I cannot trust my GP
I have had a GP for 8 yrs who used to categorize everything as depression or anxiety or uncurable or everyone gets it. I used to have gut issue and my GP would just tell me that is normal thing. And I should change my diet I had given up on NHS. I had stopped visiting my GP altogether. However

Enid has told me T3 will shorten my life
At my recent endo appointment, the Professor looked at me over the top of his spectacles and said, ‘if the blood test comes back right, I’m happy for you to stop taking the trial of T4 ‘(which I was coerced into taking) “and go onto 3 x day T3, 10mcg. You do realise it’s as clear as barn doors staring

Help with NAFLD good foods
Hi Everyone, new to this forum. I would like to see a dietician but suspect I would be turned down on the NHS. Do people eat certain foods that they know are good for the liver? I have diabetes too and struggle to keep everything on an even keel. I don't eat alot of meat, more fish and veg. If I eat

Lab Cut Backs (blood testing)!
I've read on here numerous times about people being refused T3 tests because "we're not allowed to test that any more" etc etc. Clearly appalling when trying to get a full picture of what's going on with your thyroid. I've just spoken to the GP about some other blood tests I'm having done tomorrow (

Comprehensive CKD and healthy Diet app
If you are aware of any reputable comprehensive apps to help track food intake for CKD patients. I would love a recommendation. Kidney diet tracking is complicated and it would be invaluable to have a toolset for those of us trying to implement dietary changes that are comprehensive. By comprehensive

Dr Richard Pope
Hi all. My T4-T3 conversion is rubbish, and I have had to slightly reduce my Levo to get my T4 back down into the range. Symptoms are now coming back, and I’m really fed up. I really need T3. I was wondering if anyone had any experience/feedback regarding Dr Richard Pope who is based in Bingley, West

would you add more T3?
hi all, I’ve just got my latest results back, 12 hours between T3 last meds and test (26 hours for T4). I’m on 20mcg of T3 (10mcg in the morning, 5 at lunch and then 5 at bed), I’m on 75mcg of Levo. I don’t have the rough feeling anymore like I used to, but still weight resistance, tired in the late

having bloods taken for Thyroid
I have my appointment at 8.40am for my bloods , is it best to take my thyroxine after my blood test. Or should I take it in the night. I have stopped my Biotin and Vitamin b complex for a couple of weeks. I only have this blood test annually so I want the best test results.

Advice re first blood tests after adding in T3

Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Low Ferritin and raised Iron
I have always struggled to get my ferritin levels up. I’m into nutrition so eat the right stuff, including meat daily and have eaten liver pate until I’m sick of the sight of it! Ferritin was 30’s-40’s (30-200) and I thought I’d try a 14 mg iron supplement and it has raised to a record high of 57!

Reducing T3 - please help me understand
Hi all, I am baffled with my situation. I would be so grateful for any ideas. First, after being extremely sick for over 5 years I was finally diagnosed with mold exposure early in 2023 and now being treated by a top specialist at Cleveland Clinic in the US. Making progress. This doc warned me

anyone have achy legs
I’m learning so much from reading everyone’s posts. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out what is going on with my legs. I know I have a component of RLS as my legs feel like a “current” is running through them when I am sitting for long periods, watching Tv in evenings and laying in bed.

What is my status
Please could someone clarify this for me as had an overactive thyroid which was knocked out with RAI. I am Thyroxine which, thank goodness, has stabilised me so that I am Euthyridic (sp) however there are the occasional flareups of eye problems associated with Throid Eye Disease. What I am really confused

Antibiotics and exhaustion
Could anyone confirm if antibiotics affect thyroid function? I take thyroxine at present and recently completed a two week course (two weeks ago on Tuesday). I took the first dose in the morning, an hour away from thyroxine as I couldn’t wait the two hours required due to timings through the day for

Blood test units different
For years my thyroid blood test results have used the same units so, Free T4 pmol/L range 12 - 22 Free T3 pmol/L range 3.1 - 6.8 I have just received results with different units, so they won't fit into my spreadsheet. Free T4 ng/dL range 0.93 - 1.71 Free
