Help Please!
Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link

Why does Paul Robinson insist there’s no such thing as adrenal fatigue and T3 will fix low cortisol. It certainly hasn’t in my case .
I’m currently using armour thyroid at 2 grains and feel bloody awful. Same old same old symptoms I get when I try to increase Levo or Levo/t3. My adrenals suffer. I know it’s adrenals because I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years now. Really surprised with his info/advice which makes me doubt everything

Hyperthyroidism blood results.
Morning all, I posted here several weeks ago as I had been taken off Levothyroxine after high t4 results. I have half a thyroid as had a benign growth. I paid for a blood test and after a couple of issues with the finger prick tests, I got a nurse friend to take my bloods. I got the results this morning

Can I order 2 months worth of Levothyroxine?
Good evening, I order my meds monthly- does anyone know if we can order 2- 3 months worth at a time or does it have to be monthly. Just trying to plan a trip abroad and don’t want to run out of meds. Many thanks in advance Moira

Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]

Why does the British Thyroid Foundation not recommend T3 for Hypothyroidism?
I was gathering information about T4, T3 and thyroid in general, when I came across a page on the BTF site that says treating hypothyroidism with T3 is NOT recommended and that treating it with T4 alone has better results. I was a little bit surprised by this statement and wondered what their thinking
