Trying to balancing T3 and T4
Sad and disappointed to be here asking for help yet again. Yes, I have been chopping and changing my doses desperately trying to find my sweet spot, not knowing who or what to believe. My latest results are : June 23 (0n 118mcg T4 and 17.5mcg T3) (bloods taken 9am before morning meds) TSH 0.01

Anomalous results - follow up
Hello everyone, This is a follow up to my last post two months ago which described the anomalous results from two tests one NHS and one Medichecks only one day apart and both done following the usual protocol. These were done following an increase in levo to 100mcg on 1 June. As I expected when my GP

Carbohydrates and the thyroid
Is it important to consume complex carbohydrates daily to help aid conversion of T3? I know proteins and healthy fats are important too but I don’t always consume a lot of carbohydrates or maybe not enough? I take thyroxine only and have recently posted about below range T3 but normal T4 and TSH

folate vs folic acid
I’ve been searching for a post that says not to take folic acid if your folate level is low. My daughter’s folate level is 2.95 (side effect of netformin)and her b12 is only 283. Hee GP has given her folic acid and will only repeat after 1 yr! Madness. Her tsh is 0.9 and they didn’t test t4 or t3.

subclinical hyperthyroidism
Hi everyone, I have had subclinical hyperthyroidism for a few years with my TSH results going in and out for a while. The last couple of years they have been just out of range consistently so my NHS endocrinologist put me on carbimazole 5mg but it didn’t suit me. I’ve now been on Propylthiouracil 50mg

seeing Endo for first time
this is my first post. I was recently in hospital for atrial fibrillation, knowing that my TSH levels had been outside of reference range (low and slowly dropping) I asked the dr to check my thyroid again. I only have what they told me my TSH was low at 0.14, ( ref range 0.35-4.94)I think T3&T4 were

Prep for GP appointment update
I hope you can bear with me on this one. Following on from my last post re prep for my GP appointment I was dissapointed with the general way the consultation went (they were new to the GP practice ) Although I didn't expect him to agree to testing my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin I did hope he would agree

Advice please re B12 to supplement or not
Following covid in July I have been experiencing tingling in feet and hands. I've left it until now in the hope it would resolve and while it has lessened it is still there. I currently take 100mg t4 and 10ug t3. GP blood test results 17 August : HbA1c 34mmol/mol (20-41) TSH 1.46 mu/L (0.3-4.2)

Bloods advice pls -starting T3 combo
Morning everyone, hope you're good. 😁I'm getting ready to start t3 combo. There have been a few hiccups with thyroxine dosage/supply. So currently, my prescription of thyroxine has gone up to 87.5mcg, (was put down to 75 as they didn't stock 85) & 5mcg of T3. I just wanted to check in with you to

Help with Medicheck results
I have been on 75mcg for a number of years since having a lobectomy and isthmusectomy in 2015. This was reduced from 100mcg in 2019 following TFT (TSH 0.02) even though I felt well on this dose. I have been feeling very fatigued and achy for a while and had a blood test by the GP in January 2023 for

I'm on NDT. It's taken almost a year to get to this point, but last week I moved up to 2+3/4 Grains of NDT (Armour) from 2.5 grains after a blood test. TSH - 3.78 FT4 - 14.4 Range 12-22, (24%) FT3 - 4.7 Range 3.1-6.3, (50%) For the first time the increase has not caused me problems. I usually suffer

Oct 2023 report says that to avoid heart problems in later life keep TSH and Free T4 at these levels; please advise if this is correct?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2213858723002279.
The findings from checking patient records is that the lowest risk of heart disease in elderly people is when they have:
Free T4 between 13.5 -14.8 pmol/L
TSH between 1.9 - 2.9 mIU/L
Can anyone
