Headache solved?
As my symptoms started returning, I upped my levo every 3rd day from 50mcg to 75mcg. Headaches started and only went if I upped my T3 from 5mcg to 7.5 mcg (Levo 7am, T3 8am) I take 2 further 5mcg T3 in the day. I sometimes take my second T3 dose as a 7.5mcg dose if I'm really slowing down, grinding to

LIOTHYRONINE
I had been on Liothyronine for a couple of years and not noticed any difference to energy etc and my sleep was dreadful. Consultant halved my dose and when I complained at last appointment about severe pain in joints and I can hear the joints rubbing together he said I should have a bone density scan

Results Advice Needed Please
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

Help Needed with my Levo Dose
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid at the end of last year. My GP started me on 50mcg levothyroxine. She increased this to 75mcg in March, then to 100mcg (at my request) in July. I've now been on that dose for 7 weeks and just took a private test (following the standard protocol) with MMH so that I know

No t3 or t4 test this time..
My recent blood test showed my tsh was within normal range but Consultant didn't request t3 or t4. I have been advised to continue on 15 my carbimazole. Should I have had t3 and t4 tested? I always have in the past but not this time, for some reason.. not feeling particularly brilliant either.. 😒

One more step along the road I go 🎵
I ‘piggybacked’ on someone else’s post yesterday - apologies - as it opened up a line of thought but which I was rightly advised to post separately. This is it. Could someone help harness my straying thoughts re converting T4 to T3? I’ve been on a low dose, 75mcgs levo for two years now, initially

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

Advice on labs, high RT3, high SBHG, low T
This is my first real post on this forum. I'd appreciate if experienced members could take a look at my labs and history and let me know what they think. I'm a 46-year-old male from Canada but living in France for the past 10 years. I've had deteriorating health issues for close to 5 years (likely longer

What can my NHS GP test for ?
I can see that a thyroid panel is : TSH , FT4 , FT3, Thyroglobulin antibodies , Thyroid peroxidase antibodies . Can this whole test be ran by my NHS GP ? Has any one else had it done via the NHS my GP said he can only test for TSH but I’m not really in a position to be able to go and get a private test
