Bloods and reduced T3
Hi all Since my last post, I had felt overcooked on T3. Endo suggested reduction of T3 from 2.5mcg along with T4 87.5mcg levo in the morning and 2.5mcg reduction in the afternoon. I decided to hold the T4 at 87.5mcg, and whilst the T3 reduction stopped the adrenals from throbbing and the hip from

Please review my blood results
Hi, please review my bloods and advise. My TPA antibodies have increased since my last bloods in March. I am under an endocrinologist who said that there is nothing that can be done to reduce high antibodies. I am due to start IVF in four weeks and I am worried it will fail due to high antibodies.

Dental surgery when on prednisone?
I have had PMR for a year and have slowly tapered from 10 mg to 4 mg prednisone. I’m still tapering very slowly. I can’t tell if my adrenal glands have kicked in again yet or not, but in general I am doing pretty well. I am now scheduled for a tooth extraction that I had been putting off because of Covid
