Slow release T3?
I have just been in contact with a nurse/doctor who says she has slow release T3 in 5mg tablets. Yes you read that right - 5MG!! One lick of that would probably kill me! She went on to ask how long I had been taking T3 as one should only take it for 6 weeks or else I could get permanent thyroid deficiency

Has anyone whose tried T3 and NDT felt better on just T4?
A little bit of history - thyroidectomy aged 21. More or less fine on just T4 for 20 plus years. I then saw an Endo about parathyroid issues in 2018 at which point he suggested ERFA because he felt lots of my symptoms were related to my thyroid and T3 conversion. Since then I’ve tried many different

At a loss and feeling ill
Went to Drs yesterday to request a referal to an endo, as I feel unwell, weak and wobbley - for well over a year now. I told him that I had paid for a private blood test to check my t3 levels, as the Nhs doesn't like doing them that often, and he totally refused to look at them. Said that, if theyre

Relatively unique to me, my body comes out in rashes when my lungs are struggling. The rashes can come out of nowhere and will often split my skin. In a couple of area's they have permanently changed my skin. I see a great dermatology consultant who said she's never seen anything like what i have.

Heavy legs and low energy feeling
My recent thyroid results showed a below range T3, and I have been having trouble with a brand of thyroxine and feeling generally unwell as previously posted with some helpful advice. But, I have a feeling of heavy legs and low energy and wondered whether when the T3 is low it can cause this? I am

Unable to source tiromel
I have been taking tiromel for a couple of years. I source it myself but see an endo privately for support and to help get my T4 from GP. My usual online pharmacy has been out of stock for a couple of months. Can anyone message me with a source of tiromel. My current stock is out of date.

Low TSH
Hi - I've got my 3rd lot of results from Medichecks since March which I will take to appointment with private Endo. Test taken fasting with no meds beforehand and at 8:55am I'm pleased with levels of folate, B12 and Vit D which I've worked on. Ferritin has gone down though. The T3 is low of course

Hi all, I got some private tests done (attached) and I have to say I’m surprised as they seem to point to me being hyperthyroid but have all the symptoms of hypo. Can someone explain to me please? Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious anaemia and am getting B12 injections off

Cannot get my TSH in range - help needed please, should I switch to levo?
Hello, I’ve been taking Thyroid-S NDT for 6+years and I’ve been trying to get my TSH to be close to range but cannot seem to get anywhere. I’ve tracked my ranges from 2022 and I’m still no closer. I’m nervous as when medichecks send my results they always say there’s higher risk of heart issues and osteoporosis

How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need

GP not doing regular thyroid bloods.
How often should gp do thyroid bloods please? My main thyroid problem is fatigue, it’s not there all the time, comes and goes. So, I would like them done every 8 weeks, as I try different combos of Levo, T3 and Thyroid S, till I feel better. However, mine doesn’t do anything at all until I chase her

My ‘thyroid journey’ has been an interesting one and now approaching its 4th year. I’m fairly convinced I don’t have autoimmune thyroid disease and relatively confident my adrenals play a big part in my symptoms, however it’s not just adrenals as I’ve tested myself on HC solo and it doesn’t work. Aaanyway

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Results since taking T3
I've just got my bloods back (protocols as per this forum followed). I am speaking to my endo at the end of Feb and would welcome some guidance please. I added T3 (continued with 75mcg Levo). First 2 weeks 5mcg x3 per day and then 10mcg x3 per day ever since. The first month on T3 was really encouraging

Puffiness/swelling whilst Hypo
Hi friends, I’ve been hypo (Hashi’s) since 2008 and have been on a journey to improving my health. T3 has really helped as has improving my diet. One thing I have noticed is that on some days I swell up across my body. This is noticeable when I put on my watch, wedding ring and trousers: everything
