T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
Hello lovely people, i hope everyone is managing to catch up on the long overdue sun ;) Sadly, my gynaecologist has found an ovarian tumour which needs to be removed and biopsied. Recovery from this will take between 6-8 weeks. I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine

Hydroxyurea and Anagrelide
Goid evening, I visited a local hematologist this week, not my MPN specialist, due to non coverage and he suggested trying combo of Hydroxyurea and Anagrelide. Has anyone used this combination for treatment of ET? Also, maybe (2) 81 mg baby aspirin/ day to counteract the ever increasing platelets which

For anyone who is on T3 only... When did you realise you needed it?
Hi everyone. I've been on a real journey since January with Hashimoto's. I started on levothyroxine and it made me feel a lot worse. I started seeing a private thyroid doctor who looked at my bloods and saw my T3 had dropped on levo, and with my symptoms she decided levo was not right for me and put

Atorvastatin
hello. Mr GP surprised me when I visited him for something else when he informed me I had high cholesterol (7.5) and prescribed 30mg of Atorvastatin daily. Within a few days bad side effects appeared. I became so tired and drowsy. If I sat down I fell asleep almost instantly. I got an extreme

Shall I raise my Levo
I’ve been on 115mcg of T4 now for around 3 months. For one month I did the carnivore/keto diet with a little T3 but it was so hard to stick to. I’ve been eating normally again with no T3 now for about 2-3 weeks. My levels are still quite low so I’m thinking of going up to 125mcg per day does this sound

1 year post diagnosis
I am a 54 yo male living in Vegas, I found out I was Jak2 positive last year, looked at labs before doctor and freaked. I have been having slightly higher RBC and Platelets for around 6-7 years. I used to donate blood pretty regularly and took testosterone, so the doctors kinda ignored it. I was a paramedic

T3 battles
I’m on T3 only, taking 30mcg in one dose daily. Spoke to the endocrinologist this morning and after explaining to her that the reason I don’t take levothyroxine is because it made me far worse she said she’s never heard anyone that’s happened to. I told her I currently have symptoms of being under medicated

Best way to take NDT
Hello, today is my first day taking NDT. I was on a T4/T3 combo for the last two years. I usually chewed my meds (T4, T3) and tried to grind them as much as possible with my teeth before drinking a glass of water. What is the best way to take NDT? Can I take it in the same way to ensure good absorption

Reverse T3, stress and temperature
hello. I am one of a few outliers here, not hashi, but some classic low thyroid symptoms eg loss of eyebrows, leg hair, and in bloods, poor converter and not high t3, and for me most telling, low temperature and heart rate. (i am not posting results today) People have suggested it is central hypothyroidism

PLMD medication
Hello I just joined because i was recently diagnosed with PLMD. The doctors don't really seem very informed about this condition. My ferritin level was fine around 200 so I decided to not supplement that even though the hospital advised me to. I then went onto take Pramipexole (didn't help) for

GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

T4 keeps dipping and Endo says levels are still “good” (but I feel exhausted)
Hi all, I used to be on: -150mg of Levo And - 1.5 grains of ERFA NDT which was very suitable for years. My T4 would usually come out in between 18 to 20 pmol/L (range is 9.0 to 23.0 pmol/L), and my T3 whilst on the upper end of acceptable, would come out in between 4.6 and 6.5 pmol/L (range is

Is lactose intolerance and soya sensitivity affecting absorption of T4?
SlowDragon If I have a lactose intolerance and sensitivity to soya, could this be affecting my T4 absorption or conversion to T3? If so, would liquid thyroxine help or do I need T3 added? I recall reading a post regarding this from you but I am unsure where it is now. I avoid lactose and soya but

Private GP visit
I saw I private GP today as I felt with more time to go through my symptoms and tests I might get somewhere. But she is of the opinion that my B12, ferritin and folate levels were all fine and nothing to worry about. They are within range. I asked about my symptoms, but she didn’t feel they warranted

St George’s NHS 1st Appointment Query
Is anyone treated under St George’s NHS? I had a question about the first appointment. The letter states to bring a urine sample. Was this necessary?
