need ammunition to stop Endo reducing my T3
Hello, this is my second post concerning the fact that my Consultant's Registrar wants to lower my T3 from 10mg but keep me on 54 mcg of Levo as my TSH is supressed. I have no thyroid after it was destroyed with RAI.However his Registrar was abrupt, merely telling me that my T3 must be reduced because

starting dosage of levothyroxine. GP ignoring Endocrinologist recommendation

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant

Graves disease Auto Immune Diet
Hello again. All has settled with tablets. Thyroid levels are normal again, so my Carbimazole dose has been reduced by half to 5 mg per day. I just wondered if anyone had tried any Thyroid diet plans with success. Not necessarily to lose weight, though I've put nearly a stone on with ATD but more

combined therapy help
Hi a little advise if possible: normally levo 125mg and thybon 5mg. A new endo has taken me off thybon to try and work out if I have diabetes inspidius (water balance issues). I think I was slightly too hyper but 3 weeks later and I feel terrible - weight gain, constipation, no apetite. I don’t think

Devastated
I went to my first three month blood test today. I am at Rai 0. I feel great. My WBC and Lymphocytes doubled in 3 months. I am starting V and O on Monday. I am pissed and scared. I had 3 months on Wait and Watch. Chronic was supposed to mean 3 years or 10 years before treatment. My wife and I are driving

Can Sodium or Calcium Channel Blockers Worsen SVT?
Okay, so I have a new med that I am trying, Propafenone. I have failed Norpace and also Flecainide. The problem I am having is that it seems that these medicines are making the SVT worse. I have Atrial Tachycardia. I cannot find any information about this. Where can I get more information? My doctor

Every time I feel I get near to a decision I learn something new! I am interested in what people have been told about staying

Carbimazole and severe bloating
I've been taking carbimazole now for 3 weeks but have been having extreme painful bloating in my abdomen. Not feeling sick and bowel movements are normal if not less regular. I cancelled my appointment for RAI to opt to try tablets first but this tummy ache is debilitating. Do side effects wear off

Low sodium levels in bloodwork
My husband was dx with MSA-P in 2021 with automonic dysfunction as his dominant feature. His sodium levels have been trending downward since his dx. He experiences frequent periods of confusion throughout the day and I always attributed this to severe blood pressure swings but now wonder if it is low
