T3 daily timings etc...
Hi, Would people kindly let me know what times of the day they take their T3, what dosage they are on and how they arrived at that dose? I would just like to know out of interest. I appreciate peoples requirements are totally different but I am just interested in what other people do as I'm having

Blood Test Results
Hello, I would be grateful for some advice regarding these results. The background is that my Levothyroxine dose was reduced from 100mcg to 75 in early February 2024, due to a TSH only test which was below range. By late March I could barely function so I had a private test prior to the GP's TSH test

T3 narrative
Hello, I have been exclusively on T3 since November 2023 following years of trying different combinations. At the current time I am sourcing this privately however I am soon due another endocrinology appointment and I’m dreading it, but would also like to see if I can get it on the NHS. They are so

Finally! My Thyroid Disease is Treated Optimally! :)
I just thought I would post my experience, prompted by my reply to a previous poster, who asked what they could realistically expect from optimal treatment. I think its helpful to see those that are happy on medication and their journey. I have been taking 75mcg of levo and 20mcg of lio daily for about

Reviews and recommendations
Hi, I was taking T3 over the counter which improved my symptoms substantially. I then had a heart attack late January and was told it was down to the T3 which I’m not convinced of. So I want to go down the road of talking to a doctor who knows what they’re talking about with T3. I’m full time disabled

Haven't tested since last July. Wanted to test again end of last year but pharmacies kept messing with my meds so I had to keep waiting for things to settle down for a few weeks Latest results on 125mcg Levo and 10mcg T2 split dose. Levo taken 24hrs before, 5mcg T3 taken around 4pm and 5mcg T3 taken

How is PA diagnosed?
How is PA diagnosed? How do we know if we have it?? I don’t think I have it but I do need to keep my ferritin in check due to absorption issues because of my Hashimotos…

Took progesterone 10 hours late on day 10 post FET transfer - freaking out!
It’s day 10 after my frozen embryo transfer and I have a positive pregnancy test! This is incredible news - I am absolutely over the moon. But I’m now also completely freaking out as messed up todays progesterone injection and took it 10 hours late. Am I going to miscarry? I’m crippled with worry.

Diabetes and Prednisolone
Hi, just enquiring about the use of Prednisolone and its affect on diabeties. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 2016. For the first four years I managed to control it by diet only but since I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 my diabetes has got worse year on year. I was initially put on Metformin

Has anyone had a Jak2 Blood Test for blood disorders?
Hi I've had high Platelets for years about 20 at least on every blood test. GP always just said your Platelets are high but we know that! rheumy often mentioned it too. Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular blood tests since

T3 only and feeling a bit desperate
I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Supplements before blood test?
Hi all - now that I am finally medicated and also had loading doses of B12 (and I paid for vit D3) injections, figuring out supplements I need to take alongside figuring out what is triggering my hyperthyroidism - I wanted to check which I should NOT take prior to the blood test I have finally got to

Statins and prednisolone
I have been on prednisolone for nearly two years, starting on 15 mg, now down to 6mg. Previously tapering at 0.5 mg every 6 weeks, more recently tapering at 0.5 mg at 8 week intervals. Now wondering whether to extend that interval further, after having had a bad flare. Following a recent diagnosis

Change in tablets Thyroxine 100mg
Hi.I have been taking Thyroxine 100mg for years fairly successfully. When I picked up my last prescription, the box was still coloured orange & looked the same but wider. The tablets composition had changed - were larger & harder to digest. Since I have been taking this batch I have had terrible hot
