testing protocol on T4 and T3
Hi all. Does anyone have any experience/wisdom re a good time to take T3 pre bloods? I currently take it when I wake up which is between 6.20 and 7.30 and in the afternoon between 3.30 and 4.30. I have a first test since starting combined therapy booked and am wondering when I should take what.

Help with adding levo to T3 only
Hi, I've been on T3 only for many years (62.5 mcg). I've switched from levo to T3 only in the time because I had an elevated rT3 and still hypo symptoms despite elevated dose. Every endo I've seen in the last years said I should go back levo because my T3 levels are through the roof. They don't seem

Wow the GP experience is real…
I was recently privately diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto’s by a (NHS) endocrinologist with autoimmune Hashimoto’s. I was diagnosed via bloods and a scan, and there is a significant family history of Hashimoto’s. There was also a record of increasing TSH etc due to employer health checks. I think

Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back
