Experiences with

T3 test

Hi there. Moved to NI two years ago. The local GP won't prescribe anything other than T4 and won't refer to an endocrinologist. Does anyone in Belfast know an NHS or private endocrinologist who is open-minded to using T3 as a supplement to the T4 therapies? I'm feeling poorly and they just accept

[u]Last post I was on 150mcg, TSH 1.8, FT4 19 (11-23), and FT3 5.6 (3.4-5.9)[/u] - Still felt awful, coming down from 225mcg severe overmedcation - Based on the FT3, NEW DOC lowered to 137.5mcg (bodyweight dosage for me) - Prescribed Zoloft (was never anxious or depressed, and said this) - Many told

So, I've written before, and I started taking only T3. At about 100-125mcg per day all at once in the morning (bc my principal concern is my immune system. Also energy, etc). I went to the ER the other day bc of a bad reaction to Paxlovid, I had presumed covid (multiple close contacts, ie, my kids

I RECENTLY GOT MY REPORT. THE READING IS AS UNDER: TSH 2.15 T4 8.33 T3 73 I AM HAVING EDEMA ON LOWER LIMBS. IM NOW THYROXINE 75. PLEASE SUGGEST WHETHER I NEED TO CHANGE THE DOSE.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all feeling well today (and every day ideally, of course!). I started a trial of T3 ten days ago. I was prescribed x3 5mcg a day but after years of learning and a lot of reading on here, I decided to take it very slowly and have just been taking 2.5mcg on wake up with

I got issued "Strides Pharma UK Ltd" Liothyronine T3 20mcg for my last repeat T3 Only prescription a few days ago. I'm happy to say they work just as well for me as Morningside or Viatris Liothyronine T3. I'd never heard of Strides Pharma UK before. Thank You Helvella for your informative & helpful

Hey everyone, I like to post my latest round of bloods on here each time so people can give me a better insight into what’s happening surrounding my Hashimoto journey. My 13th December bloods were with me taking 175 mcg T4 only and the latest round of bloods is with me now taking 162.5 mcg T4 along

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

Can anyone help please? I was recently on 75mcg T4 and 20mcg of T3 but still felt low energy, dry skin, hair falling out, low mood etc. Doctor did a TSH and T4 test and then phoned me to reduce my T4 to 50mcg. My TSH was 0.023 and my T4 was 8.2. The reduction of T4 meds made me very ill, I crashed

I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

I told him that I had paid for a private blood test to check my t3 levels, as the Nhs doesn't like doing them that often, and he totally refused to look at them.

should I start eating a Brazil nut daily to increase selenium in an attempt to help my poor conversion issue (high t4, low t3 and high tsh)? Do you think it will help in anyway?

So I have bloods forms on first it says under clinical info, high prolactin,,,,T4 dose : na , and requests LFE LH& FSH & Oestradiol PROL2 Prolactin RP Renal Profile, TFT3 Thyroid Function Test, Second form under clinical info , hypothyroid on T3, On Steroids?

Sorry, I know I’ve posted a similar question before, but these are my latest results and I can’t tell if they’ve improved or not. My ft4 is up, is this good? But my ft3 is less… not good? I find the optimal % confusing. For reference I’m not currently on any medication and I’m gluten and dairy free

I will try and be short about my story. It is a snapshot of events whilst I was on Levothyroxine for more or less 25 yrs. I never felt well and was never referred to an endocrinologist. I gained weight, my hair thinned. I had problems not only with my voice, but swallowing food. I had brain fog, acute

GP wants to reduce levo, because my tsh was 0.008.I've increased my levo to 125 daily and still taking t3 5mcg in 3 doses. GP thinks I'm still on 75mcg.....I've sorted myself out using this forum and private blood tests and feel much better for it. My issue is, how do I explain this to my GP and would

Hi everyone 💘 It both angers me and saddens me to do this post😡😞 I took ALL my relive paperwork and evidence what synthetic thyroid medication is doing to my body especially my stomach and gut and as some on here will know I've been in this battle since my thyroidectomy in 2019 and being put on an

So I have decided to source T3 and don't know where to start. I am in Ireland and I would appreciate if those who are in the know could PRIVATE message me on where I might source it. Thanking you in advance
