Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Buying T3 privately
Can I have some help with sourcing T3 privately. I am UK. Endo has me on 10 mcg of T3, morning dose, for the last 9 weeks. I feel that this should be upped, but I do not see him now for another 2 months. I would like to be able to adjust my T3 in increments as my hypo symptoms are back. They were

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

Hi, I recently had my bloods done with monitor my health on 10/01/24 and the results indicated low folate and thyroid levels not optimal.

Chronic pain , degenerative spinal disease
I am at the end of my tether with chronic pain and more recently, peripheral neuropathy. Every 8 weeks I have a B12 injection for management of Pernicious Anaemia diagnosed in 1985. However, the pains shooting into my toes and burning sensation around week 6, drives me crazy. The GP is nice but does

Advice with Graves Disease
Hi All - I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in June 2023 and prescribed Carbimazole 20mg plus Propranolol 80mg Sustained Release. I have never actually met my endocrinologist owing to NHS strikes, so as a 60yo man I feel pretty alone with this condition as I don't know anyone else who has it. After

TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)?
