Fatty Liver disease and Triglyceride levels
There's also a particular type of cholesterol associated with the liver called
VLDL
: Is this a
test
that an NHS GP can do or is it a specialist test?

VLDL results - confusing
I read somewhere that a
VLDL
test
was more worthwhile so went for that. The result is just one number (<5mg/dL). Apparently, anything below 30mg/dL is good. It’s clearly a different system and units from the HDL and LDL tests.

New T3 Supplier Please
Hi Everyone, I posted earlier about my T3 supplier and have been advised by mods to consider change to Tiromel instead as better availability. I would really appreciate details of recent suppliers for this, by DM only please as per group rules. Thank you and keep well everyone. Gillian

Re: ?D102 test
Hiya! Does anyone know, please: 1) If the D102 test is the one that tests for the gene related to t4 to t3 conversion? 2) I looked at Regenerus Labs and on the test it says: “DI02 Support telephone consultation…Recommended: Contact practitioner before placing order” does anyone know what this

latest bloods
I’m on a journey with t3 it’s taking a while. Latest bloods reflect 15mcg taken in one dose and 50mcg levothyroxine I think I need to increase levo but on 75 I was slightly over medicated I felt. A reply on here suggested 62.5mcg as middle road which makes sense to me but pills are tiny and crumbly

T3 private source
I wonder is it possible to source T3 outside of UK as you can with NDT? Been on NDT a few years but this latest batch doesn’t seem to suit like it usually does. Please PM me if know of a reliable source. Thank you.

Was hoping for some advice please
Didn't really receive any advice from my previous post https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/151062372/help-please After dropping from 125mcg Levo to 100mcg and retesting after 9 weeks, my T4, very surprisingly, is still quite high in range and I think I still feel overmedicated. As with last

dreaded GP request for bloods
Well there it is. It took longer than I expected I must say - around 7 years since I started my (real) thyroid journey, and about 5 since I last spoke to a GP about it, but the call has finally come. No more T3 until they have bloods. Of course I have bloods, but they almost all show me being over

One last push ..please...help for my Dad. NHS treatments no longer viable - Pca stage 4.

adrenal insufficiency
hi I have a question about changing medication. I have GCA (3 years) but doing well and have reduced pred to 3mg. My endocrinologist wants to change the prednisilone to cortisone twice a day, 10mg am and 5mg pm in order to help kick start the adrenals. I've had the short Synacthen test twice now and

Supplements for Insulin Resistance
Hello Everyone, I've been reflecting on my symptoms and have come to realize that they are all connected to insulin resistance. These include issues like brain fog, not feeling satisfied after meals and feeling dizzy in the evening etc. The good news is that my fasting insulin levels are now within

How to split thyroid erfa in two doses?
Good morning, I have been taking thyroid erfa for more than a year now. It has helped a lot. Higher body temperature, higher pulse, no more constipation, no more cold chills, very good free T3 levels (5+), no more heart palpitations. However, I am still very tired and it gets me the most around lunch

Cortisol Testing
I found the following on Google... Can you test cortisol levels while on prednisone? If you are on prednisolone once daily, you can have a synacthen test in the morning before your next dose. The prednisolone from 24 hours previously will not be detectable, so the cortisol values will be accurate. https
