Ferritin, B12 and folate results
Hi all I’d be grateful for any advice on the following results and details of the best supplements to take if you think I should boost them? The ferritin seems particularly low (even if it is technically in range). I eat red meat and leafy greens but struggle with things like liver so I guess I’d

Hashimotos & FT3. Advice needed - Rock bottom - About to try Thybon (poor FT4- FT3 conversion).
Hi Everyone, I have been supported a lot by this community already. Thank you. I am a 39 year old male, living in Ireland. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2019. I started Eltroxin at that time. I started on 25mg, and increased to 50mg at the start of 2023. I generally eat well, and exercise

Does Immunotherapy cause Vasculitis?
Hi, my Mum had vasculitis in 2013 following a bad infection, she continues to take 5mg prednisone to this day.Sadly she has been diagnosed with a stage 2 tumor of the cecum which because of her age and frailty at 81 years old is suggested to be inoperable. Genetic testing reveals its a type of cancer

teva update
I posted last week that pharmacy2 u had a problem delivering TEVA thyroxine and I got a prescription to take to a local chemist. I’ve phoned 15 and none have TEVA in stock. Does anyone know of another lactose free thyroxine I can ask for ?

Help with T4 and T3
Hi everyone, I have been taken 75mcg T4 at bedtime. I swapped to bedtime years ago as I felt better. Taking the T4 in the mornings was dire. I could not even start moving until about 2/3 hours later. I have since been given T3. Now on 20mcg. I take this about 10am in the morning. It is not really

Help with latest Blood Test
Hello, I’m hoping someone can give some advice on latest blood test please. I am on 100mgs Levothyroxine. I did trial T3 but didn’t notice much difference by taking T3really. Im not sure if this is because I wasn’t on a high enough dose of L4 at the start of trialing it. I have taken the D1o2 test

Prolactin
Have shared the possibility of prolactin feeding advanced pc with mo/urologist . Dr's found the possibility of lowering prolactin interesting but have never heard of anyone using in their practice. If anyone can advise of a doctor using this in their protocol please reply so I can share with my doctors

Heart rate, swollen tongue, can’t sleep. Hypo with Levo.
Please can someone advise me? I’ve been here before and I’m scared to go back to my doctor because I’m reliving the same rodeo I took back in 2019 when my private endo told me to stop taking Levo. I now cannot go private through my healthcare as all they will pay for is to completely remove my thyroid

Visiting Turkey to Buy T3 (Tiromel)
Has anyone been anywhere in Turkey recently (or recently ish!) to buy T3 over the counter? Now that the Greece over the counter route appears to have stopped, I'm considering looking into Turkey. I would much rather buy in person than relying on something being legit when ordering online/buying through

To split or not to split?
I have decided to start self medicating again and used the company I first used to buy some thyroxine. They have changed brands and now only supply Eltroxin in 100 mcg tablets. Tbh I didn't even think about that so ordered some thinking I could just split them as I felt 50 was a better starting point
