Sex hormones
Hi,whilst I'm tweaking my t4/t3 combo and feeling better,I think I'm needing to learn about my sex hormones....very low libido for along time. Any advice on this would be magnanimously appreciated.

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

Post Covid B12 and Vitamin D crash
Hi,I have had multiple health problems since my first bout of Covid in 2022, and blood panels revealed low B12, D and very low ferritin (11). I started having B12 injections and got my ferritin to 159 and my folate up to 45 from 5. I was feeling healthy and many of my symptoms had stopped. I had been

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!

raised HbA1c
I told my GP I hadn’t had any bloods done for well over a year when I went regarding a skin problem. She only ordered FBC and HbA1c. Unfortunately no ESR or U&E’s. I’m a bit upset as HbA1c gone up to 50 which puts me in diabetic realm. I try to keep carbs low but ‘could do better’. Just had message

Headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy
Hi, does anyone else get headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy? I have read the side effects leaflet and it states that 'headache' and 'insomnia' are two of the side effects; since I have been on T3 only I often wake up in the night and have a very light sleep compared to what I am used to, then

Adrenal support - early days of T3
Hi I have recently started on Liothyronine - followed advice to start slowly and all seems to be going well. I am also on very regular B12 injections. I have a question about supporting adrenal glands. I had (may still have…) low morning cortisol, was given a Short Synacthen test which I passed but

worse after b12 injection
really confused what and where to go from here… I had a b12 hydroxy shot done 3 days ago and I have had so much brain fog, fatigue and just feel spacey ever since. I also do have currently low ferritin of 20 and my b12 was around 250 prior to injection. I had been told people felt better straight away

Basal body temp dip - miscarriage?
Morning - I'm 6 + 1 weeks and I've used Natural Cycles for years to track my cycle, and since ovulation my temperature went from 36.3-5 to consistently hovering around 36.9. However I measured my temperature Monday and this morning, and it's dropped to 36.7 (have attached a screenshot of my graph).
