Experiences with

T3 test

I’m asking this for a friend who just got her blood results. Her TSH was below 2 and T4 was high in range which I know is good. I don’t know much about T3 her result for T3 was 4.10 and range is 3.10 to 6.80 so can someone tell me if this is good. She is on levothyroxine only.

I have no natural thyroid as it was destroyed 40+ years ago after I went Hyperthyroid afyer my second child was born and diagnosed with Hashimotos and put onto Levothyroxine .I I can say is that those years were dreadful, my GPs kept changing the dose, I was exhausted all the time, so they upped the

Hi everyone ❤️ Update on visit to gp yesterday, firstly I will say she was one of the most down to earth gps I've ever seen👍 she had all my information to hand, she'd obviously done her homework which is rare with some , if not all gps today. I took my roseway information and tablets [ NDT] with me

I am talking to my dr today to se if maybe I should try Levo and source my own T3 ! I Only as a back up just in case I end up in hospital ! I have been on NDT for years ! As I know nothing about the brands in this country , I only know it did not work for me in the USA ! Please can you PM me with your

Hi These are my latest blood results and am thinking I need to decrease my Levo dose. I am taking 125/100 alternate days, My last blood results indicated that I needed to decrease my T3, from 15 to 10 which I have done, but now my T4 has gone up. Could anyone advise what my next step is. I’m not

Hi everyone ❤️ A gp as just rang asking me to see her today at 4.45, I have no doubt this is in relation to the letter I wrote to the practice manager in the awful treatment I have received by the surgery concerning synthetic thyroid medication they have been pushing on me the last 5 years. I think

I'm fairly new to this. I got a Hashimoto's diagnosis at the beginning of the year and started on Levo in January. My TSH wasn't massively high (6.3) but I have symptoms so they agreed but started me on a really low dose of 25mcg. I recently increased to 50mcg and have just had my bloods to review

Hi All - I've been following advice on supplements and timing of tests but NHS has problems with results and need advice as what to do - I take Armour NDT with Levo. Haven't had a conversation with them about it, changing practices and moving back to the states for a period of time but will be back

Hi, does anyone else get headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy? I have read the side effects leaflet and it states that 'headache' and 'insomnia' are two of the side effects; since I have been on T3 only I often wake up in the night and have a very light sleep compared to what I am used to, then

I've been on combination Levo and Armour for 20 years or so and well since 2016 when and NHS endo sorted out the levels and backed NHS prescribing Armour. On Monday the Armour was removed from my repeat script. I moved 2 years ago and the new GP's have written the script because I have the backing

Below are my results from last week on 2 grains of armour for about 3 weeks, reduced to 1 for about 2 weeks then half for another 2. I reduced because I felt really unwell. I stopped entirely for 4 days and yesterday I took 50mcg of Levo. I feel like I’m on a stimulant. I’m not complaining as up until

Help with labs tsh 5.450T3 2.13 T4 1.17

I have a medichecks test booked for Monday to do tsh/t4/t3 as I have been convinced this could give me answers. Now... Could you please elaborate on how it works that tsh can be normal but t4 might possibly be low (and t3 too, I guess, but one thing at a time).

I have been on the same dose of T4 and T3 for the last 7 months ( T4: 82mcg and T3:22.5 mcg). I was then diagnosed with ADHD end of April and started taking Lisdexamfetamine plus electrolyte supplements. (Magnesium citrate, plus : Electrolyte complex - Ingredients: Calcium salts of orthophosphoric

please help me with this wretched problem we have with doctors and medical specialists regarding low TSH. I am having some help from a medical herbalist who, on seeing my thyroid blood test results, has got quite stroppy and insisting my TSH should be higher , and I should lower my thyroid medication

I previously posted requesting any recommendations for a local endo and totally understand why this was shut down but thought it would make more sense to ask a separate question for the second part of my post. It’s now about 10 years since I last saw an endocrinologist and have been managing my thyroid

Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me whether it’s possible for T3 to simply ‘not agree’ with me? I’ve posted here before and got lots of great advice. My numbers previously showed me mid range through all the thyroid numbers but not converting well to T3. I was advised to take selenium and zinc
