Susiebow,

The expiry date doesn't mean that potency of T3 will drop off the closer it gets to expiry or even after expiry, it simply means that potency has been guaranteed during that period.

It is possible that you are having adverse effects to Mercury Pharma T3 but as that is the only T3 available on NHS you will have to buy Uni-Pharma or Tiromel online to see whether an alternative suits you better.

I suspect the fluctuation in your symptoms is due to Hashimoto's and you're having to adjust T3 dose to accommodate those fluctuations. 100% gluten-free diet may improve symptoms and reduce antibodies.
