Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I

Psoriasis, Vitamin D and Shea Butter
Hello! I wanted to share my recent success with plaque psoriasis. (Backstory alert - skip to last couple of paragraphs for "point"🙃) - I've had psoriasis for several years now. Started with guttate psoriasis about 7 years ago (though at the time, I thought it was just a rash/an allergic reaction).

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

My calcium level appears low within bone profile blood tests. Are these an accurate representation I wonder?
Diagnosed with osteopenia after having Dexa scans in 2016 and 2023 and breaking wrist and arm in separate incidents of slipping on ice. My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another

Help interpreting results
Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Thyroid blood test results.
Been on Levothyroxine for 34 years (Hashimotos)Recent private blood test results are: TSH 0.009 Free T3 4.6 Free Thyroxine 26.2 I feel well at this dose but have been advised by GP that I am over medicated. Also, Ferritin is on the low end at 69.1 Do I need to take iron supplements? Vit D is deficient
