Blood tests result after using T4?T3 combination
Hello everyone, I have been on the T4/T3 combination therapy since 14 November 2019. 75 mcg T4 and 40 mcg T3 in 2 doses. I reduced T4 from 100 mcg/day to 75 mcg/day, a week before adding T3. However, I started slowly and gently with 5 mcg T3 twice/day and increased every 2 weeks to 10, 15 and 20 mcg

How to Emotionally Prepare for Surgery
A few years ago, a friend preparing for her double mastectomy asked me, “𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆?” This is a great question. Here are some things that helped me: 1. Take photos. You could schedule a photo shoot or have someone close to you take

Surgery with an auto immune disorder
Good morning all Some issues have come to light in my family recently which mean I may be eligible for a BRCA ( it’s the gene mutation which increases the risk of breast cancer amongst others) test. It seems to me that the worst possible outcome would be to agree to the test, be tested positive but then

RECENT EPISODE on 24 January 2020
Though I had experience of knocking sensation before but last Friday's episode was really dreadful after my dinner. On sitting I felt a pressure on mid-chest area, it was something like I have been locked from inside and can get relief if I have some belching. Noted the BP which was high 180/70 HR 78

Will the tight feeling ever get better?
Hi this is my first time posting.. I had a mastectomy last February.. two rounds of chemo before and 30 rounds of radiation after. My tumor was large and had attached to my arm muscle..My chest is dented and feels like a drum head stretched to tight.. I’m wondering if this feeling will ever go away..

Iron overload
I know it's not technically thyroid problem per se but as iron is related to thyroid I hope people know more about iron. Last summer I had iron panel, can't remember all numbers but I will dig them up if necessary. Ferritin was 31 (10-291) Serum iron was on high end the range but not over range. Transferrin

Thyroid or vitamins causing hair shedding?
Hi I’m currently experiencing increased hair shedding and have been diagnosed with telogen effluvium and it’s making me very anxious. I have been reading on the forum that the best time for thyroid testing is early morning. The only two thyroid tests I have occurred at 2:30 and the latest one occurred

Mastectomy or Not?
I have been troubled with just overthinking my Onc plan for my path going forward. I trust that she is making decisions with my best interest in mine, I google a lot and sometimes that can be a nightmare. To explain, I was slated to have my mastectomy on my left breast where the tumor is located. Just

Smaller pancreas than normal
Hi, my thoracic surgeon advised me yesterday that my pancreas is smaller than normal. I had total gastrectomy 6 months ago and I have been having some pain after eating. Does anyone know if I am not producing enough enzymes, causing issues to gain weight?

Treatment With Intramuscular Levothyroxine in Refractory Hypothyroidism
Given the regular appearance of patients who appear unable to tolerate levothyroxine, I thought this paper had the potential to be very interesting. And indeed the abstract is fascinating - as far as it goes. The full paper will be accessible in PubMed Central from 01/06/2020. [i]Eur Thyroid J, 8 (
