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

Weight Loss Advice
I know this is a topic that drives us all mad lol but any advice is welcome.I was a long distance runner before I had my 5th child and then 11 months later diagnosed with Hasimotos. I gained 3 stone after the pregnancy before diagnosis. I have lost 2 stone but this last stone does not shift no matter

would I be able to stop Levo again with no ill effects?
hi all, I have just started 75mcg of Levo. I have gained weight since having half my thyroid removed, and have developed reactive hypoglycaemia and I suffer from recurrent sports injuries which don’t heal quickly, but don’t have other hypothyroid symptoms, in spite of having Hashimotos. if Levo

medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3

Belated COVID
Three years free but got unlucky last month with horrible covid. Husband also. I hadn’t had latest booster, he did. Same outcome. I’m feeling back to square one (almost). Any hints about picking up post virus please? Im supplementing igennus B and 3,000 D plus K2 spray. Is it worth testing in a few

When to take Levothyroxine prior to bloods?
morning all - I’d really appreciate some advice please. My blood tests are at 2.40pm one day next week and I usually take my tablets about 3-4am. (2.40pm was Earliest appointment I could get). When would it be best to take it prior to testing? It seems maybe too long to miss it until after the bloods

Is anyone on here taking Thybon?
Yesterday I received my first pack of Thybon, so I started this morning with 5mcg taken with my Levo and I am to take the next dose mid afternoon, as instructed by the endocrinologist. If anyone is already taking it, my question is, even though he stated mid afternoon, how many hours between doses do

Hair loss - Levothyroxine!!
Hi All, Thanks in advance for any reassurance, but since starting on Levothyroxine I’m really noticing that my hair is falling out much more than usual. Whilst I appreciate this can be a side effect it’s quite unsettling…. I was put on a starting dose of Levothyroxine at 50cmg with a TSH level of 48

Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, Could anyone direct me to a reputable source to purchase Levothyroxine please. I’m fed up with the battle of trying to gain an increase from my GP to find out if this will help with my symptoms. TIA.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?
