Adrenal support - early days of T3
Hi I have recently started on Liothyronine - followed advice to start slowly and all seems to be going well. I am also on very regular B12 injections. I have a question about supporting adrenal glands. I had (may still have…) low morning cortisol, was given a Short Synacthen test which I passed but

My path to combination therapy
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 25 years ago, in my mid-thirties. For almost 20 years, I took only Levothyroxine. I realise now that I was probably depressed for the whole period. Back in 2016, I decided to quit drinking alcohol. I wasn't an alcoholic, but I was drinking every day, and sometimes

I feel I am hypothyroid on my current amount of Levo/T3
I have no thyroid . I am a female and have in the past been a steady weight of 9 stone 8 pounds . I am being treated by an Endo who mainly treats Diabetics. He has now reduced my levo to 75 mcg and my Liothyronine to 75 mcg per day. I have been steadily putting on weight over the last 6 weeks and

I’m current taking 75 mcg
Levothyroxine
and
Liothyronine
at 10 mcg morning, 5mcg evening. TSH is very low - which I was expecting. Endo was very reluctant to increase Levo from 50 mcg to 75 mcg.

Feeling anxious on T3
I have switched from 75mcg Levo plus 1 grain of Armour a day to approx 112mcg of Levo plus 20 mcg of Liothyronine a day and am feeling very anxious. Is this a normal symptom when adding in more T3?

Private Blood Test Results
In January 24, I was finally ground down and in a vain attempt to keep hold of T3, I agreed to reduce levothyroxine by 25mcg per day leaving 75 mcg of
levothyroxine
and 20 mcg of
liothyronine
(split into two doses).

Iron and t4/t3 update
Thanks for everyone here for educating me, I have managed to get my iron levels to a higher levels they may have ever been! I'm so pleased and hopefully they'll continue going up. I have used the Heme iron recommended by many here. It's been one year since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm

Endo appointment and low TSH
Hi all, Please see my results below. My GP is making noise about my suppressed TSH but she's leaving it to my endo, who I have an appointment with on 18th June. They don't know that I take liothyronine as well as levo. I'm not sure whether to fess up or not just as a way to explain the suppressed TSH

Generic Tirosint - Levothyroxine Sodium capsules USP made by Lannett - has anyone in the UK managed to obtain this medicine?
I would like to try Tirosint - to combine it with a trial of Liothyronine - I believe Tirosint is available from Roseway Labs on private prescription. But it's very expensive. I had heard that there was a generic version made in the US by Lannett Company Inc. Does anyone have any information about

Thyroid - related test results
Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence

I have had my Liothyronine changed from 10mcg daily to having to take 10mcg one day, then 5mcg the next day .
I have no thyroid .I presently take 75 mcg Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine and have felt well on that dose (I have no symptoms that suggest I am over medicated) But my FT3 was 8.5 - because there was only about an hour between me taking my Thyroid medications and the clinic taking bloods for a Thyroid

When to take Lio before blood test?
Hiya, sorry I have not posted for a while. It is a familiar story alas: hypo symptoms on Levo alone became very bad, eventually got referral to endo, started Liothyronine (T3) trial in Oct 2021, worked great, hypo symptoms improved rapidly. But now TSH is below range and my endo wants to reduce Lio

Suppressed tsh 0.03 on Liothyronine, is this as much of a worry as consultant says please?
Bit of a long story sorry but I just need a moan with others who undestand. I restarted Liothyronine Jan 23 on nhs but my consultant will not endorse any increase whatsoever. I am just so tired most days it hurts, can't shift my weight unless I starve and unfortunately I don't sleep well so that doesn't
