Is Levo the Pro Harmone any use at all?
I have been reading two books of Paul Robinson's: The Patient's Thyroid Manual and The Recovering from T3 books The question I have is something he writes about, which is: If more levo is taken and TSH reduces, then this process has a knock on effect hindering the T4 to T3 conversion. Therefore,

Where to buy Levo?
Hiya, My recent TSH result was much higher than I wanted (4.6), but apparently that is not enough to convince my doctor to prescribe more. 'Acceptable range' apparently, even though we all know differently. Can anyone DM me any websites where I can buy some myself please? Thanks, Mids_thyman.

New test results as been feeling yuk.
Decided to have another Medichecks two days ago, now six weeks post covid negative. I’ve been quite hyper, getting hung up on cleaning, sleep is all over the place, full of rage so I knew things weren’t right. Craving coffee (rationing to 2 a day) and sugar - my mouth doesn’t even want to realise I’m

Why do all my symptoms suggest hyperthyroid if my results show hypo?
Hi everyone! I got my thyroid results about a month ago - first time ever tested. My GP initially wanted to test my thyroid because of these symptoms: sudden severe anxiety, trouble sleeping, shakiness, palpitations. I've also had increased sweating and some diarrhoea (not bad). I've lost some weight

Tirosint - can anyone advise how I can find out if this brand is available in my area?
I am struggling to access lactose free Levothyroxine at my GP surgery’s pharmacy and have read that Tirosint has fewer excipients than most brands of T4 and wondered if anyone could advise me the best way forward for accessing this brand/or other similar brands? Many thanks.

GP and TSH
After being parred off by my gp who was stating how tsh works and because my tsh is 0.008, i have too much levothyroxine in my body.He said to reduce my levo to 75mcg.I've currently increased to 125mcg. I'm feeling the best I've been for a long time and really don't want to feel rubbish again. I've left

Crescent Levothyroxine
I was diagnosed hypothyroid (Hashimotos) around a year ago, and have been on 75mcg Teva since then, with no side effects. I picked up my latest prescription from the pharmacy today, and they have given me 75mcg Crescent brand. Has anyone had any experience of changing from Teva to Crescent, and did

Self sourcing levo
Can anyone private message me how to self source levothyroxine. Just incase my gp doesn't see sense.

BP normal after liothyronine reduction
For a number of reasons and with agreement of my endocrinologist, I reduced my liothyronine from 15mcg a day to 10mcg. I also take 100mcg Levo daily. I’ve been on the reduced dose over 4 weeks. I have terrible anxiety about having my bp taken. I monitor it at home and it usually starts high, so I meditate

T3 result advice
I’m asking this for a friend who just got her blood results. Her TSH was below 2 and T4 was high in range which I know is good. I don’t know much about T3 her result for T3 was 4.10 and range is 3.10 to 6.80 so can someone tell me if this is good. She is on levothyroxine only.

I GAVE UP.
I will try and be short about my story. It is a snapshot of events whilst I was on Levothyroxine for more or less 25 yrs. I never felt well and was never referred to an endocrinologist. I gained weight, my hair thinned. I had problems not only with my voice, but swallowing food. I had brain fog, acute

GP reducing levo
GP wants to reduce levo, because my tsh was 0.008.I've increased my levo to 125 daily and still taking t3 5mcg in 3 doses.
