Drs appt today
I saw my primary Dr today. She says she thinks that 50 mcg of Levo is all I need but added 5 mcg Cytomel. I explained my continued symptoms and she said definitely no more Levo. She will order labs and I go back in 2 months. I asked about ferritin but not sure what she is ordering. She sends the lab

Overmedicated on Levothyroxine
I've been overmedicated from 50mg to 75 for 5 months and started having hyper symptoms. Has anyone gone through this? I have felt sick, anxiety and heart palpitations for two months. Dr just took me off meds last week. Feel a bit better but worried I caused long term damage. I'm scared.

Can I justify Armour?
Without the GP's knowledge (and after advise on here) I came off Armour for a month in order to falsify my results so that the GP would stop getting so upset about my suppressed TSH in the hope that he would continue to treat me with a combination of T4 and Armour which I've been on for 20 years.

Blood Test Results
Hello, I would be grateful for some advice regarding these results. The background is that my Levothyroxine dose was reduced from 100mcg to 75 in early February 2024, due to a TSH only test which was below range. By late March I could barely function so I had a private test prior to the GP's TSH test

T3 Dose
I've just received my T3 prescription and nervous to start after reading through posts on side effects! I'm on 125mg levo, no thyroid for 13 years and poor converter. My endo put me on 10mg twice a day, but having received good advice on here, I understand that I need to start on a much lower dose. My

Levothyroxine - saint or devil?
Help please. I had thyroiditis some years ago (lost 2 dress sizes - great) but then went hypo. I was first prescribed levothyroxine 75mcg, later increased to 100mcg. However, since starting the meds, I became heat intolerant, gained far too much weight and am always exhausted (not menopausal - went

Can I take my Levo &T3 at night with Progesterone?
Hi All, I’ve just had my HRT prescription changed - more estrogen and separate progesterone pills to be taken at night (have been on combined patch for 3yrs). I feel much better when I take Levo at night - do we know if progesterone interferes with Levo? Gynaecologist recommended progesterone at night

25mcg Levo and feel worse
I recently posted about being put on Levothyroxine by my GP who referred me to Endocrinologist (still waiting for an appointment). GP put me on 25mcg on a trial basis because NHS test don't show issues with thyroid. My first week on Levo, I felt an improvement in fatigue. I could sing again too!

reducing T3 and increasing T4 as advised
I posted by bloods a while back and was advised to reduce my T3slightly and increase my T4 slightly. I dot like having to cut my T3 into quaters. Can I take 50mcg one day and 37.5 the next day. I am taking 75mcg levo one day and 100 the next so could take the higher dose of t4 on the day I have less
