Waiting on endo appointment

Hi

Thanks for adding me.

I have Hashimotos. Currently waiting on an endo appointment to be prescribed more T3 to add to my Levothyroxine, was diagnosed in 2014 but because I am waiting on the endo appointment I have been reducing my T3 just so I can keep enough until the appointment.

GP and appointments line receptionists have both said I have a clinical need for the T3 since it is keeping me in work.

I am experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism like hard stool puffy eyes fatigue pins and needles muscle cramps heavy periods loss of appetite hair loss.

Currently taking the T3 on alternate days with 100mcg Levothyroxine, not sure I should be doing this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to post blood test results and ranges to hopefully get advice.
