What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

Advice with Graves Disease
Hi All - I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in June 2023 and prescribed Carbimazole 20mg plus Propranolol 80mg Sustained Release. I have never actually met my endocrinologist owing to NHS strikes, so as a 60yo man I feel pretty alone with this condition as I don't know anyone else who has it. After

tsh or t4 to determine over medication
It’s controversial in the United States between using tsh or t4 to detect over medication. Which is the best test to conclude over medication tsh or t4? Any help would be appreciated.

TSH target
Hello, Thanks for everyone’s help with my questions already. I am in a thyroid group on Facebook and they have told me that if you are on levothyroxine medication for an under active thyroid then you should aim for your tsh to be as close to zero as possible, because the levothyroxine is meant to

Hello from New Zealand
My adult son was diagnosed with hypothyroidism from a routine test after a slight head injury during Covid lockdown. I have not been able to lose weight and so asked my GP for thyroid function test - and sure enough!! So was started on Eltroxin. Lately my usually reasonably well controlled BP went haywire

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Results of blood test
Hi, after OH had high Tsh Levels a couple of weeks a go (radioactive iodine 14 tears a go) gp prescribed higher dose of thyroxine - now 175Results from medicheck above Low vit d - would this affect the thyroxine absorption? If he sorts that would it then be sensible to reduce the thyroxine back down

Blood test percentages over years.

Looking for low or suppressed TSH research papers
Hello. I’m on combination T4/T3. I have an endo appointment soon. He reduced my Levo last year because of suppressed TSH. I want to be able to argue for it to be increased again so would need to take along some research that says it’s okay for TSH to be suppressed when on T3. Can anyone help with some
