starting T3/T4
Hi all I’m about to add T3 to Levo. I’m currently on 100levo and have been prescribed 50 Levo with 2x5 T3 per day. When is best to take the T3? One in the morning with the Levo and one around 12 hours later? Can it be taken near food etc? Any tips and positive experiences would be gratefully received

Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here

TSH results -sudden change -aberant high reading of 17.5
Over the past year or so, I have slowly been reducing levothyroxine under medical supervision in progressive steps of 25mmg from 125mmg down to 50mmg . I am male and nearly 75 years of age. After a 10 weeks interval of consistently taking 50 mmg to stabalise my metabolism, I received my TSH test

is T3 working?
hi everyone. It’s been a while since I posted. After some great advice on here I managed to get T3 privately which I’ve been taking for 8weeks. I don’t feel much different in all honesty. I have a review with my doctor tomorrow to discuss how I’m doing and to look at my bloods. They will want to reduce

Symptoms….I’m confused
Hi, grateful if people can throw some light please? My bloods (previously posted here) point to hypo BUT I don’t have the slow pulse and if anything it races in the mornings before I get out of bed. Also races when I do very little though think that’s because I’m so exhausted! I have a list of symptoms

GP Consultation
Well, I had my f2f GP consultation today and I was pleasantly surprised by his reaction. All bloods were within range (?) and there was no other cause for concern although there was no T4 or T3 test, only TSH. I went ready for a battle armed with various printouts but thankfully it wasn’t needed as

I cannot lose weight. I managed fine for years on Adkins diet then suddenly, in 2000 or so I started gaining wight from 120lbs. to 185 lbs!
For years I managed my weight fine with Adkins diet (low carb). Sometime around 2000 my general practitioner discovered I was hypothyroid & prescribed Levo (don't remember the amount). I was doing fine, but suddenly, in 2016 I began gaining weight for no reason at all!!! I am now up to 185 lbs.!!

Switching to NDT or adding T3?
Hi everyone, Related to my earlier post about sources of T3 and NDT I'd like some advice on whether and how to take these. I had an appointment with an NHS endocrinologist this week who dismissed my symptoms and refused any dose or medication changes. He insisted that the following results were '

Change of brand of Levothyroxine, Should I be worried.
I picked up my prescription today from my Pharmacy and after being on Mercury Pharma since the summer when I first started it, now they have given me the brand accord. I have been feeling better than I have for years, back to my old self again. Should I be worried now that the brand has been changed

pharmacy robots!
I’ve just been to collect my meds from my local pharmacy. I need to avoid Teva which they know, but this time the 25mcg levo was Teva. They kindly changed it in store but explained that in future they won’t be able to offer/avoid specific brands as all meds will be picked by a robot! Their only advice

When did you feel better on the right dosage of Levothyroxine?
24 male, diagnosed with autoimmune hypo at 16. Was on 200mcg levothyroxine (Synthroid) for years and felt amazing, 0 symptoms. Went off meds for 16 days, felt like crap, tsh 224 and FT4 6 (9-19), so I went back on 200mcg. After 8 weeks, extreme overmedicated symptoms (insomnia, fast heart rate, extreme

18 weeks pregnant on NDT with low T4
I was diagnosed with Hashi while going through my first round of IVF in May. Endo put me on a very low dose of Levo (50mcg) and when my TSH was low enough, he told me to stop. IVF cycle failed and when I retested my TSH a few weeks later, it was 56. Started on Levo again and felt awful. Ended up getting

Atrophic Thyroiditis?
Hello everyone. After all the advice I received from my last posts, I have upped my Levothyroxine from 100mcg x 3 days and 125mcg x 4, to 125mcg every day. I’m still also talking 10mcg of Lio a day. I’ve booked a blood draw for 2 weeks time by which point I’ll have done 7 weeks of this. BUT meantime

Combination therapy T4 + T3
Hi, since 2 weeks I started to take 10 mcg T3/ 2 days on top of my daily levothyroxine. I remember my periodic cycle was 24 days instead of 28 days when TSH was rising before. Today I was surprised to get my period at d23?! I am confused again. Was expecting the opposite.
