Problem absorbing T4/T3
Just wondering if anyone knows how you can tell if you are not absorbing thyroxine and liothyronine due to gut/stomach problems. Will your TSH and T4/T3 blood levels show you have enough hormone - i.e. will it still get into your blood but not other parts of your system. I currently have a diverticulosis

Naltrexone
I am on thyroxine and T3 medication for under active thyroid. A friend was recently prescribed low dose naltrexone to help with inflammation in the body as well as being on thyroid medication. Does anyone know if naltrexone is available to purchase without prescription in the UK as I would like to trial

latest blood results…grateful for any thoughts/advice
**** I have posted screen-shots of recent results from Aug 2024 in the comments. Bit of a cock-up with timings - so it was a non-fasting, blood test taken about 7 hours after I’d had my levo (87.5mcg, been on that dose since April 2024. I’m also on HRT Evorel Sequi patches 50) - doesn’t seem to have

Hashimotos & FT3. Advice needed - Rock bottom - About to try Thybon (poor FT4- FT3 conversion).

Advice for blood test results

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s back in 2013, but my TPO has been within

Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
In a recent pathology test, my gastroenterologist was concerned with my low haemoglobin count and a high reticulocyte count. She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an iron infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get

Thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism and kidney function
Hello, I’m usually on the pernicious anaemia forum but I’ve been recovering from a diagnostic hemithyroidectomy confirming thyroid cancer. I think I am beginning to enter hypothyroidism in a big way and am waiting for my NHS TSH test results. I know that private free t3/t4 etc. testing is better but

Constantly overheated
I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 10 years and first few years struggled to get my meds correct in terms of ‘ how I feel’ (unbelievably sluggish and tired) which has meant fighting my Gp to allow TSH to be on low side (0.03). As I’m in UK they won’t test T3 levels only TSH and sometimes T4 (which last

GP won't raise my Levothyroxine

First bloods after starting levothyroxine only TSH tested?
Good morning, I asked for both T4 & T3 to be tested? The nurse explained that "it's only done at the lab if needed" so how's that going to work? How will the GP know if I need an increase etc.....no answer? What are we dealing with here? Has it always been this way or is it because the NHS is basically
