change of meds.
so I’ve been on levo for 15 years and have hashimotos . Around 3 years ago I was added t3 too. I still feel awful and would like my GP to change my levo to a different brand maybe? As all my symptoms seem to be inline with my levo and the side effects. Has anyone had success with this ? I would really

How to share MPs response on Healthunlocked.
I recently write to my MP about the cost of T3. He posed two questions to the Govt. and I think people here might like to see them but I'm not sure how to share them. Any hints gratefully received as I really do no want to type them.

Best Private Endo and/or Private Thyroid Practitioner
I've been having T4 treatment for Hypothyroidism on NHS for a while, and I'm still feeling terrible. I have private health insurance coverage though, and I haven't used it. Also have low testosterone which I've been successfully treated for. Could someone PM me the best Endo on the private list?

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I don't remember seeing any discussions about the Q Risk with relation to a stroke or heart attack. My last bloods came back normal, no action. My cholesterol was 5.3 and I'm on 2mg pred.I asked the nurse what the Q risk was and it came up as 25% chance of a stroke or heart attack within the next 10

Can someone please recommend where I can buy…
Hi Folks, I need to source some T3 urgently. The normal place I can get it from is out of stock. Can anyone please PM me with any suggestions of reliable suppliers. Sorry, I am not up to doing detailed explanations at the moment. Thanks and best.

Should I reduce T3?
Endo ( reluctantly) agreed 5mg increase of T3 🥳 currently take 125mg T4 & 10mg T3. When i began introducing T3 originally I was advised by 'The Knowledgable Ones' here 👍to reduce T4 before introducing T3. Which worked out very nicely 'Thank you All' Do I need to do that again with these results

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin

Leukocytes, protein and blood.
Hi all, my urine samples have started showing leukocytes protein and blood. I have GPA which mainly affects my lungs and now sinuses. I guess I just want to know if having these in my urine with no actual urine infection could mean that there's possibly now kidney involvement too?. Hope you're all keeping

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

Has anyone tried Neovos for an MMA urine test please?
Hi...wondering if anyone has tried these for tests please? I've used St Thomas hosp in past but they stopped over covid and am awaiting to hear back from them about current testing. Meanwhile these came up as offering a b12 urine test for £63,which is for MMA considerably cheaper than others available

Hello, My endo has told me this week to increase from 5mcg T3 to 7.5mcg and if that feels ok / no palpitations after a week to go up to 10mcg. I’m also on levo 150 and have been told to go up to 175 at weekends. I posted my recent blood results on Monday. All vits tested December and optimal. Iron

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

Any endos in London who will prescribe T3/T4 Combo?
Ideally I need an endo who will take insurance for tests and who will prescribe t3 if needed. My functional thyroid doctor has become too expensive for me. Please DM if you can suggest anyone in London. Thank you!

Newly diagnosed. Looking for advice
Good morning. I've sadly recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
