Armour help, please
I’ve been trialing Armour thyroid for 4 weeks (1/2 grain twice daily) - having changed from 125mg Levothyroxine / 5mg Liothyronine. These are my latest results. TSH 5.25 (0.35 - 4.94) T3 3.4 (2.4 - 6) T4 - 8 (9 - 19.1) My results in April were: TSH 0.19 (0.35 - 4.94) T3 4.2 (2.4 - 6) T4 12.4

Feeling like something stuck in my throat on swallowing - any thoughts please
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing ? I guess it is down to some issue in my thyroid - but there are no visual lumps externally, just this weird sensation on swallowing. It started in March . Three weeks ago I have had annual bloods by GP and as my TSH is suppressed

Where to get NDT
I'll keep this short. I have no thyroid. I'm on 119 mcg Levo and have just been on 2.5 - 5mcg Lio (I started low and slow), but stopped as I had random chest pains and feeling rubbish after a month or so on it. I'm now considering trying NDT as a replacement. Please PM me with any recommendations of

Has anyone seen endocrinologist Dr Diana Clayton in Plymouth?
I have booked a private appointment with Diana in August to discuss poor conversion of levothyroxine and getting onto the right dose/medication. She was recommended by another member on this forum. Has anyone seen Diana and what was your experience like? I've asked her a number of questions but she won't

Reduced levo
Hi. Doctor suggested I reduce levo as over 60 years now and surpressed TSH risk for osteoporosis. Like a fool, I agreed to a reduction of 25mcgs every other day even though I felt very well for the last seven years on my dose. After 3 weeks terrible heart palpitations mainly after eating. Slowed

Increased fT4 concentrations in patients using levothyroxine without complete suppression of TSH
Authors: Heleen I Jansen et al . 2023 https://ec.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/ec/12/4/EC-22-0538.xml I found this study ....it's not from endocrinologists , it was done by Lab researchers

I have had my Liothyronine changed from 10mcg daily to having to take 10mcg one day, then 5mcg the next day .
I have no thyroid .I presently take 75 mcg Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine and have felt well on that dose (I have no symptoms that suggest I am over medicated) But my FT3 was 8.5 - because there was only about an hour between me taking my Thyroid medications and the clinic taking bloods for a Thyroid

Borderline TSH during cancer treatment
Hi folks! Haven't been on here for some time but in the interim I have been treated for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Had chemo in September last year which was successful (minus a few hiccups like fungal pneumonia that put me in ICU!) and currently on home oral chemo, antifungals and antibiotics daily

Struggling introducing T3
Hi all, I knew I’d be back before too long as I’m totally useless when it comes to introducing T3! Bit annoying as I obviously need it. Here are my results when I was on 87.5mcg Levo daily with no T3. TSH 0.007 (0.27-4.2) Free T3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) Free thyroxine 23.1 (12-22) Over the last couple

Help with test results including vitamins
I have just had test results from Blue Horizon including vitamins. I take 75 Levothyroxine and 10 t3 self sourced. Levo reduced by doctor due to suppressed TSH I persuaded her not to reduce again which she wanted to do by taking in last blood results with t4 and t3. I always felt well on 100 Levo and

Starting T3 - advice please
I am fortunate to have been allowed a trial of T3 through the NHS (in Scotland) Can I ask for some advice / could anyone link to some helpful posts around starting T3? I am currently on 100mcg Levo. This is being reduced to 50mcg with 5mcg of Liothyronine twice a day (12 hours apart - so 7:30am and

When to take Lio before blood test?
Hiya, sorry I have not posted for a while. It is a familiar story alas: hypo symptoms on Levo alone became very bad, eventually got referral to endo, started Liothyronine (T3) trial in Oct 2021, worked great, hypo symptoms improved rapidly. But now TSH is below range and my endo wants to reduce Lio

Postpartum thyroiditis?
Hi everyone, Just a bit of a random one. So I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Dec 2023 (7 months postpartum). It was a bit of a shock tbh. I since found out about Postpartum thyroiditis and wondered if my diagnosis was related to that and would somehow sort itself out in a year - 18 months? I'm

Energy levels increased and a feeling of wellbeing when not taking Levothyroxine
Hi I ran out of Levothyroxine a day ago so I didnt have any this morning. I've just done two hours of exercise and I was able to push myself much more than usual. I can sometimes feel very tired in the evenings however I feel fine tonight. Could all this be down to the lack of Levothyroxine and if so
