Advice before Endo appointment
Hi Everyone I would greatly appreciate some advice before a first meeting with a private endo (known to prescribe t3) next week. I am clearly a very poor converter, despite getting the fab 4(ferriten, Vid D, folate, B12) into optimal ranges..(see below) In August this year my GP saw my suppressed tsh

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this

New member with lots of questions about levo and NDT
Hi everyone, I just joined. My name is Anna and I am from Denmark. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto´s disease in December 2002, based on a high TSH, low FT4, and high anti-TPO and anti-TG levels. I was told it was very easy to manage, and that all I needed to do was to take levothyroxine until my TSH

Is it B12 deficiency, cortisol issues or COVID related?
I had Covid in March and since then have been feeling pretty much all of the rotten signs and symptoms I had when on T4 only as well as some more awful ones indicative of B12 deficiency. My ferritin vit D but especially B12 have all taken a dive. I have always had above range B12 without supplements.

Bloods on lower dose + Intermittent Fasting
Latest bloods on 125mcgs liquid Levo (random brands due to supply issues!!). Dose was reduced 6 weeks ago from 140mcgs due to IF pushing up FT4 and dropping TSH. Levo stopped 24hrs before test. Test was at 8.45am. B Complex stopped 7 days before test and B12 spray + 1mg Methylfolate taken in replacement

long term hair loss
Having been on levothyroxine for more than 10 years I have gone from having very thick hair to continually losing handfuls over the years and now having thin hair. I've asked GPS a few times but had no help. I take iron, biotin, selenium, magnesium, zinc, collegen and multi vitamins. Has anyone found

Medichecks Result and a warning about testing & HRT
Apologies for the long post (my first) and thank you if you manage to get to the end of it. Bit of history first (there's more in my bio), after 7 years of being bedbound with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I was finally prescribed combination T3/T4 in 2018. I hadn't had my bloods checked since 2019

Fastest way to lower TSH levels 🤗
Hey my lovely ladies 😍🤗☺️ Hope you are all well! Im flying to Turkey on the 7th September aiming for transfer around 20th. Something was bugging me and I've decided to check my TSH levels as I've got a history of slightly elevated levels. . With my luck they are quite high which would at least explain

Starting to feel bad again
Hello everyone! (sorry for the long post) I posted here about a year ago in regards to my test results and my GP's certainty that my labs were normal. I was trying to find that past post so I could remember all the details, but I dont know if it's been deleted since? Or if I'm being technologically

Hi hope everyone is well. Went to my dr to check thyroid bloods. I was on 112 T4 and 25 mcg of T3. My dr. Raised my T3 meds from 25-50.
Is that too large an increase all at once. I’ll give results below thanks. Total T4-5.1. Range 0.27-4.20. Free T4 1.3 Range 0.9-1.8. Free T3-2.44. Range1.80-4.60. T-3 71. Range 80-200. This was red flagged and caused dr. To raise my T3 meds. TSH is 0.01. It’s always that low as I have secondary
