Urgent help with results please
I posted last week about feeling terrible on T3. Exhausted and aching all over. I’ve just had my second lot of results back. The top pic are the most recent ones and the one before that were the results when I’d started on a lower dose of T3. I’ve now dropped my levo from 175 to 150 and taking 10mcg

Confused by 'levothyroxine replaces; it doesn't top up'
Hello all, I have Hashimoto's, and take 100mg of Levothyroxine. I've just ordered a bloodtest from BlueHorizon, as I'm wracked with fatigue again. Before I get the results, I was hoping for some clarificiation on the fact I've seen stated in some posts about Levothyroxine being a replacement, not

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

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Lio/Levo testing protocol advice
On the advice of my (private) endo, I am currently trialling 15 mcg Lio (in 3 doses: 8 am, 1 pm and 6pm) and 75 mcg Levo 11.30 pm, and I need to re-test in a few weeks. I am wondering about the testing protocol, as if I test by 9 am, this dosing regime is the opposite of what’s usually recommended when

Generic Tirosint - Levothyroxine Sodium capsules USP made by Lannett - has anyone in the UK managed to obtain this medicine?
I would like to try Tirosint - to combine it with a trial of Liothyronine - I believe Tirosint is available from Roseway Labs on private prescription. But it's very expensive. I had heard that there was a generic version made in the US by Lannett Company Inc. Does anyone have any information about

Thyroid - related test results
Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence

Heart Rate Spikes
Not sure if this is thyroid related and will be speaking to the GP but wondered if anyone has found their heart rate randomly spiking while at rest?

How to Change to NDT
Any advice as to the best way to transition from 119 mcg Levo to NDT, in a gentle way. I have no thyroid. For example do I stop the Levo one day and start NDT the next, and if so what dose, or do a reduced dose of both for a few days/weeks until acclimatised? How much NDT should I take, both at the
