What on earth is going on with my T4?
I've just got my latest test results back. I am currently on100mcg levothyroxine which was raised from 75 in June. However my T4 levels have significantly decreased since June despite the rise in levo. My TSH results have also decreased. Can anyone explain what is likely to be going on? I've also had

Confused and seeking wisdom !
I have been living with hypo type symptoms for decades but have been very unwell for the last 10 years. I have long suspected thyroid issues being a part of it. I had a diagnosis of M.E. in 2021 but likely would have had one earlier if I had gone to GP's. I am mostly home bound often bed/sofa bound.

T4 to T3 conversion
Does T4 to T3 conversion lessen with age? I'm just trying to figure out why I feel 20 years older than my real age. No changes to any meds and supplements and TSH and T4 levels are on a par with where they've been for several years. Ferritin is low but I suspect it's been that way for a long time. I

Side effects on combination therapy : thyroxine and T3
I have been on combination therapy for about 7 weeks. I have noticed I am quite breathless and this looks like it can be related but unusual. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

New T3 prescription help please
After 3 years my endo finaly prescribed a trial of T3....but, as some have mentioned on here...it seems like they almost set you up to fail. What I mean by this is that I've been on Levo for 25+ years and the Endo has prescribed 12.5mcg twice daily, making it 25mcg a day !!! which (I may be mistaken)

RLS and changing meds
I have been on roprinerole xl (2mg and 4 mg) and the regular. Mostly I take the regular one because the insurance companies don't like to pay for the extended release. Right now, I cut a 4mg regular into 4 equal parts. I take two parts at night, so that's a 2 mg at bedtime and 1 and 1 earlier during

low ferritin/T3 capsules
hi everyone.. My ferritin test result is 24 (10-300) Nice guidelines say under 30 can have iron infusion? Should I push for that? I picked up my T3 prescription and was planning on splitting them but they are 10mcg capsules.Roma is the brand. I do have 2 boxes of the Greek brand from unipharma
