High TSH on Levo
She said to repeat the
test
in two months. I recently came off
T3
(end of Jan) that I was sourcing myself after being told it caused a heart attack (I’ve posted before). It was <0.005 then. Is the high TSH a sign that I’m not converting T4 to T3 or just that I need more T4 due to high BMI?

testing protocol on T4 and T3
Hi all. Does anyone have any experience/wisdom re a good time to take T3 pre bloods? I currently take it when I wake up which is between 6.20 and 7.30 and in the afternoon between 3.30 and 4.30. I have a first test since starting combined therapy booked and am wondering when I should take what.

looking for answers about thyroid and adrenal
I have very low cortisol all day from four point saliva test and suffering from adrenal fatigue. I’m on thyroid medication as well. Also, on bio identical hormones , progesterone 225 mg. I feel hypothyroid and my Free T3 is low. I waited for a couple of months to treat adrenal but cortisol level

any clues?
I posted recently about starting Thybon. I’m back with another post , feeling very despondent. My t3 was 2.6 (3.1-6.8) while t4 was about 17. (12-22) It was suggested I start slow and add 5 initially to the 112 eltroxin dose and increase when tolerated to 10. I began and although my energy lifted

Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

Why should ft4 be at a certain percentage through reference range (mid to upper) when on T4/T3 combination therapy when T4 is inactive?
As per the subject title, if ft4 is inactive, then why do some people on T4/T3 therapy only feel good if their ft4 level is at the mid/upper level despite the fact their ft3 (active form) may be at a optimal level? Or if they are not feeling well, why are they advised to increase their Levo dosage if

Belligerent, sneering GP
A refusal to even
test
FSH,
T3
or T4 for monitoring purposes. A expressed opinion that needing B12 more than once every three months to top up is “ridiculous” and 201 ng/l was more than adequate … and as to me injecting every day well … eyes rolled and rolled and rolled.

T3 in Poland?
Hi, I'm off to Krakow tomorrow for dental work and suddenly wondered if T3 is available in Poland and if so, if otc? What would it be called. I have tried doing a search but found nothing. Thanks.

Question re Private Only Endo
If you see a Consultant privately that doesn’t do NHS work is he able to recommend medication for me to my Gp? I do currently get T4 & T3 but need to see another Endo but he only does private work.

Dr Richard Pope
Hi all. My T4-T3 conversion is rubbish, and I have had to slightly reduce my Levo to get my T4 back down into the range. Symptoms are now coming back, and I’m really fed up. I really need T3. I was wondering if anyone had any experience/feedback regarding Dr Richard Pope who is based in Bingley, West

Dr added more T3 and labs show no change, what happened?
I just got my blood
test
results back and my
t3
is the EXACT same. I don't understand, how can I add T3 and it does nothing? Can someone please help me? Why is my body not raising my levels? My reverse t3 went down and my antibodies so that should have raised it up too and it didn't.

Lactose intolerant
I am changing from Armour Thyroid to synthetic T4 and T3, due to cost and that a local Endo has agreed to this on the NHS. However I’m super sensitive to lactose and the hospital pharmacy are dithering about finding lactose free options. Does anyone know which brands are lactose free please?

Muscle pain relief through thyroid meds
I have a torn cartilage and osteoarthritis in my left hip. At night I have pain in my hip and back but after I take my T4 and T3 tablets the pain dissipates. Has anyone else experienced this? Or have any ideas about the mechanisms involved? Thanks in advance.

Am I over medicated?
My Free T4 always comes up low. I understand from this grp that this means I am over medicated. I do not feel over medicated, but am I doing myself long term damage? I currently take 45mgs of NDT & an extra 12.5mcgs of T3. (In one dose) each day. (& supplements) Thanks in advance.
