Taking T3 privately
Hi there, After an interesting thread today highlighting I may need to add T3, I was wondering what sort of dose most people start with and what it costs. Do you take it at the same time as Levothyroxine? And can you get a synthetic form? TIA Ellie

Private Endo and T3
Hi all, I haven't posted in a few months as I've been waiting for a telephone appointment with a private endo. In the interim I've been taking my Levo only, alternating 125mcg and 112.5mcg and feeling OKish, but not brilliant, low energy etc.. Had total thyroidectomy 2 years ago. I had my private consultation

'Suppressed' TSH
I'm hoping that the kind and knowledgeable people on this forum can help... Every morning as I begin to stir, I feel a 'vibration' in my chest - this will wake me up. When I take my thyroid medication, the 'vibration' subsides after about 20 minutes. I did query this on this forum and was told that

Understanding test results and next steps please
Gosh, I hadn’t realised it was two years ago I asked you lovely lot for help. Sadly, I just struggled on with life, it’s like wading through treacle.I saw a chiropractor who asked if I have had my thyroid checked…I went to my gp surgery and saw the most compassionate locum. He sent me for thyroid blood

Help with adding levo to T3 only
Hi, I've been on T3 only for many years (62.5 mcg). I've switched from levo to T3 only in the time because I had an elevated rT3 and still hypo symptoms despite elevated dose. Every endo I've seen in the last years said I should go back levo because my T3 levels are through the roof. They don't seem

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

Heart rate, swollen tongue, can’t sleep. Hypo with Levo.
Please can someone advise me? I’ve been here before and I’m scared to go back to my doctor because I’m reliving the same rodeo I took back in 2019 when my private endo told me to stop taking Levo. I now cannot go private through my healthcare as all they will pay for is to completely remove my thyroid

Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?

Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a Levodopa/Carbidopa

Help Needed with my Levo Dose
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid at the end of last year. My GP started me on 50mcg levothyroxine. She increased this to 75mcg in March, then to 100mcg (at my request) in July. I've now been on that dose for 7 weeks and just took a private test (following the standard protocol) with MMH so that I know
