Mandy are you on levo? Your tsh is so high!

Just being nosy but why do you want to get them before the doc can see them? Mine won't give them out until the gp has given them the ok.

[puncturedbicycle in reply to puncturedbicycle]

Ok, sorry, I just checked your profile and see you're on t3 alone? Maybe all your palps, feeling unwell etc has been down to being undermedicated. I think you need a little increase (pending ranges).

[mandy72 in reply to puncturedbicycle]

im on the T3 page on facebook and from what ive said they say i could be pooling, so i want all the results to post there so i can find out and start acting on anything that needs doing, allso i will get told everything is is ok when clearly its now, allso have the saliva test ready to do early next week possibly tuesday

im getting no benefits at all from T3

no energy

allways tired

and awful palpitations

i halved my dose on advise of the T3 page and im feeling better (slightly) and my pulse does not go as high

[puncturedbicycle in reply to mandy72]

Yes but to be fair you'd feel very ill w such a high tsh and (I presume) low t3. So this looks like undermedication, or possibly t3 alone will just not suit. How much are you taking?

My palps are at their worst when I reduce (or skip a dose).

[mandy72 in reply to puncturedbicycle]

ill see what the saliva test shows

i do feel awful

i sit all day, i neeed to push a trolley for shopping, it really zaps me going up the stairs for a wee

[puncturedbicycle in reply to mandy72]

Yes, you are dreadfully undermedicated. It will make you feel terribly weak and crap. I feel for you.

[mandy72 in reply to puncturedbicycle]

im thinking adrenals

i was on 40-50mcg t3 and felt at my worst

[puncturedbicycle in reply to mandy72]

Ok, good luck.
