This alert consisted of a pop-up window that was triggered when a serum T3 laboratory test was ordered for patients prescribed levothyroxine. The alert required user acknowledgement before the serum T3 laboratory test could be ordered.This alert consisted of a pop-up window that was triggered when a serum T3 laboratory test was ordered for patients prescribed levothyroxine.

Blood tests.

I’m having my TSH, Ft4,FT3 & reverse T3 blood test next week. I’m also having a cortisol blood test the next day. I know the cortisol has to be between 8-9am and fasting. Can I still take my levothyroxine the night before?I’m having my TSH, Ft4,FT3 & reverse T3 blood test next week. I’m also having a cortisol blood test the next day.

t3 results back from my endocrinologist

Hi all, today I have received a letter confirming the results of a nhs t3 test i had 10 days ago, it basically says my t4 was 14.8 and my t3 is 3.7 (it says this is slightly lower than the normal range which is 3.9 - 6.8 ) and that this would suggest i need more levo and should increase from 100mcgHi all, today I have received a letter confirming the results of a nhs t3 test i had 10 days ago, it basically says my t4 was 14.8 and my t3 is 3.7 (it says this is slightly lower than the normal range which is 3.9 - 6.8 ) and that this would suggest i need more levo and should increase from 100mcg

Graves, post THYROIDECTOMY. Lab tests.

Lab tests, how to take NP and T3 before test? I take 60 milligrams of NP thyroid and 25 micrograms of T3 at 9 in the morning. Should I take it the night before at 9 pm and then not in the morning before the test?Lab tests, how to take NP and T3 before test?

NDT - Anyone take with their Levo?. I had 7/8ths thyroid removed 30+ years ago.

Last thyroid bloods taken at GP surgery TSH 0.11 ( 0.30 - 5.50) T4 18.2 ( 11.5 - 22.7) As you can see no T3 test. I had Medichecks test in February 2019 which included T3 and the result for this was 4.41 ( 3.1 - 6.8).Last thyroid bloods taken at GP surgery TSH 0.11 ( 0.30 - 5.50) T4 18.2 ( 11.5 - 22.7) As you can see no T3 test.

So tired of this......

Requests that he do a T3 test are refused, ‘we don’t do that on the NHS.’ I argue that I feel well and don’t have any hypo symptoms but it falls on deaf ears.Requests that he do a T3 test are refused, ‘we don’t do that on the NHS.’ I argue that I feel well and don’t have any hypo symptoms but it falls on deaf ears.

Thyroid advice after TT

After research I understand that I need T3 too. They never test me for this. I’m getting fatter and more depressed by the day. Any recommendations please? Attached pic of recent results. Am I going to have to go private for this?After research I understand that I need T3 too. They never test me for this. I’m getting fatter and more depressed by the day. Any recommendations please?

Timings of Levo and T3 prior to testing

I know it’s 24 hours prior to the test for Levo and 8 to 12 for t3 but I generally take my morning meds about 4am (75 or 100 Levo and 10 mcg t3) and then another 10mcg t3 about 3pm. I intend to do the test on Tuesday around about 8.30am.I know it’s 24 hours prior to the test for Levo and 8 to 12 for t3 but I generally take my morning meds about 4am (75 or 100 Levo and 10 mcg t3) and then another 10mcg t3 about 3pm.

Hydrocortisone and Thyroid

October 2019 thyroid results T3 didn't test, T4 32.5, tsh 0.01. Levo reduced to 75 plus 20mg t3 and 12.5mg HC after this result. Tested again Jan 2020 T3 17.2 T4 38.8, tsh 0.01. Could the HC interfere with thyroid? My T4 has increased from reduction of Levo... Thanks. XOctober 2019 thyroid results T3 didn't test, T4 32.5, tsh 0.01.

New Results In!

I have the saliva test ready to go. I took half my T3 the day before the test and half before I went to bed. Took test first thing as always. Do you guys have any advice for me with regards to dosing moving forward? I was hoping I would notice an improvement as I know T3 works wonders for some.I have the saliva test ready to go.

When to take t3 before blood test on t3/t4 combo?

Hi everyone, I have a blood test tomorrow - my first on a combo t3/t4 dose and I am very confused about when to take t3. I know to stop levo 24hrs before but I have seen conflicting information about taking t3 - I currently take 10mcg split into two 5mcg doses one at 9am and one at 3.30pm.Hi everyone, I have a blood test tomorrow - my first on a combo t3/t4 dose and I am very confused about when to take t3.
