Appointment results. T3 upped.

[Anuba]

Well we shall see how I get on. My new Endo here is continuing my T3 treatment that was started in Scotland. I am on 10 mg three times a day. I usually take it 9am, 2pm and 7pm ish. I set my alarm for it.

Apparently my blood tests that were taken at the time suggest I should be taking a bit more. I dont have a copy of these recent ones yet.

Been doing this since and have noticed less palpitations and some easier weight loss although very gradual.

Is anyone else on 30 a day of T3. I have Hashimotos by the way.....and do not convert just thyroxine it makes me feel terrible when I took it for a year. So we will see if taking more helps.

Wish me luck x

Hello Anuba,

Its great that your endo is prepared to keep the T3 going when you feel better on it. Do you still take T4 as well?

I have Hashi and am on 20mcg T3 + 50 mcg T4 and feel so much better. I had a jumpy heart for four years when on T4 alone and it settled down on the second day of adding the T3.

If you post results when you eventually get them, someone will advise you if there's room for improvement.

I wish you luck, Anuba.

Shaws is on 30mcg T3 only which she takes in one dose. I'm on Levothyroxine plus 30mcg T3 and take 20mcg in the morning with T4 and 10mcg at bedtime.
