Central hypothyroidism, is my thyroid working at all? Pituitary Does not produce TSH, so does Synthroid make it work
I’m not using anything but
Synthroid
, noT3F. I’m sweating again, not sleeping , and am getting worse each day. Meeting with chief endo in September 11. Help! What do you think? Thank you so much for your help! Teresamarie

Continue medication maybe Adrenal fatigue
I tried to increase slowly but was getting very hypo so I went back to
Synthroid
. And if this plays out like the last time, even the
Synthroid
will make me ill for months until things settle down.

Central hypothyroidism and T3 levels ignored by endo. Do I need T3? Help!
I asked for brand name
Synthroid
in early August 2019. Big difference ! Sweating stopped almost immediately and now able to sleep at least a few hours. I will meet with endo this week. What should o say about T3? Do I need that supplemented? Here are my levels as I have them.

High t3, having hyperthyroidism symptoms. Not fun
And it seems like my body doesn’t like the short half life of T3 anymore, go back to
synthroid
? Insurance covers brand name. Thx all and have a great day!!

T3 levels keep fluctuating/ armour
First two years I was just on
synthroid
, which lead to hypothyroidism because of absorption issues. Now on combo of armour and
synthroid
. Just armour leads to a low T4.

Synthroid taste sweet?
Is it normal for
synthroid
125 mcg pill to taste sweet? It’s raising my bg by 30 points after an hour of taking it.

T3 insomnia
I have been taking my T3 and
Synthroid
at 2 am since my stomach is empty and so I can eat breakfast, take my supplements and have a cappuccino at 8 am. I had insomnia prior to starting T3. I see that T3 lasts 8 hours. I never feel sluggish during the day.

Treating both AFib and Thyroiditis
The endocrinologist was hesitant to put me on
Synthroid
for fear of it aggravating my Afib. We are however trying me on a very low dose 12.5 mcg daily. Has anyone here experienced being treated for these conditions concurrently? If so, how is it working out for you?

Central hypothyroidism and out of control Help me please!
Another thing is that doc is changing script from levo to name brand
Synthroid
. Will this help? Doc felt it might. I’m up for anything. Supposedly it’s better for hypo that’s pituitary based. Here’s my recent results. No longer test T3 as it is always extremely low, told I just don’t make it now.

TBG, Reverse T3 & SHBG Issues - What Does This Mean?
Being desperate, I have taken some of my mother's
Synthroid
and a friends DT. So on 12.5 mg of
Synthroid
and about the same of the DT - I get revved up - sweating, shaking, diarreah etc. These meds do not seem to help - yes I know these were tiny, tiny does, but I felt worse.

New Lab Results Including Low Iron
Though the numbers would suggest the former is the better route, I am wondering what the effect of my low iron is on my thyroid hormone levels, the efficacy of my
Synthroid
and Liothyronine, and conversion. If I try 125mcg T4 with 5mcg T3, would increased iron help covert more T4 to T3?
