Ferritin update
Hello. As I mentioned before I have a monthly blood test. This time I asked for details regarding my ferritin levels. At my previous test it was 144. I believe that's a good reading. Thanks

advice please- protein shakes
I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes

When to take iron with T3 multi-dosing.
I'm writing this post again as I didn't get many replies and my private Dr hasn't replied. I'm trying to work out when to fit in taking iron (Three arrows) with my T3 doses. I am taking T3 as per my private Dr's schedule which is 3 times per day and 6-7 hours apart. I'm wondering whether to switch to

Flare after short synacthen test
I've been on Pred since April 2022, starting at 15mg and have reduced to 3.5mg - it has taken work, but I've used Dorset Lady's super slow reduction protocol and it has got me to where I am now. I had a short synacthen test 3rd July to see if I would be able to come off Prednisolone, but had to immediately

Hypothyroid to Hyperthyroid??
Hi all, I’m hoping someone here might be able to cast some light on what’s happening to me at the moment. I have been hypothyroid for the last 37 years and have been on 100mcg all that time, never any problems. However, my last routine checkup my blood tests came back and one of them was 64.4 just

slow release liothyronine
Like many people on here I miss the wise opinion and knowledge of Diogenes enormously. I know he was working on the formulation of a slow release liothyronine which was in clinical trial. Does anyone have an update on this? is it any closer? In the meantime I am tempted to try sustained release compounded

Update from GP re blood in urine
Phone call first thing from Surgery. Please could you drop in a fresh urine sample. OK yes no problem, take it to GP surgery and nurse says, "will test now" Hm yes still very small traces of blood and also small evidence of Leuokocytes, could be due to UTI. Just check with GP, she says, GP

Enid has told me T3 will shorten my life
At my recent endo appointment, the Professor looked at me over the top of his spectacles and said, ‘if the blood test comes back right, I’m happy for you to stop taking the trial of T4 ‘(which I was coerced into taking) “and go onto 3 x day T3, 10mcg. You do realise it’s as clear as barn doors staring

Heart palpitations - could these results be why?
I’m recently having heart palpitations and wondered if my latest blood test results could be showing my thyroxine dose is not right. Can anyone help please? Many thanks.

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Nitrofurantoin - good or bad?
Not sure that this is posted in the best place, but I don't seem to be able to access any other links atm. I have been prescribed this antibiotic for traces of blood in urine just over 2 days ago. 50mg to be taken at night. Only on the third dose so it's early days, but had quick urine test done

Lab Cut Backs (blood testing)!
I've read on here numerous times about people being refused T3 tests because "we're not allowed to test that any more" etc etc. Clearly appalling when trying to get a full picture of what's going on with your thyroid. I've just spoken to the GP about some other blood tests I'm having done tomorrow (

Just been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and quite a good positive she said 1260.
Hi All Just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing advice on this group. As I explained before I've had vertigo/dizziness and lots of other symptoms for nearly 2 years now. With loads of advice from this page with regards getting private blood tests done, pushing my Gp even though they said I do

Feeling pathetic...
Sitting at the hospital in the midst of a synacthen test and feeling sorry for myself. So I thought I'd vent on here to a group of lovely folk who understand what it's like to appear normal on the outside but struggling on the inside! Like most on here I hate having to admit I can't do what I used to

time to try T3
Hypothyroid - 20 years always on T4 but same brand Mercury Pharma, currently taking 150mcg. Like everyone I private test to get T3 T4 have paid in the past to see private endocrinologists and am reasonably well informed (mainly through this forum). I don’t suffer as badly as many people do but maybe
