Donating blood having been stubbornly low on ferritin but now persistently over range
Since taking too high a dose of iron for a period of time a few years ago my ferritin has been quite a bit over range. Previously it was longterm stubbornly low. All my life in fact. After stopping iron it began to lower slowly but has since remained static and too high. I also always have slightly raised

Looking to source T4 and T3
Hello all, If anyone knows where in the UK I can source T4 and T3, could you please send me a pm? Also if anyone knows a private Endocrinologist that actually knows what they are doing, I would really appreciate a recommendation via pm too please? Thank you

New erfa trial with levo - very worried about endo prescription and pharmacy NDT info. Please can anyone help?
Edit - endo says take ERFA 30mg OD - I don't even know what OD means? Assume every day 30mg but pharmacy are saying its double that I think? Hi I recently consulted an endo which was recommended by local thyroid patients so thought would try rather than go it alone as v ill atm. I've been taking 112mcg

Rise in PSA and extra Eligard Injection
My psa has risen from <0.01 in Feb to 0.04 in April to 0.27 in July then 0.41 this week. I had a CT and full body scan on Tuesday, which according to my MO, who I saw today, showed no ‘hotspots’. Because my PCa metastasised to 4 places in 2016 when first diagnosed, I had radiation to the prostate followed

Any answers please….
I’m wondering why I haven’t had any answers to my most recent post asking about taking T3 and sourcing T3. Perhaps I worded it badly or something but I notice other posters at around the same time have had replies. Perhaps there is no answer to my issue, lol! Apologies if I seem impatient, just feel

Pity Post
Hi lovely Lupies, Be warned this is a pity post. I am despairing and need your advice please. As you know I had the nasal surgery in February which went well but I haemorrhaged afterwards. While I was in hospital my left leg became quite rigid and quickly became painful. The pain and stiffness got

Symptoms like underdosing due to gluten?
Sorry for this long and wordy post, it's just a simple question: I thought gluten wouldn't affect my well-being. But I never ate large amounts of bread, cake, pasta, or anything containing large quantities of wheat or spelt. And I usually preferred wholemeal bread to white bread, with occasional exceptions

low Ferritin and hypothyroidism
I have long-standing hypothyroidism following a sub total thyroidectomy when I was in my twenties. I am now 71 years old. I had a goitre and was told that I had "Woody's thyroglossal disease" (an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto's). I take 125mcg of thyroxine a day. I now suffer from very low ferritin

Looking for sources
Hi, I'm looking for no-Rx T3 sources (shipping to France), as I've been using T3 from questionable sources for a few months and I'm have doubts about dosage being off. Also, any input from people having used brands such as [ redacted supplier ] or Hilma would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sertraline - interactions with thyroid meds?
I’m trying to find out why my FT3 levels have risen alarmingly. This morning, I posted asking whether anyone had any experience of Candersartan affecting FT3. I’ve had two meds added during a recent hospital admission. The first was Candersartan and the second was Sertraline. I stopped the Sertraline

Reading matter re establishment's attitude to hypothyroid treatment
A friend has a young animal who was born hypothyroid. Said animal has been put on thyroxin and is doing well. Having had the experience of doing well on thyroxin initially and then going slowly downhill until I began treating myself with T3, I thought I would mention it in case needed in the coming years

moving to the UK
Hello all! My family and I are moving to the UK, and I wanted to get a sense of what I can expect for my hypothyroid treatment. I am currently taking both T4 (Liothyronine) and NP Thyroid (a type of porcine thyroid). Both doses are somewhat low as my thyroid is still about to manage some production

T3 update
Thanks to everyone for responding to my first post about starting T3. After feeling awful on 5mg twice a day with 100 levo I decided to up it to 10mg twice a day. My mood lifted, headache went away and I have more energy and motivation. However, I seem to be having problems getting to sleep as if I'm
