NDT as arrived š
I've read the leaflet accompany the medication but as always I'm slightly lost as to the ratio It says...[ T3
liothyronine
is approximately four times as potent as[ T4]
levothyroxine
on a micro gram to micro gram basis) they provide 38mcg
levothyroxine
and 9mcg
liothyronine
per grain of thyroid.

Frustrated - Levothyroxine/Liothyronine
Well, just had my bloods taken this morning, so we will see what the test reveals. My endocrinologist wants me to decrease my liothyronine from 20cg to 5!? On my last results she said it showed I had no thyroid in my system so she increased my levothyroxine to .112mg. Iāve been on it for about 4 or so

Levo/lio?
Question: If you decrease your dose of
liothyronine
and increase
levothyroxine
will you have hypo symptoms while you wait for Levo to kick in? Such as fluid retention and brain fog.

Strange Result
I recently did my thyroid tests.2.1.24 Monitor My Health taking 87.5 mcg
levothyroxine
, 12.5 mcg
liothyronine
for the last 8 weeks. TSH 0.02 mu/L FT3 4.3 pmol/L 32.43% FT4 18.7 pmol/L 67% Based on these results, I decided that I should be able to make a bigger step in my liothyronine to 25 mcg.

Blood test protocol for T4 and T3 - help needed please
I take
levothyroxine
(from GP) and
liothyronine
(privately sourced). After my trial of lio Iāve reduced my levo dose and itās time to do blood test. I take the medications together and through the night, usually between 1 - 4 am. Should I miss one night and do the bloods next morning?

Increase needed but do I increase T4 or T3?
I have added
liothyronine
to my
levothyroxine
. My latest results indicate that an increase in one or the other is needed.

Add a bit of liothyronine or just increase levothyroxine?
My results on only 100 levothyroxine is tsh 0.25(0.42-4.2) ft3 4.2 (3.6-6.5) ft4 16 (12-22) I have access to liothyronine so would be able to start low dose on that to add to my
levothyroxine
. Would you recommend starting
liothyronine
or just increasing
levothyroxine
?

question about my tsh, t3, t4 result
My doctor kept saying since my T3 and T4 are normal, I should keep my current medication of 88mcg
levothyroxine
t4 and 5mcg
liothyronine
T3. But I keep losing weight and have runny poop. Should I decrease my T4 to 75mcg?

Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with
liothyronine
and
levothyroxine
for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days.
