LFT Results - Help
I have had some tests done recently and I was expecting the liver would be an issue. I have been a heavy drinker for quite some time. I had full bloods done which were all fine. Electrolytes were also fine. The doctor said my LFTs were abnormal, I asked if it indicated Cirrhosis and he said he didn't

Hi Everyone Following on from my last post and medication change a couple of months ago I have now had my latest results. Test was taken at 8.30am with last meds taken 24hrs beforehand. I have been on 75mcg levothyroxine and reduced my T3 down to 25mcg p/wk (split into 2 x doses) as free T3 was over

How should Levo dosing work - a 101 explanation needed please
sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

What does T4 do?
I've been treated for 25ish yrs for hypothyroid & take T4 & T3 (self sourced.) My TSH is suppressed, which makes perfect sense to my non medical slightly addled brain. Of course my previous GP didn't like it and because I refused to stop my T3, slowly took away my T4. I've been dealing with B12d for

Endo changed meds - T3 only to T4/T3
For decades I've been on T3 only with various doses, for the last six years on 40mcg a day. I got called into the prescribing hospital yesterday & the head professor endo told me that I must change to 50mcg of T4 and 20mcg of T3 a day. I'm very nervous about how I will fare on that combination. This

Determined to get t4 & t3 tested by nhs
So, followed the different courses to pursue this issue. Finally found the right PALS to complain to. Explained to them all of how I have been stuck on a low dose of levothyroxine because my tsh was high normal. How the GP is blocked from even requesting a T4 test thus won't prescribe more. Quoted

Results Fine!
After years of having low vitamin levels and low end T4 results it appears all is now fine! Thank you to SlowDragon for suggesting private blood test.

Too much T3? One time. Does it make a difference?
Because of a change of dosage of liothyronine from 10 mcg 2 x daily plus 10mcg 1 x daily Mon, Wed, and Fri, To 20mcg 1 x daily and 10mcg 1 x daily, I was given a completely different brand. Originally given Roma capsules, then following dosage change, Mercury Pharma tablets as well as Roma capsules
