I have just had a set of results back and they r as follows: TSH 1.44 (0.27-4.2) T4: 16.6 (12.0-22.0) T3: 7.1 (3.1-6.8) As you can see my T3 is too high. I take 75mg of T4 each day And 10mg T3 three x a week. Is lowering my T3 as simple as reducing the amount I take? Perhaps to 10mg twice a week

Methotrexate and Hypothyroid
Hi Everyone, I'm about to be started on Methotrexate for Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm hypothyroid and currently take 125ug Levo daily. My question is does anyone have any experience of these two things in combination? I know about taking Folate with Methotrexate but not sure about what it might do to my

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

t3 only or combination t3/t4
I’ve been working with a private gp to see if t3/t4 will work better as I appear to be a poor converter I have had some improvement in fatigue and mood symptoms but the severe muscle tension has come back, The doctor is German and she says it is common to test rt3 and if it is high to consider t3

Levothyroxine natural alternative?
My doctors have prescribed Levothyroxine and Synthroid for me in the past. However, both meds drastically increased my blood pressure to dangerously high levels, landing me in the hospital emergency room twice. (This, even though I routinely take Ziac blood pressure pills, which have kept my bp steady

thyroid trouble please help!
first time poster here, 37yo M. I have been feeling exhausted for a long time now and been struggling with constipation. We can’t find a reason for this but my GP did some bloods that showed a normal T4/T3 but a TSH of 3.7 which is the upper limit of the normal range. I have been begging to trial thyroid

Got in a mess over reduction of T4
If possible could greygoose TiggerMeor anyone else offer some much needed advice. A few weeks ago I reduced t4 to 75/100 over one week (high t4) I felt very under medicated so then increased again. I then changed to a lactose free make to see if accord was causing the acid reflux. Recently

Magnesium Bisgycinate which has been changed to Magnesium Citrate as Helen became bound up, However

How to get an accurate T3 reading with bloods?
Ive asked a similar question before, regarding blood testing for T4/T3 and realised for years I was having a blood sample done a few hours after I had taken my Levo upon waking up. People on here then said to have the bloods done that morning before taking T4, to get a more accurate reading. Since then

Help interpreting thyroid test results
Hi. I recently had thyroid blood tests done via the NHS but I have so much brain fog I can't make head nor tail of them. My GP thinks they're a bit odd but puts it down to me taking Metavive (advised by Dr. Sarah Myhill a couple of years ago). Plus, she says I'm within the NHS range anyway so they won't

Problem absorbing T4/T3
Just wondering if anyone knows how you can tell if you are not absorbing thyroxine and liothyronine due to gut/stomach problems. Will your TSH and T4/T3 blood levels show you have enough hormone - i.e. will it still get into your blood but not other parts of your system. I currently have a diverticulosis

Help Please!
Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link
