Serum T3 too low? (Combo therapy)
Hi, I have been stable on 150mcg T4 + 12.5mcg T3 for about 10 weeks (gradually dropped the levo and added the T3), I did this test the other week and was surprised to see such low serum T3. - I did the test fasted at 9.20am - The 12.5mcg T3 was taken the previous night at 9.20pm (12 hours before

Feeling dizzy, breathless, jelly legs 3 hours after my dose
Hey everyone, Any ideas on this? I feel okay in the morning, okay late evening, but few hours after taking thyroid meds I start to feel tired, dizzy, breathless and my legs are like jelly. I take 86 mcg T4 and 23 T3 in Armour and synthetic T3 combined. I'm in a process of eliminating Armour and adding

A better appointment today!
After months of visiting the doctors surgery and having small levo increases with no change in my symptoms i have finally seen a sympathetic and intrigued doctor. He was reading my notes whilst i was explaining my symptoms and that 50mcg levo isn't cutting it, he stopped me in my tracks and said "no

How much to increase?
Good morning allI've had a few creeping symptoms recently, very irritable, less energy, needing to nap or rest more, niggles in my left hand and wrist, a morning of brain fog, a few palpitations which all seemed to come to head with very bad PMT last week when I was very tearful for a few days. I have

Recently diagnosed under active thyroid - Hashimoto's, bit confusing!
So pleased to have found this forum! I had a routine blood test followed by a call from the GP asking me questions about how i was feeling. I get tired easily but put all symptoms like that down to getting older and haven't really any other symptoms. I had glandular fever age 18 and since then have

How to take meds before blood test for T3 trial, advice please?
I normally take 100mcg
levothyroxine
and 10mcg
liothyronine
T3 at 7am and then 10mcg T3 around 4pm, can I do this the day before or do I need to take T3 a bit later? I’d like an accurate reading.

Could chronic urticaria be related to underactive thyroid?
I've had under active thyroid for 5/6 years and have been on a dose of 50mcg of Levothyroxine for all of this time. This year I developed chronic urticaria and then a different kind of dermatitis/eczema and I want to rip my skin off it's so itchy. This week I did an Advanced Thyroid Function Blood Test

New results. I'd be grateful for some input!
So, after 3 years of testing every 8 weeks or so, I still don't trust my interpretation. 😂 Latest results on 150mcg T4 and 30mcg T3 are: TSH: 0.01 T4: 18.5 (12 - 22) 65% T3: 5.4 (3.1 - 6.8) 62% Previous results on 125mcg levo and 30mcg T3 were: TSH: 0.01 T4: 17.8 (12 - 22) 58% T3: 5.1 (3.1 - 6.8)

*Update* TEVA Success
Today I finally got my hands on a box of TEVA Levo! Hooray!!! 🥳 My usual pharmacy managed to get hold of some in the end. They even got extra and have put it aside for me for my next prescription. Sometimes standing your ground does pay off! 😁 It will be interesting to see if there will be a difference

vit d spray
I have just read through a thread of someone’s post and saw that it said the vit d spray did not need to be 4 hours away from levothyroxine, is that correct?
