Not feeling the Heat like I usually do!!!
Hi all For years, I've really felt the heat during the summer months but, this summer, I'm actually feeling quite comfortable, which is great and I'm certainly not complaining. I have change my thyroid meds, at the end of last year, so several months ago. I was on Levothyroxine 150mcg daily but GP

Ongoing battle to stay on T3
I have been on T3 only for over 15 years. This was prescribed by a GP and Endo in Essex. 12 years ago I moved to Sheffield then Derbyshire.I had been with my new surgery for 2 years when out of the blue they started getting cagey about giving me T3, At first it was lots of questions and scaremongering

Iron related question please
I am currently trying to get my iron levels up and they are slowly creeping in the right direction. However. My latest bloods show that my TSAT is now too high at 65% (up from 39% two months ago), and ferritin at 70ug/L (up from 65ug/L.) Is this just something to monitor for now? It’’s never been

Should I be worried about suppressed TSH
I am extremely well and all my bloods seem within normal range to me (but not the GP)! I am 61 years old and was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroditis and Chronic Fatigue in 2004. My only health issue is very erratic sleep (one night 8 and a half hours, the next 4) which I handle by resting in the afternoon

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'

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,

Anyone get a positive pregnancy test with zero symptoms after FET transfer?
Hi everyone,This is my fifth and final transfer from donor eggs (an untested 6 day 4BA blast) and I can't help but think it didn't work because it's 5 days after my transfer and I feel nothing. The first transfer was an early loss (hcg was 50 and then started dropping) but even then I remember having

Going from NDT to T3 - advice please
Hi from a chilly England. I have been paying privately for NDT (2.5 grains daily) for some time now. For the briefest moment I was prescribed Armour NDT but the regulators prevented my GP from continuing this so as all they would offer me was T4, I paid privately for NDT for a decade. My finances have

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Hi all, I’m on 100mcg Levo and 20mcg compounded IR T3 split through out the day and my resting heart rate is 50bpm. it used to be 55bpm and I’m not sure why it’s dropped. Is this a reason for concern or indication of undermedicated ? I’ve attached my results from end of January where I posted on

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding

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
