Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

blood results
Been on 50mcg for a few months and have recently been feeling awful again, so I requested repeat bloods. Results came back today: TSH 4.37 (0.3-4.2) T4: 13.8 (9-19) T3: 4.6 (3-5.4) really hope the doctors won’t argue about an increase to 75mcg 😭 I feel so shoddy doing even minimal increases so

Blood Tests NOT T4
Hi all Just looking for a bit of a steer. I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease in 2021 but as of now not on any medication, i couldn't tolerate Carbimazole as it made me very unwell. My last tests in around June 2022 with my endocrinologist showed my graves disease antibodies were very weak and things

Hi it's me again but this time I'm looking for advice for my daughter who has had Hypothyroidism since a teenager. Now 45. I've told her she needs to increase her thyroxine but thought I would ask the experts. They have never tested her T4 or T3. Her vitamins were tested last in October 2022 which

Help with blood test results and symptoms please
Hi, I have hashimotos, and had a hemithyroidectomy just before Xmas. Before the operation I had been described as sub-clinical hypothyroid, with a TSH of around 2. Since the operation I been suffering from pins and needles and a feeling of slight breathlessness, which mostly comes on in the evening

follow up to previous post. Help please.
Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

New blood test results
Hi all, Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite me reducing my levo and introducing T3. TSH 0.007

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

Thybon Versus Tiromel
Hi I have to swap from Thybon Henning T3 to Tiromel. I split a 20mcg pill of Thybon into 4 and use 3 of this across the day. The Tiromel is a 25 mcg pill. Will it be okay to split it into quarters and use as I have been doing. Effectively this will give me 3.75mcg extra T3 daily.

Another 8 weeks on. Advice, please
Hi everyone. Background: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism some years ago, but only discovered last November (2023), thanks to the forum, that I have an atrophied thyroid. Also, upped my dose of Levothyroxine in early October from 100 mcg Levothyroxine 3 times a week and 125 4 times a week plus 10mcg

Tired all the time
Lately I feel tired all the time, from when I wake up to when I go to bed in the evening, despite the fact that I sleep more than 8 hours per night. I take a lot of supplements (calcium, D3, folate, complex B, magnesium glycinate, heme iron),
the only value that was low was ferritin
but I do take
