TSH is 6.6, but T4 is 21 ...
Hello All, Please can you help me make sense of this ... My last thyroid test results are: TSH 6.6 T3 4.3 (3.1-6.8) But T4 is ... 21! (12-22) and 6 weeks ago it was 14 (Don't take levo meds for 24 hours, tested at 8.45am) I made a number of posts here about my struggles with increasing levo, currently

How do I start combining T3 with levothyroxine?
If anyone is able to give me any advice about this, I would be very grateful. I currently take 200 mcg levothyroxine, 100 in the morning and 100 before bed. I believe I have unresolved symptoms on T4 only and I know that I have the DIO2 gene polymorphism so I believe that I have conversion problems

Thyroid results - advised to get bone scan
Hi everyone Please can I ask about my recent Medichecks results. The results below are similar to my usual results over recent years. The medichecks doctor suggested I get a bone density scan to monitor for development of osteoporosis, due to my long history of low TSH (0.01 to 0.001). They advise

NDT needed, contacts please
Hi everyoneI posted recently about sourcing some more NDT as my Thai NDT is close to running out, and what I am using is now out of date, but still working well. (I'll update my profile shortly with latest Medichecks results). A couple of members kindly replied to my last message. One avenue I'm pursuing

Suggested Thyroid Hormone Test Timing Protocols
These suggestions are gleaned from years of members experience to best achieve an average reading of thyroid hormone levels with highest TSH. They are calculated considering assimilation and half life's. TSH and thyroid hormones have an inverse correlation but signalling commonly becomes skewed meaning

Test results
I’d be very grateful if someone could have a look at my results and give their thoughts please? The doctor at the testing lab is concerned about the high T3 ( I’m on 3.5 grains of Armour) and also not happy about my B12 being towards the lower end of the range- he’s citing warnings of pernicious anaemia

Do I need to fast for Thyroid blood test?
Hi - I need to take my thyroid test in a couple of weeks. Do I need to fast before taking the test? I take NDT (2.5 grains divided as 1.5 in morning and 1.0 in the early afternoon). I read that I should take the test 8-12 hours after taking my dose so I was planning to switch to taking all 2.5 grains

Symptoms with normal blood tests?
In an attempt to find out what was causing my health abnormalities, I had my thyroid checked quite some time ago. And everything looked okay to be honest. I do not have the results at present, however, the TSH was 3.3 and the T4 was at the very top of the range. I had this tested a couple of times and

success with Threearrows - for anyone struggling with LOW IRON/FERRITIN
After 6 months I am finally seeing some progress with my iron panel! I spent 3 months on 4 ferrous gluconate tablets a day and my ferritin, saturation and iron barely budged. In fact, my serum iron actually decreased. I felt completely miserable with the prospect that I wouldn’t be able to optimise

Private GP recommendation
Looking to try NDT (currently metavive) and have found a private GP from the thyroid UK list who is near to where I live. He is Dr David Eccleston, Sutton Coldfield West mids. I hope this is ok to name him? If anyone has experience of this GP could you PM please? Thanks all

Positive experience with Private GP
Hi all - for the benefit of anyone else dithering over trying a private GP... I've just had a really positive experience. She confirmed I have Hashi's (which has got a little worse/more antibodies since my previous bloods 6 months ago), we discussed treatments and she is prescribing a trial of NDT.

Increasing NDT dose
I’m in deed of advice once more. I was advised by Endo to increase my dose of NDT from 75 mg Efra but after several attempts, I failed. I was taking 75 mg + 25 mcg Synthroid every morning. Not feelingg100% but functioning. He suggested I take 60 mg +25 mcg Synthroid in the morning and another 30 mg

Going round in circles - Your input please
Hi - to cut a long story short. Do you think I need NDT? Am really keen to try the natural option as my T3 seems borderline but Naturopath didn't think it was necessary? I haven't felt 100% - am currently on 100mcg/daily Levo. Blood test - 17.02.23 T4 7.0 ug/dL (5.5-11) FT4 1.10

Please help with reading blood test results
I really don't know where to start with all this as it is a bit confusing and complex. 20 years ago i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and i was prescribed Levothyroxine and my health rapidly declined.

Stopping medication
Hi everyone, I am really desperate with what to do next as nothing works for me. I was finally getting NDT and had so much expectation from it. I was fine for few days and then my stomach started to hurt that bad that I couldn't bed down. I email my specialist and ask what to do . He said to stop and

NDT blood test timing
Good morning all My understanding is when on NDT you should test 12 hours after your dose. Is that correct? If so at that point is the blood test more realistic as an indication of how well you are doing? I ask this because at my last one I was only a third way through the range of T3.
