Can Armour cause depression?
Hi and looking for advice. I have been taking Armour for just over two weeks having previously been on 100 mg of levothyroxine daily. I was so excited to be prescribed Armour as my T3 levels always fell below range and I had fatigue and joint pain when on levo. Already I think the joint pain is improving

Antibiotic therapy. Now I have severe insomnia
On February 25th, 2024 I must have injured my gum and I got a tooth/gum infection which was treated first unsuccessfully with amoxicillin, then successfully with cephalexin for 7 days (Mar 3rd - Mar 10th, 2024). The night that I finished the cephalexin I had difficulty sleeping (5 hr 51min). Each night

Kidney function good as well.. always make sure part of your regular lab work is a comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP). Now just to make myself committed to making

Thyroid meds with calcium?
Hi, I am taking .100T4 and 4.5 T3 in a.m. I take 4.5 T3 at noon and again at mid-afternoon. I have severe osteoporosis--Tscore -4.1. I am having a very hard time fitting in calcium (two 500mg doses), iron, and magnesium, all of which I need and have to be taken apart from each other. I also take

When to take my T3
Is it ok to take T3 first thing in the morning at the same time as other meds. I take statins and BP meds in the morning and my Levo at night. Or should I just take it at night with my Levo.

TSAT low, ferretin high
Dear fellow sufferers in RLS hell. My sleep medicine doctor suggested an iron infusion because my TSAT is 28,87% while my ferretin is 145,40ng/ml. I was taking iron supplement for 6 months before the test. I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between TSAT and ferritin. How high are

Synacthen Test
Hi, I received a letter from my Rheumatologist saying that my cortisol levels are normal following the Synacthen test 2 weeks ago. It says it is now safe to stop taking steroids. My question is, as i have been on steroids for over 5 years should i just stop or continue reducing. I am now taking 2.5mg

Help with dose and testing please
Iām arranging tests ahead of an endocrinology appointment but realise Iām not sure how to adjust / time my T3 dose ahead of this. I take my 40mcg T3 in a single dose at around 9:30-10pm. Iāve tried breaking the dose down but always feel slightly undermedicated. Seems for me at least the saturating

PSMA Analysis needed
I'm awaiting the visual images from my PSMA FDG scan. In the meantime, I've got a written report and I could do with your help.

T3 starting dose.
I appear to be a poor converter of t4 to t3. I had my first private endo appt today and have a private prescription for Liothyronine.T3. I have been given 3 months at 10mg daily. Is this a good starting dose. Just wondering whether to try 5mg daily first to see if it has the desired effect. Also going

Hi Until December last I was taking 40 mg iron bisglycinate with orange juice every two days. Since this had little impact on my RLS I increased the iron dose to 40mg every day from December until now. As yet I have noticed little change to my RLS symptoms. A blood test this month showed my ferritin

What and Why? Change of Brand??
Hi All, I have just had my most recent bloods back and they are a little confusing if I am honest! I am taking 200mcg Levo and 25mcg Lio. I had to change brand in November and didn't feel any ill effects from the change over. Can a change in brand really cause that much of a hike? I have been
