Reducing T3 - please help me understand
Hi all, I am baffled with my situation. I would be so grateful for any ideas. First, after being extremely sick for over 5 years I was finally diagnosed with mold exposure early in 2023 and now being treated by a top specialist at Cleveland Clinic in the US. Making progress. This doc warned me

Started new thyroid medication Mon 😡
Sorry everyone but this is going to be a rant.... As many members will know I stopped taking my thyroid medication on January 31st because the incompetent endo put me back on teva, which I certainly don't get on with (gastric side effects amongst other side effects) Through my surgeon in Liverpool for

T4 only in Levothyroxine?
I have just watched Dr Berg on youtube and he asks where are we getting T1 and T2 from in this medication? He suggests Armour but can we get it in the UK? Seemingly T1 and T2 are used to make calcitonin to keep our bones strong so this is worrying.

Starting T3 combination trial
Morning all.Thanks everyone for your reply! I haven't started the combination yet. After 3 trips to the pharmacy, they didn't have 85mcg thyroxine, so they reduced to 75mcg! The dose of T3 is 5mcg once daily. I do feel set up to fail. I'm still have the classic hypo symptoms, (and more!) despite T4 in

Cytomel sleep starts?
I started taking Cytomel six months ago. I had more energy and occasionally woke up several times in the night or had trouble sleeping. Around two months ago, 2 to 3 times a week. Every time I start dozing off I am suddenly woken with a start. My heart starts racing, my arms, neck and face feel tingly

Haemolysis
Sent for Monitor my Health blood
test
for TSH,
T4
+T3. Sent 1st thing Tues am. Only got a response Thurs pm to say test received. Could the delay by Royal Mail have resulted in Haemolysis? My first test in May went thru no probs, other than getting enough blood.

Roseway labs
Do Roseway Labs request GP details and ask to write to them? Also, if I request T3, will they need proof that I am taking T4? If so, what proof do they require and how do I submit it? My last blood test was 7 weeks ago, is this too far away if this is what is required? I would be grateful for information

Thyroxine dose reduced without my knowledge
Hello, I have been hypothyroid for around 15 years. For the past few years I've been taking 100mgs of Levothyroxine every day. I collected my usual repeat prescription for various medications a few days ago, and my Levo was missing. I queried it with the pharmacist, who told me my doctor had cancelled

So new results.
It was a
test
. My results: TSH: 4.1 (0.3-4.4)
T4
15.1(11-22) T3 wasn’t tested but is usually in a good range for thyroid.

Self medicating
Hi all, I am going to retest my thyroid and vitamin levels in a couple of weeks after 6 weeks of a dose increase from 125 to 150 mcg of levo. I'm anticipating my t4 being high in range and my t3 levels being low as I still have many unresolved symptoms. My previous post a month ago showed that I'm

: two blood tests - 10 and 12 depending on lab range. (Was 15 in 2014 when I already had symptoms).This is within UK range. I have argued that I think 10/12 is too low for me. *Damaged thyroid gland on ultrasound. (Waiting for radiologist's report to find out more).

Timing of blood test
Is it possible for advice on a blood test I have at 11.30 am tomorrow. I am unable to get an earlier one. Would it be okay for this one time as long as I don’t take the thyroxine tablet and no food beforehand? I am having quite bad palpitations and did not want to wait until next Thursday which is
