Help with T3 please
Hello everyone. I hope all is well. I’ve recently had T3 added to my Levo & would like advice on the best way to take it. I was given a prescription for 90x5mcg tabs & told to take first dose morning with my Levo, next dose at 12 then 3pm. How much I take is up to me. I have had high cortisol levels

Have I understood correctly? (Polite) stand-off with ultrasound doctor.
Hello everyone I’m just back from an ultrasound on my thyroid where the dr conducting the procedure declared my thyroid “boringly normal “. She also added that my larynx was “beautiful “. She then stated that I “do not have a thyroid condition “. I respectfully disagreed but she persisted: “

Teva levothyroxine solution, any positive results for anyone?
Hi Has anyone tried Teva levothyroxine solution, and had positive results compared to taking any levothyroxine tablets? To cut a very long story short, the 75 mcg Wockhardt tablets I take are causing terrible pressure all over body and excruiciating burning through top of my head. So bad I collapse.

Sharp increase in TSH
Hi all, After such helpful advice from the lovely people of this forum earlier this year, in June my GP finally agreed (fairly unwillingly) to increase my Levothyroxine dosage from 75mcg to 100mcg as I had been experiencing joint and muscle pain, weight gain, extreme fatigue, and generally feeling terrible

transferring from Armour to synthetic T4/T3 combo - conversion rates?
I’ve been given a trial of levo and T3 by an endocrinologist. I am currently on 2 grains of armour although I stupidly told the Endo I was on 1.5 grains by mistake. She is starting me on 100mcg of thyroxine plus two doses of 10mcg of T3 (morning and afternoon). I’m now worried this won’t be enough and

First ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test
Hello lovely folks, I've had my first ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test and would really appreciate your views on next steps. The TSH result would indicate I need to increase levo, also I'm concerned at high CRP and antibodies! Plus I don't think I convert T4 to T3 very well. Your thoughts are very

Advice on referred blood tests
As per my recent post, a GP (not my usual) is on the band wagon to reduce my levothyroxine due to a suppressed TSH. This became suppressed a few years ago when I tried T3, although I've always been towards the top of range (until now it seems) and it made no difference, so I stopped it. My usual GP

unstable tsh levels
Last year, my TSH levels went berserk . I was successively under treated then I had an overload of replacement medication-Levothyroxine. From October to June, my blood tests were abnormal despite 4 changes of Levothyroxine doses . Once this was sorted, I had a severe reaction after a swim in cool water

Nausea - Levo/Thyroid symptom?
I am at a complete and utter loss. Why as I optimise dose do I feel nauseated for days now? As of a few weeks ago I’ve been alternating doses of 75mcg own day, followed by 100mcg of Levothyroxine only for hypothyroidism (Hashimoto). Same brand throughout treatment thus far. Perhaps it’s nothing to
