has anyone felt not great on T3?
I’m on a T3 trial and haven’t felt like myself on it since I started, my TSH is too low for my Endo, who will want to reduce my meds next week. Has anyone gone down from 10mg to 5 mg and felt better? My endo reduced my T4 to go on the trail and I’ve gotten her to increase it back up a little but I

change of meds.
so I’ve been on levo for 15 years and have hashimotos . Around 3 years ago I was added t3 too. I still feel awful and would like my GP to change my levo to a different brand maybe? As all my symptoms seem to be inline with my levo and the side effects. Has anyone had success with this ? I would really

Latest thyroid test results
Hi everyone, After being underdosed on 25mcg of Levothyroxine for almost a decade, my new GP increased my dose to 50mcg around 6 months ago. The increase was done slowly over 6 weeks, as advised by people in this group. I had some blood tests done two days ago and today I got a message from the GP saying

Low tsh 0.01 and low t4 12/13 even on levothyroxine
I have had bloods done and tsh is majorly supressed and t4 is low even on levothyroxine. 12/13 t4 (range 9-19) I have tingling and leg swelling daily and I'm unsure what this may be. Any advice or similar story's would be helpful

My levels
Hi I've been taking Levothyroxine for about 10 years. I had blood tests recently and my TSH was 5.78 and T4 was normal at 13. I really don't like taking Levothyroxine. Is there any case that I can stop taking Levothyroxine? Am I subclinical? Many thanks Mika

How to share MPs response on Healthunlocked.
I recently write to my MP about the cost of T3. He posed two questions to the Govt. and I think people here might like to see them but I'm not sure how to share them. Any hints gratefully received as I really do no want to type them.

Best Private Endo and/or Private Thyroid Practitioner
I've been having T4 treatment for Hypothyroidism on NHS for a while, and I'm still feeling terrible. I have private health insurance coverage though, and I haven't used it. Also have low testosterone which I've been successfully treated for. Could someone PM me the best Endo on the private list?

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I don't remember seeing any discussions about the Q Risk with relation to a stroke or heart attack. My last bloods came back normal, no action. My cholesterol was 5.3 and I'm on 2mg pred.I asked the nurse what the Q risk was and it came up as 25% chance of a stroke or heart attack within the next 10

Can someone please recommend where I can buy…
Hi Folks, I need to source some T3 urgently. The normal place I can get it from is out of stock. Can anyone please PM me with any suggestions of reliable suppliers. Sorry, I am not up to doing detailed explanations at the moment. Thanks and best.

unusual test results
why would my T3 be high in the range with T4 mid range? After a few hard months of GP changing my meds I’m now back up to 175mcg of Levo. Just had my results and they are nothing I’ve had before it’s always T4 above my T3 .Just wondering why and what might have caused this ? TSH. 0.11 0.55-4.78

Should I reduce T3?
Endo ( reluctantly) agreed 5mg increase of T3 🥳 currently take 125mg T4 & 10mg T3. When i began introducing T3 originally I was advised by 'The Knowledgable Ones' here 👍to reduce T4 before introducing T3. Which worked out very nicely 'Thank you All' Do I need to do that again with these results

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin

Leukocytes, protein and blood.
Hi all, my urine samples have started showing leukocytes protein and blood. I have GPA which mainly affects my lungs and now sinuses. I guess I just want to know if having these in my urine with no actual urine infection could mean that there's possibly now kidney involvement too?. Hope you're all keeping
