Feeling relieved
After never feeling great since before starting on levothyroxine, I had a endo apt yesterday. I feel really confident moving forward. She has prescribed liothyronine, going on my private tests, and ordered blood tests, including one for my adrenal levels I believe. She even asked if I'd taken my

Successful follow up to previous post regarding bending the truth to obtain correct prescription level
Dear all, I wanted to let you know about my recent success in case it can help anyone facing the difficulties I faced. So, I've no Thyroid, was gradually lowered to 75 (from 150 - was 86kgs) and then put down to 50mcg Levo, where I became seriously ill. Drs used TSH testing only and put my illness

Here are my blood test results as promised…..
I’d be really grateful if you could take a look at my test results below and let me know what you think please. Since having the left side of my thyroid removed in February 23 because of a suspiciously large nodule, my blood tests had showed lower than optimum levels and so I was started on Levothyroxine

Blood pressure medication.
Hi everyone. Just a quick question. I was at hospital today as my blood pressure was extremely high, I haven't had any problems before with it but the high BP was found by a dentist who suggested I go to my GP. Long story short - hospital have put me on BP meds, 1 a day in the morning. I told the Dr

GP reducing Levo dose based on blood tests only. Need evidence/papers to show under dosing is potentially harmful too
Update March 2024: I finally saw a Prof of Endocrinology in December 2023 , who determined I did need Liothyronine. A shared care agreement was arranged with my GP and finally last week I started on a trial of Liothyronine. Thank you to everybody who responded and all information supplied. Knowledge

new Levo
I have just collected my new Levo prescription and have been given Aristo, has anyone used this and had any bad side effects? The reason I ask is that I can’t take Teva or Wockhardt

Taking levothyroxine with Lansoprazole and Atorvastatin and others

Why should ft4 be at a certain percentage through reference range (mid to upper) when on T4/T3 combination therapy when T4 is inactive?
As per the subject title, if ft4 is inactive, then why do some people on T4/T3 therapy only feel good if their ft4 level is at the mid/upper level despite the fact their ft3 (active form) may be at a optimal level? Or if they are not feeling well, why are they advised to increase their Levo dosage if
