Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Lio/Levo testing protocol advice
On the advice of my (private) endo, I am currently trialling 15 mcg Lio (in 3 doses: 8 am, 1 pm and 6pm) and 75 mcg Levo 11.30 pm, and I need to re-test in a few weeks. I am wondering about the testing protocol, as if I test by 9 am, this dosing regime is the opposite of what’s usually recommended when

morningside
hi everyone, can anyone tell me if there is a shortage of Morningside Liothyronine 20mcg. My usual chemist is out of stock and doesn’t know when it will be back in and I just wondered whether it was just in the South of England. I have tried many chemists today who either don’t answer the phone or pick

Bruising
Sudden bruising on legs and arms. Blood test is ok but I still have this. It can be an effect of levothyroxine?

Latest Medicheck results
I would really welcome any advice and comments on my latest Medicheck results as I am continuing to experience fatigue on a daily basis and generally feeling poo. I followed the guidelines of when to take Levothyroxine but continued to take B12 as I feel too unwell without it. TIA.

Heart Rate Spikes
Not sure if this is thyroid related and will be speaking to the GP but wondered if anyone has found their heart rate randomly spiking while at rest? I have a Garmin watch and it has been alerting me to sudden HR spikes while at rest, for example >100bpm whilst sitting in a cafe having brunch post parkrun

How to Change to NDT
Any advice as to the best way to transition from 119 mcg Levo to NDT, in a gentle way. I have no thyroid. For example do I stop the Levo one day and start NDT the next, and if so what dose, or do a reduced dose of both for a few days/weeks until acclimatised? How much NDT should I take, both at the

Feeling like something stuck in my throat on swallowing - any thoughts please
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing ? I guess it is down to some issue in my thyroid - but there are no visual lumps externally, just this weird sensation on swallowing. It started in March . Three weeks ago I have had annual bloods by GP and as my TSH is suppressed

I'm now considering trying NDT as a replacement. Please PM me with any recommendations of

Has anyone seen endocrinologist Dr Diana Clayton in Plymouth?
I have booked a private appointment with Diana in August to discuss poor conversion of levothyroxine and getting onto the right dose/medication. She was recommended by another member on this forum. Has anyone seen Diana and what was your experience like? I've asked her a number of questions but she won't
