Experiment to switch from Metavive to levothyroxine
On 23rd September 2022 I started to gradually introduce levothyroxine and reduce Metavive until I was on only levo to see if I could manage on this alone. [see post Raising TSH from 11 months ago]. I had hoped to see if I converted T4 to T3 adequately but had to do it myself as my GP wouldn't help with

Lanarkshire t3 guidelines
Can someone point me in the direction of local prescribing guidelines for liothyronine for nhs Lanarkshire, Scotland? I presume at best I'd only get a trial....I haven't had much success googling. Thank you!

T3 and Supplements
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all feeling well today (and every day ideally, of course!). I started a trial of T3 ten days ago. I was prescribed x3 5mcg a day but after years of learning and a lot of reading on here, I decided to take it very slowly and have just been taking 2.5mcg on wake up with

levothyroxine increase
hi, I recently posted with all my results and was advised that I should ask doc to increase my dose, I did that and he increased from 25 to 75, feel bit anxious and bit different, was that too much of an increase in one go or should I just continue and it will hopefully settle down?

BTA and 'T3 does not cross the placenta'
The BTA guidelines on liothyronine state 'T3 does not cross the placenta'. There is some truth in this in that type 3 deiodinase (D3) in placenta converts T3 to T2. However, they fail to point out that D3 also converts T4 to rT3. The transport of T3 and T4 across the placenta is very complex but the

Vitamin and mineral supplements? My latest results
Hi all, I've just had my latest Blue Horizon results (see image) which I would welcome comments on, particularly regarding the vitamins and minerals I might need to supplement. All blood tests were done no later than 9.30am, no levo for 24 hours before. I've worked really hard this year on my diet, but

HI, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2006, and Pernicious Anemia in 2011, although I do suspect I had the PA long before the date of diagnoses. I have been taking 50mg Levothyroxine since I was diagnosed and I now self Inject for the PA.

B12 or something else?
Hi About 2-3 years ago, during lockdown when it was difficult/impossible to see a GP, I started taking B12 supplements 3-4 times weekly. Whilst not wanting to diagnose myself, I felt I had little choice given the GP situation, plus my daughters are B12 deficient, and had the same symptoms as myself

T3 as opposed to levothyroxine
yesterday I had a consultation with an endocrinologist. Told her my story of having issues with levothyroxine. The fact that the 2 different brands I tried made my original symptoms worse and gave me chronic joint pain. She looked at my most recent results and suggested T3 alone as I seem to have a conversion

Need some help!
Hi. I am a 44 year old woman. In October 2020 I had a hemithyroidectomy. First weeks I was doing great, but then my TSH started to rise and I started to notice hair loss of the outer part of the eyebrow at TSH 3 . At TSH above 4 I felt tired and my doctor put me on levothyroxine 50 MCG. Soon

Can of worms
I have always been grateful for all the help I have received from HealthUnlocked since I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's some eight years ago. For the last few years, I have done very well on 100 mcgs of Levothyroxine and 8 mcgs T3 per day. I find a Keto, completely gluten free and almost entirely organic

has anyone tried Thybon Henning T3?
Hi all, I am seeing an endo (in sussex) privately and following my last thryoid results he suggested I would benefit from having 100mgs Levo and 20mgs T3 tablet a day (taking 100m levo with 10mgs together in morning) and then the other 10mgs later in afternoon. As I have never taken T3 before, and
