T3 (Cytomel): How would you fit it in these results? Or would you? And all the mistakes I have made on this journey
Latest results (overjoyed to be finally here) - TSH .74 (.32 to 4) T4 14 (9 to 19) T3 4.2 (2.6 to 5.8) I am on 262.5 mcg levothyroxine (Note: In 50s so 50×5 & 1/4 of a 50) I feel what I would deem pleasantly okay. Always have felt the best on NDT, but I needed so much I could no longer afford it. And

My thyroid story
Hi I’m Alev and I’m new here, I’ve had thyroid cancer a couple of years back and had a full thyroidectomy due to cancer on both sides and spreading to my lymph nodes. To explain my story I need to go back to the beginning about over 10 years ago when I first started having symptoms and problems. For

Vocal chord damage in thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total Thyroidectomy 2 days ago which was a difficult op. My thyroid had grown so large it was pressing on my larynx, growing downwards to my chest, and growing round the back of my oesophagus. In previous surgery for breast cancer 2 years ago they were unable to get the breathing tube

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

Good source of t3
Has anyone sourced their own T3 or is the best option a prescription from a Dr? I'm 10 years from having total thyroidectomy. T4 only suppression treatment for Papillary Cancer. I've established, through another post and my blood results, that my T4 percentage isnt good and my coversion to T3 is poor

Is there anyone on here who has had a
partial
or full
thyroidectomy
in Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire who would be happy to share their experience, good or bad, and provide any tips/advice? Having had nodules for a number of years, one of mine increased in size in Jan 22.

T3 too high?
Hi all, Last time I had my thyroid levels checked I followed the protocol of taking half my Armour dose the night before my tests. The blood test was done at 9am and all was in range. This time my endocrinologist specifically asked me to have my blood tests two hours after taking my normal Amour dose

Thyroid supplements?
I have had a total thyroidectomy and am wondering if it is worth taking an all-in-one thyroid supplement. What do you think? Please advise.😊

Jaw/Tooth ache with Liothyronine
In previous posts I've mentioned my poor conversion of T4 to T3 following thyroidectomy over 2 years ago. As a consequence in January I went to a private endo and got a script for 90 tablets of Thybon Henning T3 20mcg which I got from Roseway Labs. I started taking these which I split 10mcg am and 10mcg

Started new thyroid medication Mon 😡
Sorry everyone but this is going to be a rant.... As many members will know I stopped taking my thyroid medication on January 31st because the incompetent endo put me back on teva, which I certainly don't get on with (gastric side effects amongst other side effects) Through my surgeon in Liverpool for

Post thyroidectomy.
Am now three weeks past total thyroidectomy and removal of numerous lymph glands. First week on levothyroxine I felt great. The last week I have been sleeping around sixteen hours a day. I could sleep right now! Due to see my surgeon next week for first check up since operation. What should I ask? I've

Thyroid ups & downs
I had a total thyroidectomy in France in 2012 & I still don't understand what changes occur in the body which require my dose of levoythyroxine to be increased or decreased when I haven't got a thyroid in the first place ! I had at least one, sometimes two changes of dose per year in France, signalled

Thyroid Bloods - Opinions Sought
Hi everyone, Have recently had the below blood results from private testing and I'd love the benefit of those who have more knowledge than myself. Brief history - total thyroidectomy 2019 and a downward health spiral ever since, significant weight gain (three dress sizes and no sign of stopping
