DIO2 and when to ask for T3
Hello As a result of my last NHS blood test showing my T3 level dropping and Health Unlocked previously advising me that my conversion rate was low/poor, (and having Hashimoto’s and my brother testing positive for DIO2 (Homozygous) and being put on T3), I got myself tested and I also have the DIO2 gene

Blood Test Preparation
Finally, I managed to get another blood test appointment after the lab didn’t test my T3. I’d like to ensure I prepare properly. My appointment is at 8.30am on Wednesday 8th June. I take 75 mcg Eltroxin and 25 mcg liothyronine. I usually take the whole dose at 7 am. I also take vitamin D, B12 and

Mid back pain
I am diagnosed with Hashimotos for 15 years and I am on eltroxin and thybon. Recently I have started to experience mid back pain. Can this happen if not optimally treated?

Eltroxin
Hi all I hope you are all keeping well and healthy. I was writing to find out if anyone has had any experience with using eltroxin and how they’ve been able to source it. Over the last few months I’ve developed serious intolerances to the only brand of levothyroxine (accord) my body was able to tolerate

Hydration of Levothyroxine: Anhydrous vs. Pentahydrate

UK Thyroid Hormone Medicines
Given the concern about availability of Advanz/Mercury Pharma medicines (discussed elsewhere on the forum - https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/147892148/mercury-pharma-entered-administration-march-2022 ), I am posting the products that are licensed and, mostly, available.

Advice needed
My current dose is 25 mcg T3 and 75 mcg Eltroxin. I started taking T3 on 14th Feb and worked my way up every two weeks. After a bit, my voice came back - which was amazing! But now it’s going again. Does this mean I’m on too much or not enough? I’ll be having my six week blood test after my last increase

Now I'm worried
Morning I have been struggling since Nov 2021 with brain fog, fatigue, dreadful short term memory and awful bone/joint pain in shins/knees to the point I have to take pain killers which I hate.

Back to square one ….
I’m on 75 mcg Eltroxin and 12.5 mcg T3. I’m supplementing with B complex, B12 and vitamin D. I’m due to increase T3 again on Monday (two weeks after the last increase). I had been feeling much better lately but the last couple of days I’ve been feeling utterly exhausted. What could the problem be?

Different Brands of Levo
Good evening all 👋 Thanks to the excellent advice I have had from the group before, I always check my Levo boxes when I pick up my prescription. To date, over the past 10 years minimum, it’s always been Teva. This last prescription was 100mcg - Eltroxin and the 50 and 25 mcg - Northstar. (I’m on
