Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

Tapering off pramexole
I've been reading this forum for a couple of years and it's really helpful. I'm in the states and I know this is a UK forum so I'm using American measurements. A little background. Thirteen years ago my husband complained I was treating the bed like a trampoline. I was sleeping through all of it, except

Looking for Medical Assistance Australia
Hi Everyone I’ve been plagued by RLS for just on 30 Years now. 15 years untreated ( what hell that was), and the last 15 years on Pramipexole. This worked pretty well for me, although I’ve had to steadily increase the dose, and therefore the side effects. My GP is happy for me to reduce the Pramipexole

T3 side effects
hi, Please can I have some advice. I’ve been taking 10 mcg T3 for 7 months together with 75 mcg T4. I haven’t felt particularly any better on T3 except for an improvement in tiredness and mood. I’ve felt hyped up and breathless on exertion so I asked for an ECG. I’m 68 and they found that I have a

Private Endo and T3
Hi all, I haven't posted in a few months as I've been waiting for a telephone appointment with a private endo. In the interim I've been taking my Levo only, alternating 125mcg and 112.5mcg and feeling OKish, but not brilliant, low energy etc.. Had total thyroidectomy 2 years ago. I had my private consultation

Premature cardiac risk
“20” percent of humans have elevated lipoprotein (a), putting them at risk for heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, only 3/10 of a percent (.3 percent ) of U.S. primary care physicians ever test their patients, unlike physicians in the EU and Canada. The link below will offer more

Sources of T3/NDT
Hi everyone, Following my recent test results in which my T3 levels had dropped (with no change of dose) and meeting with an endocrinologist who insisted everything was 'optimal' (although only just within range) I would like to explore either adding T3 or switching to NDT. I would like to know of

T3 medication
I’m taking T3 medication and want to know if anyone who is also taking T3 has daily headaches. I suspect that the headaches may be a side effect of t3 medication.
