Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

Can I justify Armour?
Without the GP's knowledge (and after advise on here) I came off Armour for a month in order to falsify my results so that the GP would stop getting so upset about my suppressed TSH in the hope that he would continue to treat me with a combination of T4 and Armour which I've been on for 20 years.

Latest results. Not sure what to do…
Had my annual NHS test yesterday- No T3/T4. TSH only checked: 0.87 (0.38 - 5.33) MMH test from last week: TSH: 0.83 (0.27-4.2) t4:17 (12-22) t3: 3.7(3.1-6.8) **Both tests were done as per forum protocol. GP increased my levo to 100mcg at the end of April 2024, but I decided to go low/slow

How to choose doctor
Hi. I’m thinking of going private to get treated for Hashimoto’s but I’m not sure whether to and if so who to go to. I was self medicating with T3 but was told that my heart attack in January was down to taking too much. I’ve since come off it and feel awful. I don’t know whether to go back to

Help with blood results please
My Daughter has just had some blood results and I would be grateful if you could advise on them.

But my cognitive abilities have declined and I cannot even remember how to

advice please- protein shakes
I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes

Stress and Anxiety
Hello I have been feeling very anxious and stressed last 3 months; I started a new job 6 months ago so lots to learn and very busy, but don’t think it is causing me the heart racing anxiety I have been feeling (which I have never experienced before). I take 75 mg Levothyroxine and was due to do test

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels. In June 2024 I increased

slow release liothyronine
Like many people on here I miss the wise opinion and knowledge of Diogenes enormously. I know he was working on the formulation of a slow release liothyronine which was in clinical trial. Does anyone have an update on this? is it any closer? In the meantime I am tempted to try sustained release compounded
