T3 test

Hi Can anyone recommend me where to get one of the above test kits please? Also, has anyone had Reverse T3 test done and if so, where did you buy the test? I know it's controversial on here, but nevertheless, if you know where they are available I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Finally got a T3 test from my GP. I had a difficult appt explaining to a professional why I'd like FT3, not TT3.

Hi - I'm looking for the cheapest and easiest way to get a Reverse T3 test in the UK, preferably as a fingerprick test at home. I usually use Medichecks for my thyroid testing but they've stopped doing the Reverse T3 test.

They are from a friend who has just had a private test: 'Had a private thyroid T3 test, results came back as follows: TSh .......?.........

Good morning all 😊 I am planning to re-start T3, but have been told that if I wish to to an adrenal test, then best befote starting T3. Can anyone tell me the best test company to use and the most reliable test? Many thanks

Hi everyone Thank you to everyone who responded to my post re tingly feet and functional neurological disorder! Had appointment with Dr this afternoon. She wants to refer to neurology for a nerve conduction test and "a few other things" didn't ask about the other things. I might have cried! I said

No T3 test has been offered, but fT4 is within normal range [11.0 - 23.0] and am not sure what this means. Would like a full test done and to get some advice from an endocrinologist who at least shows some interest and is knowledgeable about all types of treatment not just Levo.

Here's my latest test report results- T3 Total- 0.87 T4- Total- 5.88 TSH- 5.09 What is wrong with my thyroid gland? Are the numbers normal? What should I do? Pls suggest.

I want to have a full thyroid test, including reverse T3. Can anyone advise who to go with and what I need to include please. I am in UK Thank you

This is my first blood test on a T4/T3 combo. I’ve read through some previous posts on this and just want to check I have it right. I take 50mcg T4 and 10mcg T3 split into two doses normally. I take T4 and 5mcg T3 on waking and 5mcg T3 a few hours afterwards. Blood test is booked for 8.40am.

I know that the GP won’t test t3 so I did a test with monitor my health and these are the results. Can anyone tell me if it’s ok? I still feel rubbish really but GP says my results are normal. Any help at all I would be so appreciative. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻X

Help, When to take T3 meds before test? I am having a free T3 test tomorrow They seem to think I am on too much T3. I thought that testing t3 was pointless when on T3 because of the variability of the levels in the system.

(Gp also said she would test T3, which she hasn’t)

This what Medichecks advises when doing an advanced thyroid test: ‘If you are taking a T3 containing medication take your test in the hour prior to your dose of medication.’ Why do they advise this? From what I read on here this is not correct?

Hi can any recommend any private practitioners to interpret and prescribe t3 if needed. I’m thinking of arranging home test kit, and was wondering how to move foward after get results.

The answer he gave me is that there is an "active T3" test, and the T3 is in a form that will enter the cells (it is believed I may have receptor blockage) and that is what some thyroid specialists use. He could not remember the company doing it. Does anyone know of an active T3 test.

It also shows T3 levels which the NHS doesn't seem to test. The last time I did this sort of personal test was last year with medichecks. However about finger pricking so I bought the venous extraction where you go to a clinic. Are the finger prick tests easy to do.

How long should you wait after changing your t3 dose to check blood levels?

I have no idea what my bloods should be, my GP wont test Free T3 How can they tell I don't need it My hair still falls out and lost some of my eyebrows, I would be grateful for any info Hope you can read this attachment

Hi guys, I have attached my last thyroid test. I have asked to be checked for the T3 but I was declined, non sure why. Apparently my antibody are raised. No idea what does mean. Can you please feedback?
