Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood
test
on Thursday AM and am taking
T3
. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

How to get an accurate T3 reading with bloods?
If I then take
T3
and did a blood
test
a few hours later, then obviously the
T3
reading will be pretty high (which it has been from previous tests done like this) So Im just wondering, whats the best time take a blood
test
to get a reading for
T3
?

T3 24 hours before Test
My last tests I took my T4 &
T3
, 24 hours before
test
, by mistake. Madness! After the
test
I added an additional 6.25mcg
T3
. Only just realised as my insulin resistance has kicked in massively. Tests- Otherwise, fasting yes, no biotin.

Hypothyroid all the symptoms, med reduced...
But have spoken to another doctor who said I hadn't had a
T3
test
for 3 years so she would add that to tests booked for 28th of this month. Asking advice as just feel can't go on like this. Have been sticking to 75ug as otherwise results won't be right. Sorry so long. Hope I can sleep :-(

I finally got my dr to do a free T3 test. what do these results mean
Free T4 17.8 normal range 11.9 - 21,6 Free T3 3.5 normal range 3.1 - 6.8 TSH. 0.92. Normal range 0.27 - 4.2 I feel like I’m not converting thyroxine but is this what the results are saying?

is this subclinical hypothyroidism?
I managed to persuade my GP that I have symptoms of hashimotos and to humour me a TSH
test
, T4 /
T3
and anti TPO blood
test
was done.

Poorly controlled hypothyroidism and a susceptibility to viral infections.
My
T3
was on 19% on my most recent
test
. In the space of a few months I’ve had almost every virus . I’ve had flu A RSV and now Covid with very high temperatures. Before I started this journey on levothyroxine I was never ill rarely had anything at all.

Thyroid test for children?
Hi there, I would like to get my 13 year old daughter tested for any thyroid problems as a precaution starting with a basic T4 &
T3
test
as she is finding it difficult to concentrate in class and seems more lethargic. I think Medichecks will only accept samples for patients 18 or over…?

Introduction and help navigating our NHS for Thyroid hormone replacement. Tips and support needed as it's a very tricky business.
They've reluctantly agreed to
test
T3
this time!!! Hoping to get somewhere but I don't know where to he honest. Will I get an endo referral? Will it take aeons? Will an NHS endo care about these ranges? (all in the normal range) or will I have to find a private endo?

Time of last T3 dose before blood test?
Hi all, quick question. If having an early morning, fasting blood test to include full thyroid panel, lipids etc. What time should the last dose of T3 be? Morning, Lunchtime or 3pm? TAI

Can years-old injuries rear their heads when undermedicated?
I’m currently on 9mcg of
T3
. I was due to
test
this week but I realised that I’d forgotten to stop taking biotin & now Christmas is going to delay things further. Any insights into under medication and pain will be gratefully received 🙏

T3 Dosage
Hi everyone My GP referred me to endocrinology. They called me a few weeks ago & suggested I lower my dose of T3 , I take 75mcg of cytomel. I was advised to take 50mcg. I asked the reason why. He said it was because t3 has long term effects of osteoporosis. I feel like 75mcg is the perfect dose

T3 Dose Help
I'm due to see an endocrinologist privately tomorrow for the first time. I've been on levo for 13 years after a TT for ThyCa. I've never taken T3 so I'll be asking to try it since I've felt rubbish for 13 years! So my question is what kind of dose of T3 would I expect to take initially? I'm on 150mg
