Why do I suddenly feel terrible but still taking Armour?
I have been happy as a clam and able to function and be part of the world since I started Armour two grains a day in Sept 2022. This was after a year on levo that did nothing for me. Around Xmas 2023, I started feeling sluggish and constipated. Bloods were done mid Feb through my private thyroid doctor

I have appt booked with endocrinologist re my low T3 level, what should I be pushing for? Advice for best outcome from this consultation.

T3 too high?
Hi all, Last time I had my thyroid levels checked I followed the protocol of taking half my Armour dose the night before my tests. The blood test was done at 9am and all was in range. This time my endocrinologist specifically asked me to have my blood tests two hours after taking my normal Amour dose

I have had an underactive thyroid for 30 years. My Levothyroxine dose is now 100mcg daily and was reduced from the 125 mcg during the pandemic after I lost 3 stones in weight. I have never been given my full annual thyroid test results in the past but they have now been made accessible online. When

Hopefully getting closer to just a bit more tweaking...?
Right, over the speed bump that happened around Feb. After speaking to endo, reduced Levo to 50mcg and am back up to 5mcg x3/ day T3. I have been feeling more stable and a bit more alert, more energy for about 4 weeks. Just recently started slowing down again, sluggish bowels, cold intolerance, dry skin

Add more t4 and quit t3 ?
I just got my test results back , I'm on levothyroxine 75mcg/ 5 days a week and 100mcg 2/days a week. I also take 3mcg of Cytomel. My body can't handle a higher dose of Cytomel. It makes me very anxious. I am wondering if I should go back to T4 only, maybe a bit more? (I must add that there were

Thoughts on test results
This is my first post. I’ve been avidly reading back through past information and found it very empowering - I’ve been inspired to take control of my health. I’ve just had results back from a Medichecks thyroid panel and would appreciate your thoughts. Full information about my history and symptoms

TSH remains suppressed
So, been taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Liothyronine for years, but recently lost some weight, and started randomly throwing up. Blood tests at Dr showed,T4 19.9 (11-23) TSH <0.01 (0.27-4.5) So wanting to feel better, I reduced the t3 to 6.25mcg, and levo to 100mcg Nurse practitioner agreed to check

Going back to the gp.. one year on
So one year after my first blood test I’m going to go back to my gp to ask for a ‘second’ (more like 10th) opinion, I’m under medicated 25mcg levothyroxine, still symptomatic and fed up! I’m going back to the gp, basically demanding a dose increase and citing the research to support it. (My latest results

So still can't get Sneaky GP to put my repeat px Levo back to 150 mcg daily. She also refuses to remove or edit records where she wrongly entered that I agreed to reduction to 125mcg daily. I have had lengthy discussions re this. She is fixated on TSH and keeps trying the you'll get cancer, heart

How to prepare for my thyroid test?
Hi all, I’m on the following routine and wondered what I should do with my thyroid medication the day before the test: First dose: 3am - 125mcg Levo, 5mcg - T3 Second dose: 11am - 2.5mcg T3 I will do the test around 8am ensuring I’ve only had water. So should I NOT take the 11am T3 dose the day

Update on my daughter's GP call today. So angry.
I'm so angry but not surprised. I didn't expect much tbh. My daughters last Vitamin results from 2022 were B12 290, Ferritin 24, folate 9.2 & Vit D 39. She been on thyroxine since a teenager now in her 40's. TSH levels fluctuating all over the place for past 6 years. Well the GP called today
