Experiences with

T3 test

She finally agreed to do a T3 test and that has come back as 1.2 nmol/l ("normal"). According to the reference range, the bottom of T3 normal is 1.1, so I wouldn't call it great.

Hello 👋🏼 So I had Monitor my Health an interim test after 6 weeks on 75mcg levo and 10mcg lio. I know it’s still early days but I feel pants and wanted to just see what they were. I will do a Medichecks one in 4 weeks time. I think it explains things for the moment though. Does anyone agree/disagree

Hi, my endo has asked me to get a reverse T3 test alongside other thyroid and vitamin tests from Medichecks, but I can’t find one from Googling. Any ideas? (He wasn’t sure Medichecks did this test, and if not it wasn’t essential.) Thanks.

I would like to start any supplements needed but am going to order a private fingerprick test to check T3. Should I wait until I’ve done T3 test before starting supplements?

I am also doing a reverse T3 test as my meds don’t seem to be working as well these days so if any of you source T3 without a prescription can you let me know your source and cost (PM only please) as I have always thought I could have a conversion problem.

The way to know if you are pooling is to get a reverse t3 test. The lowest 3 numbers of a rt3 are in the normal range. Rt3 comes from the t4 hormone which is why patients who are on t4 only therapy are more prone to getting it.

My GP does not test my T3 levels but say my TSH and T4 levels are fine and there is nothing more they can do - totally fed up- any advice? Thank you in advance.

Dr does not test t3

TSH 2.77 T4 14.7 Thyroid antibodies 377 (My last T3 test was 12 months ago 3.5) Just wondered if I was on correct dosage and if the T3 was normal? Gp never tells me anything. I know I’m Hashimotos. Feel tired all the time and gaining weight on a healthy diet. Thanks everyone

They also requested a T3 test but the lab didn’t test it so I have no recent T3 test to go off this time which is extremely annoying. Here are my latest results with any previous results.

Last Dr stated possible combination treatment for the t3 however needs t3 test first. So what's considered normal range? Kind regards

Hi. Just looking to order more blood tests, going though previous 1, i have noticed prior to taking levo my t3 was > 5.24. (3.1.- 6.8) no levo Taking levo 4.95 (. As above) August 2020 4.38. (as above). January 2021 4.61. ( As above) March 2021 Is it normal for t3 to decrease

She's been routinely dismissed over the past several years by her doctors, at one point she had a T3 test which she was told was in 'normal range', which this latest test show isn't the case. Her CRP seems very high, which could be linked to a recent bacterial infection, but I'm not sure.

(similar symptoms to my first diagnosis) I requested a T3 test (waiting results) I'm feeling like I'm drunk most of the day, or some kind of hangover, any advice?

Can anyone tell me if I should stop my T3 24 hours before this test.. Thanks everyone ❤️❤️❤️

Currently taking: 3 x metavive 2 50mcg T3.

My new GP agreed to ask for a T3 test but thought the lab would not do it, and indeed it has not been done. Is it correct that it's difficult to test for T3 as you need to do it immediately or the T3 cannot be measured?

My question is, do I get another NHS blood test to see if more Levo is needed, or do I go private to get a T3 test? I know I’ll need a T3 test at some point, but I don’t want to pay for a test if six weeks later I’ll need to test again.

I will test my t3 tomorrow or next week. How shall I read my test?

My doctor has never even suggested there is anything untoward with my thyroid and I would be grateful if any of you knowledgeable people could advise on what to say to my doctor TSH 7.5 (0.4-5.5) T4 13.0 (11-26) no t3 test B12 504 (190-910) Ferritin 100 (10-291) Folate 3.5 (3.9-26.8)
