reduced thyroxine
Hi all I upped my levo to 112 mcg based on weight and asked here about it and it was said it’s not really recommended! So went back to 100mcg daily. I woke up yesterday feeling really dizzy and not balancing well 😟 I’m wondering if this has anything to do with reduction? Many thanks

Testing protocol
Hi, I'm about to test my T3 and T4, 6 weeks after starting lio. I know that I need to leave 24 hours between my last levo dose and the 9am test (taking my levo straight afterwards). But what about the lio timings? I currently take 10mcg in one dose upon waking. The test is a private test and won't be

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'

Glowwa?
Hello, I am looking for some advice please.My hairdresser takes thyroxin and Glowwa. My doctor says I can't take Glowwa. I am confused and not sure if he is right or if he just had not checked properly. Does anyone know? Many thanks.

Anyone been prescribed T3 by endo in Leeds? I need to advise my son's partner. Please send a pm (chat) to me.
Good morning, can I pick your brains? My son's partner has Hashimoto's and still has symptoms despite normal blood test results and I'm urging her to request a referral to an endocrinologist for a trial of T3. She is new to hypothyroidism and her fT4 and fT3 results indicate she is a poor converter,

Blood Test Results
Hello again, I have just had a full blood test ( T3 not tested of course). I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please. I was hoping to increase my T4 but Dr wanted to do a blood test first Currently taking 75mg (but I have increased this amount myself to 100mg) so these are results based

Introduced T3, feeling exhausted & gaining weight
Hello there, I've been introducing T3 slowly since Feb 24 - started 5mcg for 6 weeks then up to 7.5mcg and now 10 mcg per day. Also taking levo - started at 137.5mcg, then when I introduced T3 (and T4 went down), endo increased levo to 150, and then 6 weeks later T4 still too low, increased levo to

Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

new to NHS in Northern Ireland
Hi there. Moved to NI two years ago. The local GP won't prescribe anything other than T4 and won't refer to an endocrinologist. Does anyone in Belfast know an NHS or private endocrinologist who is open-minded to using T3 as a supplement to the T4 therapies? I'm feeling poorly and they just accept

Blood test interpretation
Hallo everyone, I requested a blood test to cover a number of things - not sure this one covers everything or maybe there's more to come. I wonder if anyone might be willing or have the time to help with interpretation. ESR looks OK - I requested CRP as well but doesn't appear to be there unless I

Bloating and thyroxine hormone absorption
Would bloating of the digestive system after some liquid medication I have been given for an infection affect the T4 tablet absorbtion? I am also avoiding lactose and have noticed an improvement in the absorption but I have not managed gluten at the moment due to trying to recover. I know T4 is absorbed

Since my menopause I feel like my T3 is needing upped. Any advice on my recent blood tests?
My t.s.h was sitting at about 7.9 and I'm not feeling at my optimal. Usually my T.s.h is in between 2.5 -4.5 ish. Since menopause and getting older I feel I definitely need an upped dose! Any advice from those with t3 experience. My T4 is low at 4ish and my t3 is high because of my treatment at 8ish

Which medicine is messing with my thyroid med uptake
Might anyone be able to suggest which of my other meds has affected my thyroid med uptake (100mcg thyroxine and 2x5mcg t3)? I was prescribed digoxin, furosemide and bisoprolol after having open heart surgery 3 mths ago to resolve some anatomical defects. Uptil that point thyroid levels were stable

Endo gave me private prescription
so, good news! The private Endo appointment went as I’d hoped and he was happy to let me try T3. I’m now trying to source it. I’ve had a no back from a couple of places on the list from Thyroid UK. Thing is, I just wanted to check as on the prescription it says triiodothyronine rather than liothyronine

Keep taking the tablets!
I've just been down to the G.P. for my freebie B12 jab. (s.i. at home weekly) I told her that I've been feeling really tired lately, like I did before my P.A. diagnosis, when I was very anemic. So she says, ah, go and buy some B12 tablets from the chemist, that will make you feel better! Cue the lecture

Feeling anxious hopeless desperate and overwhelmed, sad
I’m so down and anxious today really struggling. I can’t think of anything else but fertility and my struggling relationship. I am bleeding black gritty blood as a reminder. I had a negative test two days ago from a fresh transfer where we only got one embryo. . After the negative I drank wine and
