see if it made a difference and re-started again yesterday at 5mg. OH BOY! There’s
