Low T4
Hi I have been taking 40mg liothyronine for 10 + years - this has never been changed. Recent trip to A & E ( very high BP) the Dr queried my low T4 levels but my GP is saying that this is normal with someone taking T3 meds.I would be very grateful for reassurance that my GP is correct .

T3 Dosing times
Hi all, I recently listened to an excellent podcast from Dr Amie Hornaman about timings and taking thyroid hormone to get the most out of the medication. Ie taking only with water and 1hr each side of eating or drinking anything (other than water). It has triggered me to be much more stringent on taking

Help to updose T3
Hi Lovely people, I haven't been on for a while after one issue after another. I am on Liothyronine 20mcg 3 times a day. I have found my T3 dropping although still in range as my endo says so not concerned. I only started putting weight on just before being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That was

Hyperthyroidism blood results.
Morning all, I posted here several weeks ago as I had been taken off Levothyroxine after high t4 results. I have half a thyroid as had a benign growth. I paid for a blood test and after a couple of issues with the finger prick tests, I got a nurse friend to take my bloods. I got the results this morning

Why does the British Thyroid Foundation not recommend T3 for Hypothyroidism?
I was gathering information about T4, T3 and thyroid in general, when I came across a page on the BTF site that says treating hypothyroidism with T3 is NOT recommended and that treating it with T4 alone has better results. I was a little bit surprised by this statement and wondered what their thinking

A night in the life of RLS
Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!
