Question about accuracy of free t4 test
Hello, I had a recent blood draw in which my GP threw in a T4F without telling me so I took my thyroid medication like usual and had the blood drawn about 3.5 hours later. I usually skip my meds until after a blood draw if I’m expecting thyroid labs to be done. My T4 level was 1.9 (0.8-1.7) and I’m

Bowel Endo?
Saw GP last week and stool results came back with very raised Calprotectin (inflammation) and Blood in stools (FIT test). I’ve now been referred on the urgent 2-week ?cancer pathway, could also be IBD with results so now waiting on an urgent colonoscopy. Could this be bowel endo? Lots of overlapping

Puffy fingers without Raynaud's?
I've committed the cardinal sin and entrusted Dr Google to diagnose me leading to feeling pretty distraught about the future, or lack of it... I've developed puffy fingers in the last few months, pretty much always brought on by activities - DIY, weeding in the garden. They don't tend to become puffy

Considering coming off T3
hi all. Been a while since I used this forum. But I’ve been pondering a couple of things relating to my health and the impact of T3 on it. I’ve included latest blood results. Firstly I feel broadly well, albeit I had pneumonia in January this year and was hospitalised for two weeks. Since then

Good outcome, and relief for the time being
My visit to Brightons Royal Sussex Hospital today has been exhausting but I have come away knowing the outcome of my short synacthen test and having delayed surgery on the pesky pituitary adenoma that was revealed (unexpectedly) by MRI in January. The good news is that my adrenal glands are capable

Update on neurology appointment
Saw the local consultant here in Aberdeen (not a RLS specialist) had a thick pile of paperwork, journals etc to give him. However, these were not needed (yet!) I gave him my last week symptom severity scale and monitor (from RLS-UK.ORG) which he will scan into my notes and encouraged me to bring new

Trying again as sadly no replies last time: Where to buy T3 online please - not Tiromel
I am looking for sources of T3 online that is not Tiromel please. I successfully found a source previously from this great community but that has dried up sadly. Any help would be gratefully received as I am running low. Please private message me. Many thanks

Day 12 after embryo transfer and signs of period starting
Today is day 12 after embryo transfer. I’m due to take a pregnancy test Wednesday morning, however this morning I’m sadly starting to show the initial signs of my period coming. I haven’t had any spotting at all since the transfer, and my period due date is today, so it seems too much of a coincidence

Thyroid depressed cont....
My original post is of the same name. I wish I could remember each member's handle. I was really struck by some of the comments. Each reply had a piece of the puzzle "why" I've been feeling so unwell since I started using this new supplier. I believe I only ordered Thyroid-S three times from this person

10 Years Of Pain, Shame, Confusion & MEN1
Hi Out There! I began having steatorrhea 10 years ago while taking care of my ex-husband who was dying of metastasized lung cancer. After his radiation treatments he liked to go to a certain breakfast style restaurant, and I had no idea that French toast could be so devastating to my body! I saw a doctor

Leukocytes found in urine - because of CLL?
I had a urine test which was part of my annual physical. It came back that I had leukocytes in my sample. The number mentioned was 70. I am in Canada so maybe 70 would be measured differently elsewhere. I don’t have a UTI, bladder infection. Is it possible that we could have leukocytes in our urine

Thyroid Depressed
The last batch 23T01007 of Thyroid-S was either bad , destroyed by the heat ,or both. The lid never fit properly. There was a piece of bubble wrap in the bottle which i found odd. The pills were hard as pebbles and it didn't work right. I felt I went from hpo to hyper thyroid trying to get the dose

Update on aneurysm
I finally had my appointment with a doctor down at the University of Iowa last week. Since he felt that my case was complicated due to my GCA, he decided to take it to the risk management team which met on Tuesday. For some reason, they did not come up with a plan. He recommended that I see a rheumatologist

Dosage
My good new GP has started to treat my hypothyroidism with T3. He wants me to eventually be taking 7.5mcg. Any suggestions for best pill size and makers. Thank you

80/20 T4 and t3
Read that the healthy thyroid produce 80t4 and 20t3 and therefore Westin Child's try to give that amount to his patients. Do you find this to be best also? Or what percentage are you taking?

Help with Three Arrows
Hi, I wanted some advice on how to take three arrows iron repair. According to the calculation, i need between 3 and 7 capsules a day. Is this correct? Also do i need to take them daily? My ferritin was 30 back in March but i know it's dropped as I'm feeling the effects and my hair is falling out

ferritin
hi, bloods back. My ferritin is 17. Even though I asked trans ferritin saturation not done. I think enough evidence with ferritin as it is to start taking iron tablets though. Should I push for a Trans ferritin saturation test? What value would it add? Thanks in advance
