Effect of thyroid meds on adrenals
I have been on levothyroxine for 2 years, numbers were good but wasn't converting well so I added a bit of Cytomel, 3 mcg. I felt ok, but not great. I tried to increase the Cytomel dose to 5 mcg but it made me sleepy all day. I finally lost weight and my face looked really good. Maybe I should have continued

Elvanse Vyvanse for ADHD & anxiety - Are these side effects normal or is it the wrong med?
Days 1, 2, 3 of Elvanse felt INCREDIBLE. Like a fog lifted - happier than i remember being in yeaaars with so much motivation and energy to get stuff done. Also waayy more sociable. ...but weeks later I don't feel nearly that amount of stimulation and I'm trying to navigate side effects/increased anxiety

Just recived letter of endo appointment š¤
Hi everyone ā¤ļø... Just recived the letter that tells you the surgery are referring you to an endocrinologist at Newcastle, no idea at the moment who that is.But I've popped a few pointers to discuss with them, mainly the awful symptoms on both the T4, T3. We I hope, will probably discuss alternative

Nd Thyroid to thyroxine
Hi, I have Hashimoto's thyroid and Endoctrinologist has advised I move from NP thyroid to thyroxine. I was sent for Ultra sound by my doctor and had difficulty getting a follow up as he was on holidays for 2 months. I had to get online doc to refer me and only had report of ultrasound so not the scan

Need advice
Been feeling tired/exhausted for years. Weight gain, cold all the time. High cholesterol - being treated. Palpitations. A lot of these symptoms I have read can be due to thyroid problems. Had a private blood test done. Results are: TSH 3.71/ Free T4 14.3/ Free T3 4.5. I know these are within range but

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimotoās and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

A few Things ā¦.
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

Update to last post: What does T4 do?
Hi Thanks for all the help when I asked the question about T4, while prepping for my appointment. The appointment went well, I got a GP with ears! GP wanted to discuss the last endo letter saying that I can't have T4 increase unless I agree to give up my "self medicating habit." I explained that I

Newbie trying to get off Pram
I've been on 2x 0.088 for a while. Compared to what I've been reading on the forum it sounds a low dose....I think.I started augmenting so managed to get Gaba from GP the other day. GP said I could come straight off Pram but I've taken 1 x 0.088 tonight with 300mg gaba. It's 02.15 and my legs are going

early concerns/ paranoia
Feeling a bit guilty taking up space here before I have any real diagnosis.
