Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

Starting T3 Side Effects
Hi All,After a lot of trying other things (diet, supplements...) I was finally prescribed Liothyronine by a private GP with the backing of Endocrinology. My new 5mcg pills arrived today, and the plan is I take 5mcg 3 times a day, total of 15mcg which is a small dose. I'm currently on 125 Levo with low

Heart palpitations with levothyroxine
Hi, I have had annunderacrive thyroid for 13 years now. The past 3 years I've really struggled with heart palpitations (all heart checks done and no condition found) I've now come to realise it coincides with taking my thyroxine tablets, because I stopped fully dor 8 weeks and the heart palpitations

Thyroid help!
Alright it’s been a while since I posted. I had my baby in July last year and since I’ve not been taking care of myself and forgetting my levothyroxine most mornings after sleepless nights. About 8 weeks ago I switched taking my Levo in the morning to the evening as I had more time while baby was asleep

"TSH of 5.21 does not warrant levo increase"
Just that. According to my GPs I am perfectly fine and my TSH is only barely out of range and doesn't need my medication to be increased 🤔 what even is the point of their stupid range if they're not even going to pay attention to it? Luckily I have a letter from the Endo stating they want my TSH below

Tirosint - any experience
Hi I’m on holiday in Greece. I usually buy my levothyroxine (hate being reliant on brand lottery with NHS prescription). I usually get Unipharma. The Greek pharmacist suggested Tirosint as it contains no additives but it’s 8 rather than 2 euros for a months supply. Has anybody used it and if so does

thyroxine dosage
Can anyone tell me if 12 and a half of levo could be enough. If I try to go higher I seem to be worse. Have struggles for many years trying to increase dose. Am no better on NDT or T3 only.

My first results after beginning 5mcg T3. Is my FT4 & FT3 too high now?
Hello again, please could I ask for your thoughts on my new blood test (Blue Horizon Thyroid Bronze). 6 weeks ago I started taking 5mcg T3 once a day (via Roseway Labs) alongside my usual 75mcg Levothyroxine as my FT3 was on the low side. (I’m 67, only been hypothyroid for 18 months) Blood was

Any one having issues with the above? I was with lloyds which has now been taken over by the above, after nearly 4 weeks I still haven’t received my prescription. Several emails have now been exchanged, today’s email just says the only thing they can get is Teva. Want to guess the one thing I can’t take

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening
