Possible Overmedication Woes
I switched to T4/T3 combo in December, I'm self sourcing Tiromel. I was at that point taking 200mcg of Levo, felt okish but felt T3 could be higher it was 5.2 on a range of 3.1-6.8. This was a private test in October. I didnt want to add more Levo so following advice decoded to try some T3. Added 6.25mcg

Increased!! Cel…e…brate…good times c’mon!!
OMG!!! Oh happy day!! Had my second opinion phone call with GP…lovely lovely lady doctor (the gp who started me on levo with no problem…did not alter my prescription (75mcg) when my tsh went below range). She listened, she had empathy, she said she had no problem with me trying an increase from 75 to

Determined to get t4 & t3 tested by nhs
So, followed the different courses to pursue this issue. Finally found the right PALS to complain to. Explained to them all of how I have been stuck on a low dose of levothyroxine because my tsh was high normal. How the GP is blocked from even requesting a T4 test thus won't prescribe more. Quoted

Kidneys and Hashimotos
Hi all, I am waiting for an endo appt in June to see if I need to go into Levo or T3. I get kidney pain in the morning after eating sugar/carbs the night before, which I am attempting to minimise. Can I ask if anyone has had the same thing, and if so, whether they have seen improvements after going

Help please
Further to my previous posts, after consultation with Roseway Labs last week the Pharmacist increased my t3 to 10ug daily (previously prescribed 5ug by Endo). I had reduced levo to 75ug from 100ug as last bloods showed T4 at very high end of the range even though I had been on T3 for the previous 10

T3 side effects
Good morning, I have recently started T3 (around 7 weeks ago). I was prescribed 10mcg daily alongside 62.5mcg of Levo. After the first week I dropped the dose to 5mcg due to palpitations. I increased back up to 10mcg 3 weeks later. In the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing a lot of joint

Extreme fatigue. Any solution?
This is wiping me out. Honestly. It tends to start at about 5 pm and lasts for about 2/3 hours. I used to take Whey protein to counter it but this appears to not hit the spot. I’m utterly exhausted when this phenomenon strikes and am wondering if anyone has any ideas? I take B1 daily (Superior Source

Stopping Levothyroxine after 17 days?
Just to seek some advice and insights from the knowledgeable forum fellows. I have be subclinical hypothyroid for over ten years (unaware until recently). I had some health issues and a form of extreme fatigue developed between February and March. It was unbearable and I went mental enough to hassle

Hyper or Hypo?!
Good morning, I am not going to rewrite my entire story as it’s in my bio, but basically I was diagnosed as hyperthyroid approx six weeks ago and commenced on 20mg Carbimazole daily. I tested positive for TPO’s but neg for TRAB. I was symptomatic of hyperthyroidism. I have just had my bloods redone

Poor GP response for years!
Hello. First time poster here Long story short I have been taking Levothyroxine for around 8 years and within this time I have had a constant battle with my GP to manage my symptoms. Unfortunately I have found that it does depend on which GP you get as to whether they will increase Levothyroxine.

tsh ‘suppressed’ but I want to stay on 125mcg levo. Thoughts?
Morning all! Just had results back from gp thyroid panel (so only tsh and t4). 23rd April Tsh: 0.2 (range 0.27-4.2) T4: 15.9 (10.5-24.5) I’d asked for an increase in levo from 100-125mcg and had been taking the increased dose for around 10 weeks when I had this test. Here are my previous results
